5/2

Looked a good staying prospect when making second hurdles start a winning one in 10-runner novice at Newbury in February. Had a wind op ahead of return but failed to give his running. Headgear on.

Likeable sort who added to sole hurdles success over fences at Uttoxeter (20f) a year ago. Given a considerate ride on reappearance and is expected to step up on that.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 122WS

14/1

Well prepared to make a winning hurdles debut on the back of an absence in November 2019. Promise first 2 starts back in the autumn but heavily eased when last seen. Has had a wind op.

Form: 8/16-430

Jabulani^p1⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: S Thomas| OR: 120

5/1

Fair hurdler for Nigel Twiston-Davies and proved he retains plenty of ability when third in handicap chase on debut for current yard in November. Jumping failed the test latest, Cheekpieces on.

Form: 5213/3P

Kk Lexion⁶²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 115| CD

25/1

Missed whole of last term, but signs that at least some ability remains intact when sixth in a 15-runner Chepstow handicap on reappearance in October. Failed to build on that at Catterick.

Forecasts

Brinkley (5/2), Global Fame (5/2), Buckhorn George (11/4), Neachells Bridge (10/3), Jabulani (5/1), And The New (8/1), Ashfield Paddy (11/1), Summer Name (14/1), Ruacana (20/1), Kk Lexion (25/1)

AND THE NEW shaped quite well in a better race than this at Cheltenham last month, and with this drop back in trip expected to suit, he could be the answer representing an in-form yard. Buckhorn George can remain competitive, with Brinkley dangerous if bouncing back in headgear.
