Another Crick⁶⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: Noel Williams| OR: 110| D

7/1

A chaser going places when last seen in early 2019, winning handicaps at Newbury and Kempton. Off 21 months ahead of this return to hurdling and market likely to prove the best guide.

Big Data²⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: K Bishop

100/1

Showed ability amidst greenness both starts in bumpers but has made little impact in a brace of Ludlow maiden hurdles.

Form: 4/250-

Bold Pimpernel^h⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon

200/1

Placed both starts in points, but showed nothing in a hood in a Lingfield maiden hurdle on Rules debut in October.

Form: P/23-0

Cafe Pushkin¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

10/1

Showed ability when fourth of 11 in a Wincanton novice hurdle (21.4f) on debut 19 days ago, despite looking quite badly in need of the experience. Entitled to do better.

Form: 4

Lord Of Kerak³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 122

5/6

Good pedigree and has found only a pair of useful prospects too good on both his starts over hurdles at 2m. May do better now up in trip and well up to winning a race of this nature.

Form: 22

Nickoboy²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: T Lawes

80/1

Looked one for the longer term when safely held in a novice hurdle at Lingfield on debut last month.

Form: 8

Oneupmanship⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: Jack Barber

2/1

Showed fair form in bumpers, well-held third to a good prospect at Wincanton final outing. Had a wind operation prior to a very encouraging hurdling debut at Newton Abbot. Likely to improve.

Form: 243-2

Bangers And Cash³²

Forecasts

Lord Of Kerak (5/6), Oneupmanship (2/1), Poldark Cross (9/2), Another Crick (7/1), Cafe Pushkin (10/1), Bangers And Cash (16/1), Nickoboy (80/1), Big Data (100/1), Bold Pimpernel (200/1)

ONEUPMANSHIP was no match for Metier at Newton Abbot, but he pulled miles clear of the rest and looks up to winning races over hurdles on that evidence. Lord of Kerak also boasts solid form, so is an obvious threat.
