Percy Street^b,t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 112| C

5/1

Latest success came here off 2 lb higher mark but that was back in May 2018. Mixed bang in this sphere and over fences since, and there are more appealing propositions on show here.

Get The Appeal²⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 111| C

9/2

Landed the odds on Rules debut here (15.3f, good) last November. Disappointing both subsequent starts but it's too soon to write this 6-y-o off, particularly now that she goes down the handicap route.

Form: 2D/176-

Double Court⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 109

18/1

Back to best when landing 20.5f Southwell handicap hurdle from the front on return in August. Not seen to best effect over fences since and worth considering back in this sphere.

Form: 124P-17

Tea Time Fred^p¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 105

66/1

Won 3 on the bounce between August and October in 2019 but form has nosedived badly since.

Form: 6PPP-60

Ben Buie^p1⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 103

20/1

Not as headstrong as he was on his reappearance when fourth in 7-runner Sedgefield novice (19.8f, good) last month. However, further progress needed with cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap bow.

Form: 60/83-64

Flintrock^b⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: N B King| OR: 103

12/1

Hard to catch right and while he would have claims judged on Uttoxeter second in August, his latest effort at the same course left much to be desired.

Form: 75-5020

Stubborn Logic^p1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 102| D

8/1

Off the mark in Market Rasen novice handicap for Dr Richard Newland last summer. Well held first run since/debut for new yard at Plumpton 25 days ago and now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 49/F21-7

Etat Major Aulmes⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁷⁾| T: O Signy| OR: 102

7/2

Made winning handicap bow on return at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in July but unable to control things as easily in tougher race at Southwell next time. Still lightly-raced and could bounce back here.

Form: 688U-13

Hattaab^b1²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 102

8/1

Rather in-and-out in various race-types since landing a Worcester maiden hurdle last September. Hopes pinned on first-time blinkers helping to trigger a return to form.

Form: 5-337P8

Harbour Force^v²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 101| CD

22/1

Decisive enough winner at Perth in July but has failed to fire in 2 subsequent starts, well beaten after making a bad mistake 4 out back at Perth last time. Others preferred.

Form: 354-148

Hahadi^v1²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 80

17/2

Point winner who remains a maiden following 15 runs under Rules. However. wasn't entirely disgraced at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) last time and place possibilities if responding well to first-time visor.

Form: 585-3P6

Forecasts

Etat Major Aulmes (7/2), Get The Appeal (9/2), Percy Street (5/1), Hattaab (8/1), Stubborn Logic (8/1), Hahadi (17/2), Flintrock (12/1), Can You Believe It (12/1), Jennys Day (16/1), Realta Dawn (16/1), Double Court (18/1), Ben Buie (20/1), Harbour Force (22/1), Tea Time Fred (66/1)

Now pitched into a handicap off what looks a feasible opening mark, GET THE APPEAL may well get her career back on track. She proved disappointing after making a winning Rules debut here last winter, but she couldn't be in better hands and this is a very winnable race. Jennys Day will be a threat off this mark if back to something like his best, while Etat Major Aulmes also merits respect.
