10/1

Returned with good efforts at Market Rasen and Stratford, but form has taken a turn for the worse since. At least made more of an impact off reduced mark when third in this headgear at Stratford.

Form: 3PPP53

High Noon^p²⁶³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 105| BF

Fair hurdler at best for Emma Lavelle and opened chase account over 2½m at Musselburgh in January. Good runner-up efforts both starts since and respected after 8 months off.

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Callum Bewley| T: S Waugh| OR: 100

Signs of decline last season and below par both starts this term, albeit building on return when fifth at Sedgefield. Change of headgear.

Form: 33P3-25

Adherence²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 100

22/1

Improved when getting off the mark at Taunton a year ago (21.7f). Let down by jumping on 2 of his next 4 starts that season and little impact at Exeter on return.

Fr Humphrey^t,v²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: Kielan Woods| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 96| D

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: R Johnson| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 90| C| D

7/1

Won 3m Wetherby novice handicap chase in the mud on Boxing Day off this mark but has struggled since, though might have needed comeback after 8 months off.

Form: 13P4P-5

Maasai Warrior¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: W T Kennedy| T: P Henderson| OR: 79

16/1

Pakie's Dream (6/4), The Manuscript (7/1), Linenhall (8/1), Picknick Park (10/1), Sigurd (10/1), More Buck's (10/1), Fr Humphrey (11/1), Maasai Warrior (16/1), Boric (22/1), Adherence (22/1), High Noon (28/1), Cairnshill (40/1), Pc Dixon (80/1)

PAKIE'S DREAM responded well to this headgear when comfortably making all in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh 10 days ago and can race off the same mark back over fences. High Noon did well for this yard last season and rates a threat if ready to go, with Picknick Park another to consider.
