Off time: 14:13 | Winning time: 5m 39.38s

Le Milos^t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 122

6/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler last term. Had wind surgery ahead of a creditable first effort over fences on 19f Exeter reappearance last month. May do better.

Form: 13040-3

Dundrum Wood^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Callum McKinnes⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 121| D

6/1

Fairly useful hurdler who struck at second time of asking over fences in 2½m Newcastle novice handicap in December. Sixth in bumper since. Open to further progress back chasing.

Form: 125-416

Eragon De Chanay^v²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 118

11/2

Useful 21f winner over hurdles at his best but has been much more miss than hit in recent years, failing to build on December's Wincanton third over fences when pulled up there since. Visor back on.

Form: 80-FF3P

Meteorite⁸¹

15/2

Improved again when second in 2m Plumpton handicap on reappearance in November. Not in the same form at Carlisle 4 weeks later and has subsequently had a wind op ahead of this switch to fences.

Form: 4621-27

Landofsmiles⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 106

3/1

Fair hurdler who has quickly translated that form to fences, second in 22.5f Uttoxeter handicap in December. Shorter trip now not sure to play to his strengths.

Form: 537-362

Right Hand Of God²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: David Noonan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 105

25/1

Ran to a fair level on a couple of occasions over hurdles. 13/2, around 5 lengths behind leaders and yet to be asked for everything when unseating 4 out on Plumpton chase debut last month.

Form: 730-55F

Definite Dilemma¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 105

5/2

No impact in 3 maiden hurdles in Ireland in 2019 but did win 2 points prior to that and made encouraging start over fences for his new yard when second at Warwick (2½m) 15 days ago, travelling best.

Form: 117/57-2

Forecasts

Definite Dilemma (5/2), Landofsmiles (3/1), Eragon De Chanay (11/2), Le Milos (6/1), Dundrum Wood (6/1), Meteorite (15/2), Right Hand Of God (25/1)

DUNDRUM WOOD is refitted with the cheekpieces he wore to good effect at Newcastle in December and can add to that success. Definite Dilemma shaped well on his recent chase debut for a new stable and may provide the main opposition.
