Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 6m 19.1s

Sandy Boy^b⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 110

12/1

Dual winner last season, including under this good conditional, but his attitude has deteriorated and he turned it in completely on his comeback at Stratford.

Form: 12489-P

Wasdell Dundalk⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 110

5/2

Brought along steadily last term and looked in need of the run on handicap debut/return at Fontwell (17.7f) in August. Much better expected upped markedly in trip now.

Form: 47465-4

Nobel Joshua^p⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 110

13/2

Needed every yard to open account over hurdles at Clonmel (3m) on final start for Gordon Elliott last month (sold £6,000). More needed on debut for new trainer.

Form: 60-6B51

Crystal Lad^p¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 108| CD

9/2

Bounced back to form to land only his second victory in C&D handicap a fortnight ago. Up just 3 lb and a player again for all this is a much deeper race.

Form: 7/5666-1

Cyclop^p,t²¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: T Symonds| OR: 103| C

7/1

Best runs in recent seasons have come over the Market Rasen fences. Reappears for Tom Symonds (1 of 2 here formerly trained by David Dennis who has joined the yard). Might need this to get his eye in.

Form: P/532P4-

Somekindofstar²⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham| OR: 102WS

14/1

More of a chaser on pedigree but showed a bit off a stiff-looking mark in a couple of handicap hurdles in January. Has had a wind operation and steps up in trip on return.

Form: F/32P60-

Innisfree Lad²⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: T Symonds| OR: 100

7/1

Hurdles winner who proved a bit disappointing after a promising chase debut last season. 1 of 2 to reappear for yard having run for David Dennis previously. Lurks on a good mark.

Form: 0/82459-

Hot To Trot^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs L Hill| OR: 100

50/1

Dual point winner who showed a bit in novice hurdles but fell 4 out when yet to be asked for effort on recent handicap debut at Fontwell (25.8f, heavy).

Form: F/15-P7F

Oldabbey Bridge^b,t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: J McGrath| T: C Hobson| OR: 95

8/1

Successful at Uttoxeter (20f) last season and proved he retains all his ability second time back at Plumpton 3 weeks ago. Steps up in trip in tougher race now.

Form: 7545-32

Always Able¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: T J O'Brien| T: Mrs F Kehoe| OR: 95

33/1

Some promise in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 21f last season but struggled on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (23.3f) on return last month.

Form: 62547-8

Forecasts

Wasdell Dundalk (5/2), Crystal Lad (9/2), Nobel Joshua (13/2), Innisfree Lad (7/1), Cyclop (7/1), Oldabbey Bridge (8/1), Linenhall (10/1), Sandy Boy (12/1), Bletchley Castle (12/1), Somekindofstar (14/1), Always Able (33/1), Hot To Trot (50/1)

There is likely plenty more to come from WASDELL DUNDALK now stepping up markedly in trip and a big run could be on the cards. Innisfree Lad, one of two in the race who have made the switch to the Tom Symonds stable along with David Dennis, lurks on a good mark on his return and is interesting. Crystal Lad won a thinner race here a fortnight ago but must be respected.
