Perfect Man^b,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum McKinnes⁽⁸⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 134

5/1

Improved model last term, making it 2 wins from 3 starts at Kelso in January. Made a discouraging chasing debut after 8 months off at Hexham last month and switches back over timber in blinkers.

Form: 3/1516-4

Mr Caffrey^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁶⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 119| D

9/4

Successful at second attempt over fences at Bangor last year. Didn't need to be at best when landing selling event back over hurdles at Taunton 3 weeks ago and should go well again under same rider.

Form: 5-59331

Niblawi¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 123| D

5/2

Useful handicapper on Flat who scored after over a year off at Fakenham back in March 2019. Fit from a spin on the all-weather (very much having the run of things from the front) so not discounted.

Sakhee's City^b1¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁸⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 127| D

3/1

Scored at Wetherby around this time last year but seems to retain little enthusiasm after a pair of lacklustre efforts there this term. Drops markedly in grade and the blinkers go on.

Form: 152P-05

Wicked Willy^t³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Savage⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 122| D

10/1

Largely underwhelming efforts in handful of starts last season, typically not fluent when pulled up in handicap chase (3/1) at Fakenham (21.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Switches back over timber.

Form: 7/5867-P

Stoneford^p,t⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Sara Ender| OR: 110

150/1

Pulled up on all 3 starts since leaving Noel Meade, going as if amiss on first outing for this yard after 11 months off at Carlisle in October. Readily passed over.

Form: F47PP-P

Forecasts

Mr Caffrey (9/4), Niblawi (5/2), Paricolor (5/2), Sakhee's City (3/1), Perfect Man (5/1), Wicked Willy (10/1), Stoneford (150/1)

A few in with chances but preference is for PERFECT MAN, who made a discouraging return on his chasing bow at Hexham just over a fortnight ago but should make more of an impact back over timber with blinkers replacing the usual cheekpieces. Mr Caffrey scored in a similar event at Taunton 3 weeks ago so narrowly gets the nod for second, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Paricolor.
