King Roland^h,t¹¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: H Fry| OR: 140| BF| D

7/4

Quickly made up into useful hurdler last term and produced an encouraging chasing debut when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on reappearance. Off a further 116 days since but mark looks reasonable.

Masters Legacy⁴¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 136| CD

5/2

Nicely bred and was progressing well at this track when last seen, showing a good attitude to win a couple of novices. 13-month absence to overcome on hurdling debut, however.

Form: 211-

Rockadenn^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 135| D

17/2

Fairly useful jumper in France, winning completing 4-timer in Cagnes-Sur-Mer listed chase. Returns to hurdling having run out early in handicap chase at Musselburgh on debut for this yard.

Form: 11112-R

Totterdown⁵²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 132| D

6/1

Useful hurdler who hasn't been in great form this term but went off too hard at Sandown 52 days ago. Mark is edging back down, so not a forlorn hope if he gets his own way in front.

Form: 13-3F95

Getaway Fred⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Adrian Heskin| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 130| D

20/1

Winning pointer who made up into a fairly useful hurdler last term but hasn't made any great impact over fences this term. Needs to improve back in this discipline.

Form: 32P-655

River Bray^p,t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: C Gethings| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 130

11/1

Has some temperament but he did manage a win at Wincanton in December and was quickly back to form when second in a handicap there a month ago. One to consider.

Form: 2-5U182

Pinson Du Rheu¹⁰¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 125WS

125/1

Fairly useful jumper at up to 23f in France but jumped poorly when pulled up on British/stable debut, so no surprise to see him back over hurdles.

Form: 17F2-FP

Forecasts

King Roland (7/4), Masters Legacy (5/2), Totterdown (6/1), Rockadenn (17/2), Pic D'Orhy (9/1), River Bray (11/1), Getaway Fred (20/1), Pinson Du Rheu (125/1)

KING ROLAND made a positive return when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on chasing debut and remains with potential in this sphere, so he's fancied to improve past a mark of 140 up against, in the main, more exposed types. Masters Legacy is progressive but has a lengthy absence to overcome, so last year's Betfair Hurdle winner Pic d'Orhy could pose the main threat to the selection.
