6/1

Won 2 novice hurdles at Sedgefield in 2017/18 and showed signs of a revival off reduced mark when third back over fences last 2 starts. Ought to be competitive again.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: L Morgan| OR: 105| BF| D

7/2

First run since leaving Charlie Longsdon when getting off the mark in 2½m Hexham handicap chase in December. Just as good when second at Leicester since. Another prominent showing on the cards.

Do It For Thy Sen⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 102| BF

13/2

Successful pointer who posed best effort when second at Ffos Las (21f) in November. Perhaps found 3m on heavy stretching him at Uttoxeter since. Retains potential back over shorter.

Form: 34P-624

Unai⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D A Jacob| T: B Pauling| OR: 102

12/1

Third in Market Rasen maiden hurdle on final outing last term. However, not in anything like same form in couple of handicap hurdles this season so has a bit to prove now trying his luck over fences.

Form: 3/473-6P

The Toojumpa¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: J Groucott| OR: 101

Good runner-up efforts on 2 of last 3 starts. Ought to be very competitive again.

Form: 2F-62P2

Definite Dilemma⁵⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 99

40/1

No impact in 3 maiden hurdles in Ireland in 2019 but did win 2 points prior to that so worth a precautionary market check now chasing for new yard after an absence.

Form: 117/57-

Bardd²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs D O'Neill| OR: 98

80/1

Monkey Harris⁴⁸¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 97

150/1

Ex-pointer who showed only modest form in a trio of hurdling outings and has a long absence to overcome on chasing debut from a tough opening mark.

Form: 42487/8-

Eurkash^h²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: P R Webber| OR: 96

7/1

Built on chasing debut promise to open his account in 17f handicap chase at Bangor in November. Respectable fourth at Plumpton and now steps back up in trip.

Form: 86-8314

Clondaw's Answer^t⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: M G Nolan| T: K Woollacott| OR: 93

7/1

Low-mileage 8-y-o improved on previous efforts when narrowly landing Exeter handicap chase (19f) in December. Further progress not ruled out and he holds claims.

Form: 0005/F1

Magnificent Ben¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 92

14/1

Winning pointer but hasn't achieved much in 4 hurdles for this yard, struggling when falling 4 out on 2m course handicap debut latest. Switch to fences needs to make a difference.

Form: 1-040U

Flight To Nowhere³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: W T Kennedy| T: R J Price| OR: 85

20/1

Winning hurdler who was having just her second outing over fences when 10 lengths second in 2m handicap here 34 days ago. Races beyond 2m for just a second time here.

Form: 29/5P-32

Watar Allstar^p⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: James Best| T: A Irvine| OR: 85

14/1

Modest maiden hurdler/chaser who ran one of his better races when 9 lengths third of 11 over this trip at Huntingdon last time, albeit not finding much. Bit more needed to break duck.

Form: 075-3P3

Big Time Frank^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: P Gundry| OR: 80

20/1

Temperamental chaser who bounced back when runner-up at Fontwell (21.5f) in November. However, not in the same for when distant third there latest and suspicion he'll find few too strong again.

Form: 2P-P253

Dapa Lad^t⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: James Davies| T: S Curran| OR: 79

50/1

Poor maiden hurdler for Jennie Candlish who has fared no better for new yard this season. Chase debut.

Forecasts

Overworkdunderpaid (7/2), Quick Pick (6/1), Do It For Thy Sen (13/2), Eurkash (7/1), Clondaw's Answer (7/1), The Toojumpa (10/1), Unai (12/1), Watar Allstar (14/1), Coby Nine (14/1), Magnificent Ben (14/1), Big Time Frank (20/1), Flight To Nowhere (20/1), Definite Dilemma (40/1), Dapa Lad (50/1), Bardd (80/1), Monkey Harris (150/1)

OVERWORKDUNDERPAID has made a good start for the Laura Morgan yard and gets a tentative vote in this open handicap. The Toojumpa, Quick Pick and Do It For Thy Sen, who retains potential back at shorter, head the many possible dangers.
