Sandy Boy^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 120

5/1

Irresolute hurdler but took surprisingly well to chasing when second in a handicap at Taunton 16 days ago, so definite claims if he can build on that, which isn't assured.

Form: 89-P242

Billy Bronco^b1³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Charlie Hammond⁽³⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 117

12/1

Patchy record for Evan Williams and failed to beat a rival on debut for new yard at Warwick in November. Needs blinkers to perk him up.

Form: 4/61PP-7

Jabulani²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jordan Nailor| T: S Thomas| OR: 117

18/5

Fair hurdler for Nigel Twiston-Davies and proved he retains plenty of ability when third in a handicap chase on debut for in-form stable at Southwell last month. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 55213/3

Innisfree Lad²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: T Symonds| OR: 110| BF| D

2/1

Revitalised for Tom Symonds (and David Dennis) this term, scoring twice over hurdles before completing a hat-trick in handicap chase at Stratford. Only third last time but could get back on the up.

Form: 59-1113

Perform^p,t¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 109

100/1

Useful hurdler/chaser at his best for Philip Hobbs but obviously had his problems and yet to offer any encouragement for current stable.

Form: 33P/P-6P

Mr Palmtree^b1,t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 104| BF| CD

11/2

Improved model over fences this season, landing handicaps at Huntingdon and over C&D. Too much to do when fourth at Ludlow 19 days ago, so still very much of interest.

Form: 23-7114

Brigadier Bob^p³⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: R Patrick⁽³⁾| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 102| CD

9/2

Dual winner last season, including over C&D and, while not seen for a year, he's likely to be tuned up and has been dropped 3 lb despite a respectable third when last seen. Not ruled out.

Forecasts

Innisfree Lad (2/1), Jabulani (18/5), Brigadier Bob (9/2), Sandy Boy (5/1), Elan De Balme (5/1), Mr Palmtree (11/2), Billy Bronco (12/1), Perform (100/1)

INNISFREE LAD has been given a break and can resume winning ways back over fences. Mr Palmtree is a big danger, while there is another race in Jabulani for his in-form stable.
