Spin The Coin^t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105

9/4

Good placed efforts on his last couple of completed starts, though having no excuses when third at Hereford on latest. Should be thereabouts but has little in hand.

Form: 6-462F3

Friary Gold⁸¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Ross| OR: 105| BF| D

50/1

Modest hurdler/chaser for Gavin Cromwell and below form over larger obstacles when last seen in September. Plenty to prove debuting for new yard.

Form: 4213P5

Oakmont^h,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: R D Day| T: James Moffatt| OR: 104

25/1

Yet to score in this sphere and already weakening when unseating in a handicap at Musselburgh 11 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 6/09-F9U

Cash Again^p1²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Alain Cawley| T: B Haslam| OR: 102| BF| C

5/1

Fair handicap chaser who has hit the frame the last twice and is capable of making an impact if he can reproduce that form back over hurdles. One to consider.

Form: 367/P24

Crack Du Ninian²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 100

5/2

Won sole start in Irish points and improved on previous efforts in this sphere when readily landing 2m handicap at Uttoxeter on return. Underperformed at Ayr subsequently, though.

Form: 8683-15

Burnage Boy³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Joe Colliver| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 99

40/1

Modest operator who was pulled on his handicap debut over hurdles and has struggled on the Flat since. Others preferred.

Form: 2725P-

Comber Mill^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Thompson| OR: 95| D

9/1

Not long with this stable and, with his reappearance behind him, took a step back in the right direction when fourth in C&D handicap last time. One to consider with tongue strap back on.

Form: 4P72-04

Get Help¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 94

13/2

Fair maiden hurdler who has made inauspicious start to chasing career but should benefit from the return to the smaller obstacles and isn't badly treated.

Form: 33P5-78

Getaway Jewel¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 93

33/1

Limited sign of ability to date, including when down the field in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen on debut for current stable. Easily passed over.

Form: 7-79009

Horst^h⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 92| DWS

20/1

Winning hurdler/chaser in France, but has struggled on the side of the Channel.

Form: 83P-P7P

GEORGE RIDSDALE was disappointing after landing a juvenile hurdle last winter but, having won three of his last four starts on the Flat, makes plenty of appeal returning to this sphere in a thin race. He's taken to get the better of the likes of Cash Again and Spin The Coin, who have been in reasonable form of late.
