Caspers Court²⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Joshua Newman⁽³⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 100WS

3/1

Irish point winner who showed some promise in maiden/novice hurdles but didn't kick on switched to handicaps in 2 starts last term. However, not one to write off returning on back of a wind op.

Form: 6037/8P-

Kiruna Peak³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Katie Sinclair⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 100| BF

22/1

Dual purpose performer who landed 2 of her last 3 starts over fences for Fergal O'Brien this summer.

Form: 7-44113

Katies Escape²⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Martin⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 98

12/1

Getaway filly who has seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind, not without promise in mares' novice hurdles at up to 21.3f last winter. Type to improve now handicapping.

Form: 8684-

Queen's Soldier^b1,t1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Dylan Kitts⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 90

14/1

Quirky performer on the Flat who has achieved only modest form over hurdles and arrives here having showed nothing in a pair of Flat starts in recent month. Blinkers/tongue tie reached for.

Form: 6500-0

Ishyaboi^p²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 87

8/1

Still without success but one of better efforts when fourth at Warwick (2m) last time, not really provided with enough of a test. This longer trip should suit and he's operating from career-low mark.

Form: 290-904

To Fly Free^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Martin McIntyre⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 102| BF

9/4

Fair Flat performer in France who ran up to best when 3 lengths third on handicap debut at Sedgefield (16.8f) last month. Has a very handy 3-y-o allowance and she may do better still.

Form: 323

Tango du Roy^t1²⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: David Prichard⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 83

40/1

Court Cave gelding who offered very little in bumper/4 hurdle starts for Evan Williams during 2017/18. Acquired for £4,500 thereafter but no impact in points since. Handicap debut.

Form: FU4P/4P-

Ali The Hunter^p,t⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽⁷⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 80

7/2

Successful from 7 lb higher at Wincanton in May 2019 but has been struggling for form since, making mid-race mistakes and unable to land a blow at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in September.

Form: 587P-67

Mi Laddo^t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁷⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 80

20/1

Poor maiden hurdler who continues to struggle, well beaten in seventh at Warwick (2m) in September.

Form: F0UP87

Windy Writer^p²⁶⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Huw Edwards⁽⁷⁾| T: M Young| OR: 71

66/1

Long-standing maiden under Rules and similar story between the Flags, again well held last time (Jan 26). Returns over hurdles for new yard.

Forecasts

To Fly Free (9/4), Caspers Court (3/1), Ali The Hunter (7/2), Ishyaboi (8/1), Katies Escape (12/1), Queen's Soldier (14/1), Mi Laddo (20/1), Kiruna Peak (22/1), Tango du Roy (40/1), Windy Writer (66/1)

TO FLY FREE has shown ability over hurdles, matching her previous best when third on handicap debut at Sedgefield last month. Again in receipt of her handy 3-y-o allowance, she's fancied to make a bold bid with further progress anticipated. Kiruna Peak was in good order over fences for her previous stable and is considered, along with Caspers Court and Ishyaboi.
