Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 4m 52.69s

Tree Of Liberty^b1,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 118

12/1

Won pair of 2m novice handicap chases for Kerry Lee in 2018. Limited impact upon joining new yard but well handicapped and tried in blinkers now.

Form: U/068-47

France De Reve³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 118

6/4

French bumper winner who left previous hurdling efforts behind when scoring comfortably at Newton Abbot on handicap debut. Fair bit more to come, so hard to oppose.

Form: 1/725-1

Red Nika²¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 117

6/1

Point winner who offered encouragement when runner-up on two of his three outings last season. Should be tuned up after 7 months off and step up in trip promises to suit.

Form: 1/252-

Whatthebutlersaw²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 117| D

40/1

Is below last winning mark now but not in the form to capitalise based on what he's done so far this season.

Form: 02P/4-67

Jubilympics^h²¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 117| D

17/2

Generally performed creditably last season and, given her stable, could well be ready to go after 7 months off. Looks a definite player.

Form: 238263-

Roseriver Has¹⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 115

80/1

Ex-Irish hurdler who landed a 19f Downpatrick maiden hurdle in 2019 for Noel Meade. Hasn't offered much for current yard, though, and likely to need this return.

Form: 60/1909-

Shah An Shah²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 114

10/1

Progressive hurdler who proved suited by the step up in trip when landing a handicap at Doncaster 7 months ago. Drop in trip, 7-month absence and 5-lb rise all make this a tougher ask.

Form: 3/50431-

Minella Mojo^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 114

5/1

Back to form when second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter 19 days ago but remains vulnerable to better treated rivals.

Form: 3139-72

Outonpatrol²⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Adrian Heskin| T: A King| OR: 114WS

10/1

Left hurdling debut form well behind when second at Plumpton (20.5f, heavy) last November, Similar form at Wincanton a month later and in good hands, but opening mark asks for more on reappearance.

Form: 317/824-

Corri Lindo¹⁹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: J McGrath| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 113

28/1

Suited by sharp track when finally off the mark at Fakenham 6 months ago. He's certainly not an obvious type to follow up, though.

Form: PF4431-

St Lawrence Gap¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Luke Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 110

50/1

Fairly useful hurdler who has looked badly out of sorts this campaign.

Form: 3D6-P60

Hillary John²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: S Curran| OR: 110

16/1

20/1, good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) 28 days ago but mark demands a fair bit more.

Form: 17P/86-3

Exitas³³³

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr S Lee⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Middleton| OR: 108| D

40/1

Struggled for form over both sets of obstacles last season and unlikely to be tuned up for this after 11 months off.

Form: 8P3/359-

Linguine¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 102| D

100/1

On a lengthy losing run and returned with a tame display at Southwell recently. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 44484-9

Forecasts

France De Reve (6/4), Minella Mojo (5/1), Red Nika (6/1), Jubilympics (17/2), Outonpatrol (10/1), Shah An Shah (10/1), Generation Gap (12/1), Tree Of Liberty (12/1), Hillary John (16/1), Corri Lindo (28/1), Whatthebutlersaw (40/1), Exitas (40/1), St Lawrence Gap (50/1), Roseriver Has (80/1), Linguine (100/1)

FRANCE DE REVE had plenty in hand when making a winning handicap debut at Newton Abbot and has the scope for lots more progress, so she's a solid choice to follow up at the likely expense of handicap debutant Red Nika, who is open to improvement up in trip. Jubilympics looks the pick of the remainder.
