Party Fuzz^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

Placed on 3 of his 4 starts in bumpers and much more like it on second hurdles start when third in a big-field novice at Warwick last month. More to come over this trip.

Valsheda⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

6/4

Milan gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Asum. No match for the winner but a promising start nonetheless when second at Doncaster in January (20.8f). Will improve.

Form: 2

Wick Green⁹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mason

25/1

Well held in bumpers 3 years ago but a multiple point winner since. Needed to see more back hurdling in December, though.

Gerties Garter^p,t1⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: James Best| T: P Gundry

Just A Whim⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: James Davies| T: L Horsfall

250/1

Wind Tor²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Rex Dingle| T: P Gundry

20/1

Multiple points winner who stayed on late when third of 11 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) on hurdle debut last week. Not in the same form just 12 days later at Hereford.

Forecasts

Valsheda (6/4), Party Fuzz (6/4), Henry Gondoff (6/4), Falloway Dubreau (17/2), Johnny B (9/1), Wind Tor (20/1), Wick Green (25/1), Billygwyn Too (25/1), Kotkiwork (25/1), Minim Mouse (28/1), Shadow Walker (100/1), Just A Whim (250/1), Gerties Garter (300/1)

Having shaped like a stayer in bumpers, PARTY FUZZ offered much more on second hurdles start when third at Warwick last month and he's very likely to progress again up in trip. Henry Gondoff got the job done at Wetherby and is an obvious threat under a penalty, with Valsheda another to note.
