Innisfree Lad¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: T Symonds| OR: 104| CD

4/1

Went the wrong way over fences last term but made a successful reappearance/stable debut returned to hurdles over this C&D 3 weeks ago, albeit he was fortunate. Up 4 lb.

Form: 82459-1

Hattaab^b¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 104

17/2

Worcester maiden hurdle winner last September and cast aside a trio of heavy defeats when runner-up in a change of headgear at Wincanton 17 days ago. Task is to now back that up.

Form: 337P82

Felix D'autry⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Kai Lenihan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Sherwood| OR: 103

17/2

Quiet start over hurdles having finished runner-up in a bumper but much more like it when third of 12 on handicap debut at Fontwell in August. Up in trip and likely has more to offer.

Form: 2859-3

Shantou Sunset⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 103

15/2

Bumper winner who showed improved form to get off the mark in Market Rasen handicap (20.5f) in July. Excellent third at Newton Abbot upped to 26.5f last time, for all she didn't look straightforward.

Form: F0-P143

Mamoo^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 102| D

14/1

Pair of Catterick handicap hurdle wins over this trip last winter. Promise in a couple of chase outings in recent months and his mark is workable back over timber.

Form: 1217-75

Pens Man³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 102| BF

5/1

Stepped up on last season's efforts in maiden/novice company when second on return/handicap debut at Fontwell (21.8f) in August. Never looked like justifying support in a tongue tie latest.

Form: 4778-20

Kiwayu^t²³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: R D Day| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 101

50/1

Landed couple of handicaps at back in summer 2018, though missed all of 2019 and no show both starts at Doncaster during the start of this year.

Form: 0121/P0-

Dorado Dollar⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Bryan Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 84

5/1

Modest maiden who plugged on by beaten rivals when third in a big-field handicap at Warwick last month. Same mark here.

Form: 066P-43

Mr Magill^t²⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 83

22/1

Won off 1 lb higher at Wincanton last year. Back to that sort of form when third at Taunton in January abut record fresh suggests he may need this.

Form: 0/99373-

Inexorable^b¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 82

80/1

In frame twice in bumpers but no promise over hurdles so far. Is at least back on his correct mark this time.

Form: 00-8P06

Hoot At Midnight^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 81

9/1

Showed more than previously when fourth on handicap debut at Plumpton last month. That race has worked out quite well so she can be a factor if stamina holds up in trip.

Form: 90004-4

Dorette³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: James Davies| T: C N Kellett| OR: 80

16/1

Bumper winner for Olly Murphy in 2018 and looked set to open her account at Uttoxeter a month ago, hitting the front when falling at the last. Raised 6 lb but could still be well treated.

Form: P86F-3F

Flashdanza^b⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 78

40/1

Maiden who finished third on reappearance in August but went backwards from that effort at Plumpton a month later.

Form: 8/5PP-30

Kalabee^b1³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁷⁾| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 76

Well held in bumpers/over hurdles so far.

Minella Style^p,t³²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 74

80/1

Fair form over hurdles for Neil King but that was back in 2017 and he's shown nothing for a while. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 7U00/PP-

Simply Lucky^p,t⁶⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 69

Forecasts

Innisfree Lad (4/1), Dorado Dollar (5/1), Pens Man (5/1), Shantou Sunset (15/2), Hattaab (17/2), Felix D'autry (17/2), Hoot At Midnight (9/1), Mamoo (14/1), Dorette (16/1), Kalabee (18/1), Mr Magill (22/1), Flashdanza (40/1), Kiwayu (50/1), Minella Style (80/1), Simply Lucky (80/1), Inexorable (80/1), Strategic (100/1)

DORETTE looked to have been produced to perfection at Uttoxeter last month, only to fall at the final flight when hitting the front. He's been raised 6 lb for that luckless exit, but that race is working out so compensation may well await. Conversely, Innisfree Lad was a fortunate winner over C&D last time but may have more to offer for his new yard and is feared most.
