Shetland Bus^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: Justin Landy| OR: 117

7/2

Handicap hurdle winner for this yard last winter and back to form reverted to chasing at Hexham last time. Goes handicapping in this sphere now and he's of interest as a point winner.

Form: 5148-84

Ard Chros²¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 117| D

14/1

Made all at Ayr (2m, heavy) in January but well beaten on his final 2 starts last term and needs to hit the ground running on return.

Form: PF1776-

Wolfcatcher^p,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 116

20/1

Fairly useful winning chaser for Ian Williams but has offered little in 2 runs back at Perth for new handler this term. Drops in trip.

Form: 2343-66

Ardera Cross^p²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: D R Fox| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 115| D

25/1

Arrives well out of sorts, well beaten again at Perth 3 weeks ago. All to prove.

Form: 3-39678

Halcyon Days^p²³⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Menzies| OR: 114| CD

14/1

Won this in 2018 and ran well on his last go over fences at Kelso in January. One to consider on return with yard having been in great form.

Form: 14/7P22-

Honourary Gift¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart| OR: 112| BF

15/2

Sedgefield bumper/novice hurdle winner who has made a fairly promising start over fences there this term, unseating rider eighth when going well last time. Interesting with Brian Hughes now up.

Form: 8914/2U

Valence D'Aumont²⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 111| D

10/1

Off the mark for this yard in 2m Sedgefield handicap chase when last seen. Still handily weighted if returning in the same sort of form.

Form: 35/64P1-

Larch Hill⁵⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 111| BF| D

11/2

Landed a gamble on his first run over fences at Market Rasen (17.2f) in April 2019 before a bad mistake 4 out did for him back there next time. Retains potential after 18 months off.

Form: 471713/

Millarville^p1⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: Mrs H O Graham| OR: 109

11/1

Irish point winner and dual hurdle winner for Oliver Sherwood. Well beaten completed start over fences for this yard but may have a bigger effort in her. Headgear goes on.

Form: 2U4-F86

Just Call Me Al²¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: G Boanas| OR: 107

9/2

Won 19f amateur riders' handicap hurdle at Catterick in December. Retains potential over fences on just his second go over them but might need a longer trip.

Form: F41392-

Divine Port^p,t²²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: Miss P Robson| OR: 103| CD

28/1

Successful in C&D event on yard debut here (2m) back in 2018. Lightly raced since but has dropped to a tempting mark ahead of first start for 7 months.

Form: 36/UB63-

Las Tunas^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith| OR: 100| D

12/1

Largely struggled for form last season after a good spell early in 2019. Should have come on for last month's Perth return and another who has fallen to a handy mark.

Form: 65644-9

Forecasts

Shetland Bus (7/2), Just Call Me Al (9/2), Larch Hill (11/2), Honourary Gift (15/2), Valence D'Aumont (10/1), Millarville (11/1), Las Tunas (12/1), Halcyon Days (14/1), Ard Chros (14/1), Wolfcatcher (20/1), Ardera Cross (25/1), Divine Port (28/1)

HONOURARY GIFT remains with a bigger effort in him over fences and could be the one to be on here with Brian Hughes up for the first time. Halcyon Days is a 3-time C&D winner who returns with his yard in good order, so he's an obvious player. Valence d'Aumont scored at Sedgefield when last seen and is still handily weighted if returning in the same mood.
