Supakalanistic¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| CD

11/2

In good form in recent months, winner on the Flat in September and over hurdles 2 months later. Added to tally in C&D bumper a fortnight ago, but more on his plate under a penalty this time.

Form: P517-11

Ballinsker⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| D

11/2

Point winner who made successful hurdles debut at Ludlow in October 2019. Creditable efforts in defeat since, sixth in the Greatwood at Cheltenham last time, and shortlisted on this bumper debut.

Form: 1/14-26

Castledhem^t⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford

50/1

Fairly useful form on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers, close third over C&D on return in October. However, tame effort switched to hurdles at Southwell since and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 2/0-37

Ernesto^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C J Todd⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams

28/1

Useful on Flat in Germany (stays 1¾m), but hasn't shown much for present yard and fair bit to prove now.

Form: 9

Jersey Wonder¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| D

6/1

Useful stayer on Flat for Jamie Osborne. Let down by jumping on Taunton hurdles bow in December, but good third to Supakalanistic in C&D bumper recently and now 6 lb better off with that rival.

Form: 43

Movie Legend^p⁸⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: L Wadham| DWS

22/1

Successful 3 times over hurdles/fences during 2018/19 campaign. However, well held both starts this season and opposable back in this sphere, for all that he represents an in-form yard.

Form: 4342-97

Strong Glance⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| D

7/2

Fairly useful hurdler who looked anything but a natural on chase debut at Ludlow in December. Winner of 2 of his 3 previous starts in bumpers, so he has to enter calculations.

Form: 12-328R

Talkischeap¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

10/1

Capped fine 2018/19 season over fences with impressive win in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. Well below par in 2 starts last term, but recent reappearance on the Flat was encouraging and merits respect.

Form: 1251/3P-

Touchthesoul^t1³³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J E Moore| T: G & J MooreWS

20/1

Fairly useful on Flat in France and generally performed well over hurdles last term. Below par back on the Flat here when last seen 11 months ago (wind op since) and now tried in a tongue strap.

Form: 24342-

Kayarnah²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: George Baker| D

25/1

Winner of one of his 4 starts in this sphere in 2020 and runner-up on Flat debut at Southwell in December. Little impact tried over hurdles last time, but she needs considering back in a bumper.

Form: 14236

Will Victory³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: G Sheehan| T: C J Mann

15/2

Flat/dual hurdles winner in France. Runner-up both completed starts over hurdles for new yard this season, most recently in a listed event at Taunton, and entitled to major respect on bumper debut.

Form: 112F2

African Sun^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Eddie Edge⁽⁷⁾| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy

300/1

Has looked limited in various events.

Form: P6

Albert Van Ornum^p1⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore

11/1

Fair ex-French 13f Flat winner. Encouraging start for new yard under patient ride when seventh of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, soft) in December, but opposable on this bumper debut.

Form: 7

Shalott²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: R Johnson| T: G Brown

16/1

Third in a Huntingdon bumper in November before finishing runner-up on hurdles debut at Market Rasen. Not entirely disgraced on the Flat at Kempton last time and booking or Richard Johnson is a plus.

Form: 532

WILL VICTORY has made a very positive start for this yard over hurdles, finding only the progressive Talking About You too strong in listed company at Taunton last time. She is taken to make a successful debut in this discipline. Strong Glance is 2-3 in this sphere and is next on the list ahead of Ballinsker, Jersey Wonder and Talkischeap.
