Karakoram^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: Ben Jones| T: G Harris| OR: 111| CD

11/2

Off the mark from 3 lb lower mark over C&D 12 months ago and made the frame on 4 of his 6 starts thereafter last term. Not at very best so far this campaign but handicapper is relinquishing his grip.

Form: 2236-36

Vinnie's Getaway²⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁶⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 111| D

7/1

Bumper winner who showed ability in pair of novice hurdle runs 8 months apart, albeit looking a bit rusty at Taunton (19f) in March. Type to progress, particularly over 2½m+ this season.

Hawridge Storm¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Price| T: B R Millman| OR: 108

13/2

Fairly useful but temperamental maiden up to 1m on the Flat who has took well to hurdling, hitting the frame in maiden/novice events in recent weeks. Not discounted now handicapping.

Form: 23

Our Rodney³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 106

18/1

Fair 6f winner on the Flat as a 2-y-o who has showed ability over hurdles, his best effort when third in a Stratford novice (2m) on penultimate start. However, more needed now handicapping.

Form: 0-34

Mauricio^p³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 104| D

66/1

Hurdles/Flat winner for Richard Newland who has been confined to just 3 starts on the level for this stable, badly hampered when last of 9 at Haydock last month. Others preferred back over hurdles.

Form: 2/93365-

Throckley^t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Shane Quinlan| T: Katy Price| OR: 92| D

17/2

Maiden hurdle winner last August but ended 2019 in slightly disappointing fashion. Midfield in trio of starts on Flat/over hurdles so far this season but his mark continues to slide.

Form: 43U5-68

Peat Moss^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-6| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 105

3/1

Modest Flat maiden who left previous efforts in his wake when taking a Plumpton juvenile (17.7f) 17 days ago, stamina looking his strong suit. Gets a handy weight-for-age allowance now handicapping.

Form: 361

Forecasts

Roar (11/4), Peat Moss (3/1), Karakoram (11/2), Hawridge Storm (13/2), Vinnie's Getaway (7/1), Throckley (17/2), Fort De L'Ocean (16/1), Brave Jaq (16/1), St Lawrence Gap (16/1), Our Rodney (18/1), W S Gilbert (25/1), Head High (50/1), Mauricio (66/1)

The sole 3-y-o in the line-up PEAT MOSS looked all about stamina when opening his account in a Plumpton juvenile event 17 days ago and, now he's up and running, may well be able to kick on with his sights set on handicaps. Vinnie's Getaway is a likely improver switched to handicaps and feared, ahead of Roar and Hawridge Storm.
