11/10

Failed to fire last term but returned with more encouraging display when second at Huntingdon and duly built on that when winning with plenty in hand there 9 days ago. Obvious claims under a penalty.

Jumping Cats¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 97

10/1

Fairly useful on the Flat and has shaped with some encouragement over hurdles. May do better now handicapping.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 96

14/1

Best run in maiden/novice hurdles last season when fourth over 19f at Taunton in March. Shaped as if amiss on handicap bow/return at Fontwell but still early days. Change of headgear.

Form: 5P0P4-P

Carpool¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: T Scudamore| T: Evan Williams| OR: 94

25/1

Runner-up twice in maiden/novice company last year but hit-and-miss since switched to handicaps and record over hurdles stands at 0-13.

Three-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott earlier in his career, but yet to show any real spark for this yard.

Postie³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 93

28/1

Modest maiden on the Flat and opening mark over hurdles looks high enough.

Form: 57-5

Forecasts

Dollnamix (11/10), How's The Cricket (4/1), Et Apres Thou (11/2), Kilkeaskin Molly (8/1), Jumping Cats (10/1), Legende de Minuit (14/1), Kuiper Belt (16/1), Deputy Jones (20/1), Carpool (25/1), Postie (28/1), Jalingo (40/1), Parlour Maid (66/1)

Low-mileage 9-y-o DOLLNAMIX got off the mark in some style at Huntingdon and should prove hard to beat under a penalty. How's The Cricket has improved since switched to handicaps and is next best ahead of Legende de Minuit, who had possible excuses on his handicap debut/comeback at Fontwell.
