Form: 00-6165

Foster'sisland⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Macdonald⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Micky Hammond

20/1

Little impact in 4 runs over hurdles this term but was better in bumpers so this test of speed should be up his street.

Form: 62-P36P

Grumpy Mcgrumpface^p1¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish

50/1

Modest hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time.

Form: 4-8855P

Hitman Fred^v⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R Dobbin

28/1

Irish point winner who wasn't disgraced at Kelso (22.7f) last time, but he's largely been disappointing as a hurdler and looks vulnerable to speedier sorts.

Form: 0/93-664

Largy Mouth^p1¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison

6/1

Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling after 13 months off when fourth in a course maiden. Good fourth in one of these 13 days ago and cheekpieces now on.

Form: 24-464

Mackenberg⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

5/6

£90,000 purchase who landed first of 2 starts in bumpers and off the mark over hurdles in good style at Carlisle (17f). Heavy defeat at Aintree needs casting aside but a danger to all.

Form: F/14-123

Plenty In The Tank^h⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| D

9/2

Made a winning bumper debut for Ed de Giles last autumn. Bought for £75,000 after but proved a let-down both hurdles starts.

Form: 1-PP

Sixties Star¹⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: J Kington| T: C W Fairhurst

50/1

Runner-up in a couple of bumpers back in 2018 but a long-standing maiden over timber.

Form: 567-868

The Hoax⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

6/1

Reportedly lame on only start in bumpers but showed ability on hurdling debut 10 months on at Taunton. Raced freely up with the pace when falling at third at Southwell since. Remains with potential.

Form: 9-2F

Ugo Du Misselot¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson

25/1

Modest form in bumpers but has shown promise over timber, improving on his debut effort 9 months on when runner-up on stable debut at Ayr in December. Back down in trip.

Form: 0474-27

Whats The Matter³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A Hamilton

200/1

Has offered little in a couple of bumpers/novice hurdle.

Form: 988

Princess Avery⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett

80/1

Minor promise only in 2 hurdle outings 15 months apart.

Forecasts

Mackenberg (5/6), Plenty In The Tank (9/2), Fontana Ellissi (5/1), Largy Mouth (6/1), The Hoax (6/1), Foster'sisland (20/1), Ugo Du Misselot (25/1), Hitman Fred (28/1), First Revolution (40/1), Grumpy Mcgrumpface (50/1), Sixties Star (50/1), Princess Avery (80/1), Tooyou (100/1), Whats The Matter (200/1)

MACKENBERG flopped in the mud at Aintree in December, but this talented bumper performer may well outclass these. Fontana Ellissi is second choice, for all it will be interesting to see which way Plenty In The Tank goes in the market.
