Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: T J O'Brien| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106

Useful winner on Flat but yet to score in this sphere and never got involved on return at Taunton 13 days ago.

Form: 338-6

Spin The Coin^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105| D

8/1

Good second at Kelso (18.1f) last month and yet to be asked for effort when coming down 2 out at same course since. Can make presence felt.

Form: P6-462F

Durouyn²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: J McGrath| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 104| D

Head Lad¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 99

13/2

First run back with former yard when creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good) 13 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds strong claims.

Form: 7/5418-3

Midnight Aurora¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 97

28/1

Equipped with first-time cheekpieces when landing a 25f Huntingdon handicap 13 months ago. However, ran badly on first start since at Uttoxeter 11 days ago and has plenty to prove now.

Form: 68001-0

Numero Uno²⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 96

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden who posted best effort in this sphere when third on handicap debut at Musselburgh (15.6f, heavy) in February. May do better this term but others appear better treated.

Form: 5953-

Throckley^t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 95| D

15/2

Not the most consistent and makes limited appeal on back of latest effort at Ludlow.

Form: U5-6826

To Fly Free^p,t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 104| D

5/2

Off the mark for David Pipe when landing 9-runner juvenile hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago, driven out. Fairly treated, returned to handicapping, and must enter calculations.

Form: 32331

Sadma²⁸⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Dave Crosse| T: N Lampard| OR: 86| BF| CD

25/1

Landed this event 12 months ago but below form when last seen at Plumpton in January and may well need this.

Form: 671233-

Gates Pass^h,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: R T Dunne| T: B Barr| OR: 85

16/1

Maiden on Flat and over hurdles. Failed to build on promise of previous effort in this sphere when sixth at Newton Abbot in September but may be capable of better yet.

Form: 090-36

Sehayli^t⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Farrelly| OR: 77

10/1

Modest at best over hurdles and offered little on return at Southwell in August. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 06/6P8-9

Martha's Dream³⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: Miss Sarah Robinson| OR: 72

200/1

No impact in 3 starts to date and best watched on return from 12 months off. 7 lb out of the weights on handicap debut.

Forecasts

To Fly Free (5/2), Winds Of Fire (16/5), Head Lad (13/2), Throckley (15/2), Spin The Coin (8/1), Sehayli (10/1), Durouyn (12/1), Gates Pass (16/1), Sadma (25/1), Lester Kris (25/1), Midnight Aurora (28/1), Numero Uno (40/1), Martha's Dream (200/1)

HEAD LAD caught the eye on his first start back with Jonjo O'Neill at Taunton last month and can land the finale. To Fly Free and Spin The Coin look the likeliest dangers.
