Off time: 14:50 | Winning time: 5m 24.48s

Sad Eyed Dylan^t⁵³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 106

33/1

Winning pointer and well handicapped on the pick of his chase form. Hasn't stood much racing though, and well held when last seen in May 2019.

Form: 13222/7-

At First Glance⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 104

11/4

Reportedly suffered an overreach on reappearance/handicap debut at Perth in August (finished fourth). In good hands and has a bigger performance in her.

Form: 73683-4

Barrys Jack²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: D A Jacob| T: B Ellison| OR: 103

7/2

Veteran who is winless since 2019 but given a chance by the handicapper and returned from a near 2-year lay-off with an excellent second at Carlisle a month ago.

Form: 6P543/2

Anightinlambourn²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: B Pauling| OR: 103

4/1

Got better with each of her 3 starts over hurdles last term, runner-up in mares' novice at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) in March. Shaped as though in need of the run on last month's handicap debut.

Form: 37/942-5

Ah Well¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: T Gallagher| OR: 101

17/2

Failed to go on from a mildly encouraging Rules debut last season and never a factor on reappearance, for all 2m was an insufficient teat at Fakenham.

Form: 33/B5-6

Ballymilan⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 100

8/1

More like it with a brace of in-frame efforts in maiden/novice company in August. Failed to improve for switch to handicaps at Hexham but it's still early days.

Form: PP-9436

Tarrona¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: A Phillips| OR: 97

14/1

Long-standing maiden who will find this easier than the novice he contested a fortnight ago but others still more persuasive.

Form: 27/7B-87

Agincourt Reef^v¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 93| CD

16/1

Well held sole start last season and failed to build on the promise of his reappearance run at Taunton 16 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 960/8-40

Wonderful Woman^t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 89

33/1

Well beaten in bumpers and has yet to achieve anything of note over hurdles. Handicap debut.

Form: 080/92-7

Alcock And Brown^p⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Dave Crosse| T: M F Harris| OR: 88| D

11/1

Ended last season badly out of sorts. May have needed the run at Market Rasen in September but still has a lot to prove.

Form: PP0P0-8

Tingo In The Tale^p¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁷⁾| T: A Forbes| OR: 82

40/1

Won twice at Uttoxeter during second half of 2019 and showed enough both hurdles starts back to think he's in reasonable nick. Well held on the AW here recently.

Form: 2510-74

Forecasts

At First Glance (11/4), Barrys Jack (7/2), Anightinlambourn (4/1), Ballymilan (8/1), Ah Well (17/2), Alcock And Brown (11/1), Tarrona (14/1), Agincourt Reef (16/1), Wonderful Woman (33/1), Sad Eyed Dylan (33/1), Tingo In The Tale (40/1)

BARRYS JACK hopefully won't 'bounce' 29 days on from his excellent runner-up effort on return from 22 months off at Carlisle as he's favourably handicapped left on the same mark. Ballymilan, At First Glance and Anightinlambourn are all unexposed sorts from good yards and head the dangers.
