Battletank²⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: J Groucott

Form: 02/90-

Bohemian Maestro^t⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

7/1

Improved from hurdling debut fitted with a tongue tie when fifth in 17-runner novice over C&D in September, but needs more.

Form: 4-5

Cider Kilt

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke

40/1

£22,000 3-y-o, Yeats gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful chaser The Black Baron, stayed 3m, and fairly useful chaser Imperial Dream. Market should offer up some clues.

Form:

Gumbo Flyer³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: P R Webber| BF

7/1

£20,000 buy from the family of smart chaser Domaine de L'isle. Has shown plenty to work on when placed in a pair of bumpers 8 months apart, so well worth considering now going hurdling up in trip.

Form: 2-3

Locallink³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead

50/1

Brother to very smart hurdler/useful chaser Summerville Boy. Won sole start in Irish points but sent off 33/1 and got no further than the first (unseated) on Bangor hurdle debut 3 days ago.

Form: 1-U

Lucky One^h1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 124

9/4

Runner-up both starts in France and shaped well back from a layoff on sole start for Willie Mullins in February. Proved too free on yard debut at Hereford but this will reveal more. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 22/4-7

Sing The Anthem⁵⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams

80/1

Eastern Anthem gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Brynmawr and fairly useful hurdler Too Generous, stayed 3m. Off mark in points at third attempt last time (May 2019).

Form: 42/1-

Top Drawer¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 115

11/1

Maiden Irish pointer who was seemingly much improved when ½-length second of 9 in C&D novice 15 days ago, though very much had the run of the race, so whether he backs that up remains to be seen.

Form: F43-P52

What About Time³⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: C E Longsdon

10/1

€48,000 3-y-o, £36,000 5-y-o, Oscar gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Timetoget and fair hurdler Benissimo, stays 21f. Dam bumper winner. Off mark in points at fifth attempt last time.

Form: 52321-

Yesandno⁶²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

18/1

Made little impact in 3 starts over hurdles for Alan King in 2018/19, so looks watched on this return to action for new yard after 20 months off.

Form: U30PP/

Buttsbury Lady⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| BF| C

2/1

From good family top yard knows well and she was impressive in making a winning start in a course bumper. Failed to settle under a conditional next time but should do better now hurdling.

Form: 15

Forecasts

Buttsbury Lady (2/1), Lucky One (9/4), Gumbo Flyer (7/1), Bohemian Maestro (7/1), What About Time (10/1), Top Drawer (11/1), Yesandno (18/1), Cider Kilt (40/1), Locallink (50/1), Sing The Anthem (80/1), Battletank (300/1)

LUCKY ONE proved too free on his yard debut at Hereford last month but his previous form marks him down as the one to beat still, so he's well worth another chance in a first-time hood, especially with his stable flying. Gumbo Flyer and Buttsbury Lady are a couple from the bumper sphere who merit consideration on this switch to hurdling.
