Tudors Treasure³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens| OR: 102| CD

13/2

Third C&D success when seeing off 6 rivals on heavy ground in March. Pulled up on his Ffos Las return 39 days but better can be expected back at this venue.

Form: 1/2241-P

Tanrudy⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 12-6| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 101

9/1

6/1, running creditably when fell in handicap chase at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in October. Given a bit of time to get over that and return to a longer trip now a help. Claims.

Form: P35-35F

Agincourt Reef^p³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Bannister| T: R A Teal| OR: 90| D

20/1

Well held sole start last season and has gone backwards from his reappearance this time round. Remains to be seen if a return to fences for the first time in over 3 years improves matters.

Form: 60/8-409

Clondaw's Answer^t²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: M G Nolan| T: K Woollacott| OR: 90

12/1

Well held in maiden/novice hurdles in 2018/19. 28/1, fell sixth on Ffos Las chase debut/return 29 days ago. Tough to assess at present.

Form: 10005/F

Get Wishing^p,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 89

11/2

Modest hurdler who showed some aptitude for chasing when fourth in a handicap at Bangor on reappearance but pulled up at Uttoxeter since.

Form: 4/448-4P

Blue Monday¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 86| BF

9/2

Progressive at a low level last winter, winning twice in the mud. Fell heavily on Perth return, though, and ran as if amiss at Leicester 10 weeks later. Hard to know what form he's in.

Form: 4131-FP

All Kings²¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R H Buckler| OR: 83

22/1

Still a maiden following 23 attempts under Rules and also a maiden pointer. Finished a remote fifth at Taunton last time and others preferred for win purposes again.

Form: 75/3U-P5

Lermoos Legend³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 79

8/1

Glimmer of promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers but little to shout about since, including in handicap chases last twice.

Form: 3P9-305

Indian Harbour^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 79

9/2

Maiden but has shown he can be competitive off this sort of mark when reaching the frame in handicap chases on his last 2 starts.

Form: 4-36634

Rock On Aussie^p,t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-9| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 76

14/1

Maiden who is becoming well handicapped but he seems to be going through the motions at present.

Form: 660858

Kingston Mimosa^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: James Davies| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 76| D

25/1

Twice a winner from lowly marks last winter but it's hard to derive much encouragement from his 2 runs this term.

Form: 6914-P7

Gorcombe's Rascal^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 74

80/1

Little to show for his 4 starts over hurdles and tenth of 11 on his completed start over fences last month. Bogoss du Perret looks very much yard first string.

Form: P007-P0

Paddocks Lounge¹⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 10-7| J: W T Kennedy| T: C Ellam| OR: 74| C

40/1

Fair winning hurdler but now firmly at the veteran stage and pulled up in Market Rasen handicap chase on recent return from 22-month absence.

Form: 34555/P

Monty Massini^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 59

33/1

Remains a maiden after 16 runs. 80/1 and cheekpieces on first time, first run since leaving Sarah Robinson when distant fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (3m) 18 days ago.

Form: 4PPPP-4

Forecasts

Bogoss Du Perret (6/4), Indian Harbour (9/2), Blue Monday (9/2), Get Wishing (11/2), Tudors Treasure (13/2), Lermoos Legend (8/1), Tanrudy (9/1), Clondaw's Answer (12/1), Rock On Aussie (14/1), Agincourt Reef (20/1), All Kings (22/1), Kingston Mimosa (25/1), Monty Massini (33/1), Paddocks Lounge (40/1), Gorcombe's Rascal (80/1)

TUDORS TREASURE is 3-3 over C&D so is perhaps worth chancing to leave his reappearance at Ffos Las behind and return to winning ways. Bogoss du Perret made a successful return to fences on good ground at Stratford in October and will be a big threat if as effective under these much softer conditions. Tanrudy will be suited by the step back up in trip and also makes the shortlist.
