Twasn't The Plan^h,t⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: R Johnson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 110

85/40

Runner-up first 4 starts over fences in 2019, and again hit the crossbar back from a break at Southwell (20.4f) in August. Remains on a feasible mark and should make his presence felt.

Form: 26466-2

Rococo River⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 110| BF| CD

9/4

Didn't kick on from hurdles success here in May 2019 and while he performed with credit on second chase start at Bangor in July, his latest effort left much to be desired.

Form: 2F87-34

Fresh New Dawn^t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr James King⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 109| BF

6/1

Winning hurdler who was runner-up on first completion over fences at Kelso (21.6f), a race he may have won but for clouting the final 2 fences. 1 lb lower now and big chance if avoiding mistakes here.

Form: 36-6UU2

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: W S Kittow| OR: 102

33/1

No real impact over hurdles last season and beaten a long way starting out in this sphere at Newton Abbot last month. Now tried in a visor.

Form: 5005P-0

Troed Y Melin²⁷⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: C Honour| OR: 95

9/2

Point winner who found just one too good on each of his 2 completed starts over fences for Jimmy Frost last term. Has rejoined former yard and claims if ready to roll following a 9-month absence.

Forecasts

Twasn't The Plan (85/40), Rococo River (9/4), Troed Y Melin (9/2), Fresh New Dawn (6/1), Who Shot Jr (7/1), Howaboutrightnow (33/1)

Late mistakes ultimately proved costly for FRESH NEW DAWN at Kelso where he shaped as though ahead of his mark for much of the way. The 8-y-o is 1 lb lower now and will have every chance of going one better if producing a more sure-footed round of jumping this time. Troed Y Melin lacks a recent run but will be a threat if fully tuned-up following a break, while Twasn't The Plan also has claims.
