Ferrobin^p⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: H Cobden| T: M Young| OR: 120| BF

3/1

Fairly useful hurdler who landed 2m Market Rasen selling handicap in December and still seemed in good order when runner-up in a jumpers' bumper at Lingfield 5 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 125212

Paricolor^b,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 124| C

4/1

Completed quick hat-trick in selling hurdles at Taunton (16.5f) last month before finding it tougher back in handicap company at Fakenham last time. Obvious player back down in grade.

Form: 651115

Goodbye Dancer^p1,t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 120| CD

15/8

Fairly useful hurdler who hasn't been at his his peak this season but this provides an easier assignment and first-time cheekpieces could have a positive effect.

Form: 0-66077

Mizen Master^p,t¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 116| D

7/2

Modest Flat performer who is better in this sphere and ran creditably when third to Ferrobin in selling handicap at Market Rasen 14 days ago. Not discounted back up in trip.

Form: 5151/23

Sir Warrior⁶⁸⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Bargary| T: M Gates

150/1

Mawjud gelding. Dam, pulled up in 2 points, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (17f-19f hurdle/chase winner in France) Fish Night. Failed to complete in 4 starts in points (pulled up latest, Feb 2019

Form: PFUP/

Sparrow Hall⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: Mrs C A Dunnett

300/1

Hard to make any sort of case for having shown nothing at Huntingdon on hurdling debut.

Form: P

Templepoint⁶²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: T D Easterby

80/1

Looked limited for Nigel Twiston-Davies in 2017 but has won a point (in 2019) since, so not a forlorn hope returning to Rules.

Form: 22PU4/1-

Wicked Willy^t⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Savage⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 119| D

11/1

Largely underwhelming efforts in handful of starts last season and no great encouragement so far this term. Others are more appealing.

Form: 5867-P3

Forecasts

Goodbye Dancer (15/8), Ferrobin (3/1), Mizen Master (7/2), Paricolor (4/1), Wicked Willy (11/1), Templepoint (80/1), Sir Warrior (150/1), Sparrow Hall (300/1)

PARICOLOR struggled in a handicap off 125 last time but he'd completed a quick hat-trick at this level previously, so there's a good chance he can resume winning ways returned to calmer waters. Goodbye Dancer hasn't been in top form of late but could have too much class if the blinkers perk him up, so he's a reasonable alternative.
