My Painter¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Bethell| OR: 102| D

25/1

Sole win over jumps was gained in a maiden hurdle back in January 2016. Did run well back hurdling when second at Southwell in August but last couple of Flat runs disappointing.

Form: 64067/2

The Herds Garden²⁵⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 102| D

33/1

Notched third win in Kelso handicap in September last year and back on form when second of 8 in Catterick selling handicap in March. Much depends on whether he's primed for this first run since.

Form: 415592-

Detatched²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁷⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 100

4/1

Irish point winner who was much improved on his handicap debut when runner-up at Warwick in January. Hasn't managed to reproduce that since but he shaped as if better for run on C&D return last month.

Form: 85236-7

Remember The Man¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: N B King| OR: 99| D

9/2

Back to best when 4 lengths second over C&D 15 days ago. Unlikely to be too far away if showing up in similar form again.

Form: 4446-P2

Leeswood Lily^p1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 98

10/1

Bounced back to her best when runner-up over 2m at Ayr (heavy) last month on only her second handicap start. Cheekpieces added now. Respected for a stable which has been in reasonable form of late.

Form: 26-8572

Percy Prosecco^p1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽³⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 95| D

4/1

Hurdle winner for Noel Williams. Failed to fire on first hurdle start for this yard at Huntingdon in March but arrives on the back of some good Flat efforts in blinkers this autumn. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 44P7/65-

Bridey's Lettuce¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 93| CD

9/1

Opened his account in this sphere over C&D in July 2019. Good second back here 8 days later but not seen again until ninth of 13 over C&D 15 days ago.

Form: 2/4412-9

Mamdood^t⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 92

40/1

Modest Flat winner who ran best race to date over timber when second at Musselburgh in February. Mixed bag under both codes since, though.

Form: 8425-09

Watchman^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: W Featherstone| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 90

20/1

Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland for Andrew Oliver. Best effort over hurdles for new yard when fourth of 13 on C&D handicap 15 days ago but he'll need to step up a little on that to go close now.

Form: 7-764

Ex S'elance^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 85

16/1

Modest hurdler who didn't prove the easiest to catch right last term. Pulled up on Hexham return last month so has something to prove for now.

Form: 8P272-P

Topkapi Star^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 100| CD

5/1

Put some uninspiring Flat efforts behind her to make a winning hurdle debut in a weak race over C&D in August. Struggled under penalty in similar events since but more chance now handicapping.

Form: 145

Highland Bobby¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 84| D

14/1

Has tasted success just once from 20 starts in this sphere and it's probably best to look elsewhere for win purposes again.

Form: U06747

Bob's Girl^h⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 73

100/1

Poor Flat performer. No impact in maiden/novice events over hurdles but more realistic chance now handicapping from basement mark.

Form: 08-P0

Forecasts

Detatched (4/1), Percy Prosecco (4/1), Remember The Man (9/2), Sehayli (9/2), Topkapi Star (5/1), Bridey's Lettuce (9/1), Leeswood Lily (10/1), Legal Ok (10/1), Highland Bobby (14/1), Ex S'elance (16/1), Watchman (20/1), My Painter (25/1), The Herds Garden (33/1), Mamdood (40/1), Bob's Girl (100/1)

An open handicap. PERCY PROSECCO has performed well on the Flat with blinkers added on his last 2 starts and is taken to make a successful return to hurdles with cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. Sehayli will be a threat if reproducing the form he showed when scoring at Hereford earlier in the week. Remember The Man also makes the shortlist.
