Age: 10|  Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: O Pimlott| OR:  126
12/1
One-time useful bumper/hurdles performer who got back on track when landing pair of hunter chase events in spring 2019. Placed on 2 of 3 starts in points since (pulled up latest) and no forlorn hope.

11/2
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for John Joseph Hanlon who wasn't disgraced in handicaps at Listowel/Gowran in the autumn. Well held in veterans' event final start but this more suitable on yard debut.

Snapped lengthy losing run over fences at Carlisle (26f) back in 2019. Pulled up final start for Nicky Richards and he was a well held third on point/yard debut in December.

80/1
Ended time with Nigel Hawke out of form over hurdles back in 2019 and he's likely best watched on belated return for new stable. Usual tongue tie discarded here.

6/1
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who, on the back of a pair of point wins, ran to a fair level when fourth in a Musselburgh hunter earlier this month. No forlorn hope in this field on that evidence.

Age: 13|  Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR:  135
9/2
Formerly classy chaser who hasn't been seen for almost 4 years, so hard to know how much ability he retains. Market could prove informative.

125/1
Uninspiring record under Rules and pulled up in a point last time. Others are more appealing.

10/11
Multiple point winner who landed mares' open hunter at Cheltenham in spring 2019. Found Foxhunter back there too hot last March but this rates more suitable and big player with Harry Skelton up.

African Belle68

12/1
7-y-o mare who arrives having landed each of her last 3 starts in points, latest following 19-month absence (Dec 13), noted staying on well. Unexposed profile suggests she's one to note.

Little impact under Rules earlier in career, well held in fourth over hurdles at Lingfield (23f) when last seen 13 months ago for Dai Williams. Passed over on return for new yard.

Forecasts

Kalabaloo (10/11), Tango De Juilley (9/2), Kilkishen (11/2), Senor Lombardy (6/1), African Belle (12/1), Carter Mckay (12/1), Teddy Tee (80/1), Lord Ballim (80/1), Thyne For Gold (125/1), Bean Liath (250/1)

Verdict

KALABALOO found the Foxhunter at Cheltenham too much when last seen and this rates a more suitable assignment on return. She gets the nod to come out on top partnered by Harry Skelton. African Belle is 3-5 between the Flags and is interesting, whilst Tango de Juilley will demand consideration if strong in the betting on his belated return. Carter McKay completes the shortlist.

  1. KALABALOO (IRE)
  2. AFRICAN BELLE
  3. TANGO DE JUILLEY (FR)
