11/4

Dual C&D winner who is unbeaten for new yard and arrives on a five-timer after further victories at Southwell and Fontwell. Assessor has reacted with 8 lb hike but still weighted for bold showing.

Form: 6/012R6-

West To The Bridge^h²⁰⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 129

13/2

Fairly useful winning hurdler who ended last season in good form. Makes his reappearance now after 6 months off with hood back on and needs to hit the ground running.

Form: P3P175-

Bailarico^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 128

40/1

Lightly-raced over hurdles and not seen out since early 2019. In good recent form on the Flat though so he enters calculations.

Form: 113140/

Molly Childers^p,t²²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 126

22/1

Ended last season in good form over fences, scoring at Catterick. Back hurdling now after 7 months off so others make more appeal.

Form: 3/86412-

Manning Estate²⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: O Sherwood| OR: 126

18/1

Signed off for last season with career-best win in 3m handicap hurdle (15/2) at Doncaster 8 months ago. Not ruled out if fully tuned up on his return.

Form: 2142/F1-

Fortunate George²¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 125| C

18/1

Latest win over hurdles at Warwick in February but unreliable type and has 7-month absence to overcome here. Course winner but others preferred.

Form: 735317-

Aimee De Sivola²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Nick Williams| OR: 124

9/1

Landed maiden hurdle at Warwick last October and ended season with good third in listed event at Doncaster (24.4f) Sure to go well if back from 7 months off in good nick.

Form: 8/12353-

Sirobbie²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Adrian Heskin| T: H Whittington| OR: 124| BF| CD

15/2

Four-time C&D winner who reverts to hurdles after failing to take to fences, modest sixth in handicap chase here 25 days ago. Well worth considering.

Form: 11P-626

Debestyman²⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 124

20/1

Low-mileage 7-y-o who hasn't been seen out since unseating rider last flight in handicap at Kempton (21f) when looking likely winner. Big run on the cards if back fully tuned up.

Form: 41/765U-

Generator City^p³⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: B Leavy| OR: 122

100/1

Ex-Irish winning hurdler/chaser for Denis Hogan. Makes yard debut now after 12 months off so fitness is clearly a big concern.

Form: 102541-

Forecasts

Dagueneau (5/2), Yes No Maybe So (11/4), West To The Bridge (13/2), Sirobbie (15/2), Aimee De Sivola (9/1), Ready And Able (10/1), Manning Estate (18/1), Kansas City Chief (18/1), Fortunate George (18/1), Debestyman (20/1), Molly Childers (22/1), Bailarico (40/1), Generator City (100/1)

Lots of these have their fitness to prove so it could be worth siding with YES NO MAYBE SO to rack up win number five for his new yard given he has no doubts on that score and still looked on the up when scoring at Fontwell last time. Dagueneau is feared most on the back of his excellent C&D second, with Sirobbie worth considering too now he reverts to hurdling after an unsuccessful spell chasing.
