Off time: 14:00 | Winning time: 4m 1.02s

Milreu Has²⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

9/2

Little impact in trio of starts over hurdles last season, but he's in good hands and very much appeals as the type to raise his game now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 6P9-

Remember The Man¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 98| D

15/2

Seemingly improved when fourth of 12 in Warwick handicap (19f) last November, but hasn't matched that form since and pulled up on return at Hereford.

Form: 54446-P

Midnight Aurora³⁹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 98| C

20/1

Equipped with first-time cheekpieces when landing a 25f Huntingdon handicap off this mark last October. However, absent since and this significant drop in trip is of dubious benefit.

Form: 168001-

Commander Miller³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs D O'Neill| OR: 96

5/1

Put low-key reappearance firmly behind him when runner-up on second run for this yard at Warwick (2m) last month. Up 6 lb for that, but needs considering all the same.

Form: 6F2P-02

Bridey's Lettuce⁴⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 95| BF| CD

9/1

Opened his account in this sphere at Uttoxeter in July 2019, and ran to a similar level when second back there 8 days later. Claims if fit enough to do himself justice back from a 15-month absence.

Form: P2/4412-

Crack Du Ninian²²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 94

9/2

Won sole start in Irish points and improved on previous efforts in this sphere when third on handicap debut at Catterick (17f) when last seen in March. 2 lb lower now and should have more to offer.

Form: 1/78683-

Eurkash^h²⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Webber| OR: 94

7/1

Glimmers of ability in this sphere, but failed to raise his game when switched to handicaps on final 2 starts of last season.

Form: 9/74486-

High Grounds²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 94

50/1

Useful Flat winner in 2016, but well held all 4 starts over hurdles and big step forward needed that he ventures down the handicap route. Yard also saddles Light Flicker.

Form: 80/P-8

Light Flicker²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: David England| T: R Potter| OR: 91

11/1

Point winner last November, but hasn't shown much under Rules and, like stablemate High Grounds, he's readily passed over.

Form: 22F1/3-9

Watchman^t⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: James Nixon⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 91WS

50/1

Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland for Andrew Oliver, but no impact in trio of novice events in this sphere and sizeable step forward needed now on handicap debut.

Form: 7-76

Minella Fiveo²³⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Bailey Sagar⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 90| CD

22/1

Winner of back-to-back Market Rasen handicaps during 2018/19 campaign. However, well below par last season and revival needed back from a 7-month break.

Form: 884854-

The Girl That Sang^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Sean Conway| OR: 89

12/1

Irish import who showed a bit more on second start for this yard when fourth at Kelso (16.2f) last time. 3 lb lower now and she's not without each-way hope.

Form: 477764

Cape Fair^t⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 89

66/1

Went close in a Bangor handicap in June 2019, but that is very much a standout effort and she was well held over C&D last time.

Form: 623-060

Top Beak⁷⁰

Weight: 11-12| Age: 7

T: M Young J: James Best

Yaazaain⁷⁴

Forecasts

Crack Du Ninian (9/2), Milreu Has (9/2), Commander Miller (5/1), Eurkash (7/1), Remember The Man (15/2), Bridey's Lettuce (9/1), Light Flicker (11/1), The Girl That Sang (12/1), Yaazaain (14/1), Midnight Aurora (20/1), Manor Park (20/1), Minella Fiveo (22/1), Top Beak (25/1), Watchman (50/1), High Grounds (50/1), Cape Fair (66/1)

The two that standout on account of potential are MILREU HAS and Crack du Ninian. Preference is for the former, who represents a yard in terrific nick and can be expected to leave his form in maiden/novice hurdles well behind now switched to a handicap. Commander Miller also enters calculations.
