Full Of Surprises²³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120| D

6/1

Ran out an impressive winner on hurdling bow at Catterick (15.7f) in December. Disappointed both starts thereafter but warrants respect on return here.

Maskada^h1²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 115| D

9/2

Placed in bumpers and made a successful debut over hurdles in Warwick juvenile last December. Limitations exposed thereafter and no signs of improvement on return at Chepstow.

Form: 31467-7

Cotton End²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 115| C| D

11/4

Been in fine form of late, winning 3 of her last 4 starts, latest in emphatic style at this course (19.7f, good) 20 days ago. 11 lb higher now but looks sure to go well again.

Form: 351511

Darlyn²⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 113| D

14/1

Boasts fine strike rate over timber, winning 5 times from 13 outings. Running creditably when falling at Sedgefield when last seen 8 months ago and could play a part on her return.

Form: 1/3151F-

Fair Kate^t²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 112| D

6/1

Confirmed previous promise to get off the mark at Newbury (16.3f) in December. Back on track when runner-up at Taunton (16.5f) at March and must enter calculations first time up here.

Form: 72/7162-

Powerful Society⁴⁹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: M Young| OR: 106| BF

80/1

Dual Flat winner but still without a victory over hurdles and went amiss on sole outing for Paul Nicholls last year. Best watched on return for new connections here.

Form: 32322/P-

Lex Eleven³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 103

4/1

Just modest form, at best, thus far over hurdles, latest when fourth of 12 in novice event at Bangor (19.6f) 33 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping, though.

Form: 2867-4

Admiral's Sunset^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: David Bass| T: D Weston| OR: 102| CD

15/2

Largely kept to chasing since taking a 3-runner handicap over C&D 2 years ago and makes limited appeal.

Form: 4-34325

Forecasts

Cotton End (11/4), Lex Eleven (4/1), Maskada (9/2), Full Of Surprises (6/1), Fair Kate (6/1), Admiral's Sunset (15/2), Darlyn (14/1), Powerful Society (80/1)

Marginal preference is for FAIR KATE, who is still low-mileage and returns off a handy mark. The hat-trick seeking Cotton End is much respected, despite the handicapper having had his say since her last success, whilst Full of Surprises could also make her presence felt.
