Colonel Custard⁴⁰⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 130| BF| DWS

8/1

Landed brace of novice hurdles last season. Creditable placed efforts in handicaps first 2 starts this term but not so good last twice. Makes chase debut in warm race. Has had wind op.

Form: 19/3257-

Monsieur Lecoq^t1⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 142| BF| D

5/2

Smart hurdler at his best but yet to hit top form this term. Not without encouragement on chasing bow when fourth in Uttoxeter maiden (2m4f) so no forlorn hope back fencing with tongue tie on.

Form: 275-463

One For Rosie⁴¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 141

15/8

Progressive novice hurdler in 2018/19. Not seen since finishing sixth in 20.5f Newbury handicap hurdle in December 2019 (final start for Nigel Twiston-Davies) but interesting chase recruit.

Form: 13123/6-

Ritas Legacy^h⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: L Hurley| OR: 61

300/1

Poor maiden on Flat for Roy Brotherton and has offered nothing in 5 starts over hurdles for new yard. Big outsider on chase debut.

Form: 0PP8P

Mick Pastor^h,t⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 137| D

2/1

Smart ex-French hurdler. Every chance when falling last on chase bow at Fakenham on return before distant second of 4 to Shishkin in Kempton novice. Has more to offer over fences, so one to beat.

Form: 1610-F2

Forecasts

One For Rosie (15/8), Mick Pastor (2/1), Monsieur Lecoq (5/2), Whoshotthesheriff (5/1), Colonel Custard (8/1), Ritas Legacy (300/1)

MICK PASTOR couldn't live with Shishkin when last seen in November but that should have at least served as a confidence booster after his fall on chase debut and he can come good on his return from a break. One For Rosie has been off for a while but she was very useful over hurdles and may prove the main opposition now chasing for his new trainer Kim Bailey.
