14/1

First run since leaving Graeme McPherson when good second of 12 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, good, 22/1) 108 days ago. Merits consideration off unchanged mark.

Form: F0748-2

Imperial Acolyte³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 102

13/2

12/1, fell second on chasing bow in handicap at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 39 days ago. Fair winning hurdler so worth another chance.

Form: 0/4878-F

Going Mobile^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 95

11/2

Still a maiden but posted good third of 10 in handicap chase (13/2) at Bangor (17.4f, soft) 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Has to be taken seriously now back up in trip for in-form yard.

Form: 762-3P3

Writteninthesand²⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 93

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Off 9 months but sort to do better over fences so respected debutant now tackling longer trip.

Form: 31/9P60-

Lough Legend²²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Henry Brooke| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 92

28/1

Yet to complete in three runs over fences, falling first in handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f, soft) when last seen out 7 months ago. Has plenty to prove on his return.

Form: 37/9PPF-

Veiled Secret^p,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: T Symonds| OR: 92| BF

5/1

Arrives in good form, set for third when unseating rider last in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Form: 326-43U

De Barley Basket^t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 92

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who arrives on back of good fourth in handicap at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 50 days ago. Goes over fences now and not ruled out.

Form: 1/503-54

Wye Aye^h²³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Colm McCormack⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 90

12/1

In decent form in handicap hurdles when last seen on track 7 months ago. Another chasing newcomer who has the potential to make a mark here.

Form: 046326-

Glorious Boru²²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: W Featherstone| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 89WS

33/1

Ended last season with poor effort when pulled up in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.

Form: 20362P-

Dont Tell The Wife²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 86

16/1

Modest hurdler who wasn't disgraced on return when eighth of 14 in handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 22 days ago. Needs bit more now going fencing.

Form: 0/P690-8

Hurricane Vic^b⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson| OR: 81

14/1

Remains a maiden after 20 runs but not discredited on reappearance when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, soft) 53 days ago. Blinkers back on now so shortlisted.

Form: 38332-4

Wahwonaisa⁶³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 80

14/1

Low-mileage 8-y-o who goes straight into handicap on chasing bow after 21-month absence. Fitness is clearly a big concern so others appeal more.

Form: U07036/

For Luck^p⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: B Pauling| OR: 77

12/1

Yet to make the frame in six runs over hurdles, though creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) last time. More needed now he tackles fences for the first time.

Form: 008-657

Forecasts

Veiled Secret (5/1), Going Mobile (11/2), Writteninthesand (11/2), Imperial Acolyte (13/2), De Barley Basket (9/1), Coby Nine (10/1), Wye Aye (12/1), For Luck (12/1), Hurricane Vic (14/1), Wahwonaisa (14/1), Torquay (14/1), Dont Tell The Wife (16/1), Lough Legend (28/1), Glorious Boru (33/1)

Lots with chances but GOING MOBILE looks worth siding with now that he steps up in trip having stayed on well for third over 17f at Bangor last time. Torquay made a good start to life with Richard Hawker when runner-up at Southwell so is greatly respected, while Veiled Secret and chasing-newcomers Writteninthesand and Wye Aye are all worth considering too in an open handicap.
