The Twisler^p⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 111| D

11/4

Scored twice during 2018/19 campaign and dispelled handful of lesser efforts at Doncaster in December. Shaped as if better for the run on reappearance and remains on a workable mark in this sphere.

Form: 66725-5

Skeaping^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: K Brogan⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Middleton| OR: 110| CD

11/4

Four-time winner in 2019, but failed to fire on return at Stratford and possibly still needed the run when well beaten at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Won this race last year and the cheekpieces go back on.

Form: 3233-66

Kapdad⁶⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Tom Cheesman| T: G & J Moore| OR: 108

9/2

Placed in 3 juvenile hurdles in 2018 and test of speed over 2m at Plumpton prevented him from opening his account 8 months later. Well held both starts since and returns from 22 months off the track.

Raashdy^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 108| D

6/1

Ran better than for a while but still a fair way below his best when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso 12 days ago. Needs keeping an eye on in the betting for shrewd stable.

Form: 375-P85

Tahan¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 103

7/2

Made a positive start for new yard when second of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (AW) 10 days ago. Switches back over timber and has to be taken seriously on first start in this sphere for over a year.

Form: 8/94P-

Inexorable^b⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Alexander Thorne| T: Olly Williams| OR: 82WS

40/1

In frame twice in bumpers but no promise over hurdles, looking no easy ride in first-time blinkers at Market Rasen when last seen 2 months ago. Makes no appeal from well out of the handicap.

Form: 600-8P0

Forecasts

Doux Pretender (7/4), The Twisler (11/4), Skeaping (11/4), Tahan (7/2), Kapdad (9/2), Raashdy (6/1), Linguine (25/1), Inexorable (40/1), Kilcaragh Boy (100/1)

Olly Murphy enjoys plenty of success here and his TAHAN shaped with plenty of promise on his first start on these shores when runner-up at Lingfield 10 days ago. That should've blown away any cobwebs, and he's taken to make his first start over timber since June last year a winning one. The Twisler heads up the dangers, ahead of Raashdy.
