She'sasupermack²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 130| CD

5/2

Successful hurdler who carried good form over to fences, scoring over C&D on final run last season. Good runner-up efforts at Ayr and Huntingdon both starts this term and should be in the mix again.

Form: 3221-22

Protek Des Flos²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Alain Cawley| T: B Haslam| OR: 129

11/4

Matched winning hurdles form for Nicky Henderson when landing 17.1f Kelso handicap chase in February. Not at best both starts this season but now only 1 lb above winning mark.

Form: 3/331-45

Catamaran Du Seuil^b³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 128

7/2

Useful winning chaser but looked rusty and/or reluctant after 10 months off (has raced lazily before) at Ffos Las. Others more solid.

Form: P/7342-3

Knockoura^t³⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 127| D

10/1

Lightly-raced hurdler who has improved since sent over fences and made it 2 from 2 in handicaps with plenty to spare at Bangor a year ago. However, shaped as if amiss following month and off since.

Form: 8/2211P-

Ballyhill²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 127| D

9/2

Very useful when on-song, particularly over fences, but offered little last season and hasn't fared any better back over hurdles this term.

Form: 66P-506

I Just Know²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 119

22/1

Useful chaser at best but lost his form last season. Signs of a revival on return but failed to build on that next time.

Form: 0PP7-96

Forecasts

She'sasupermack (5/2), Protek Des Flos (11/4), Catamaran Du Seuil (7/2), Ballyhill (9/2), Knockoura (10/1), I Just Know (22/1)

PROTEK DES FLOS has been below par both starts this season but he's back down in class here and is only 1 lb above his last winning mark, so is worth another chance. The in-form She'sasupermack is the obvious threat, with the others having something to prove for one reason or another.
