Alberts Monarch¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Best| T: K Bishop

50/1

Showed a bit in bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when sixth of 18 in C&D maiden in January. Failed to build on that at Fontwell since, though.

Form: 04867

Bumpy Johnson³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe

11/4

Easy winner of a Fontwell bumper on Rules debut in October. Encouraging third of 13 on subsequent hurdles bow at Hereford (2½m) but Doncaster run since disappointing. Down in trip.

Form: F-137

Chetomian³⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: P Gundry

400/1

Last of 4 finishers sole completed start in points (latest outing March 2020). Likely outsider on hurdle debut.

Form: UFP/4P-

Geordie Washington¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke

20/1

Has shown a fair level of ability in a couple of outings at Hereford but was under pressure a fair way over 25f last time so this drop to an extended 2m far from an obvious move.

Form: 54

Givehimhisdew⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Kai Lenihan⁽⁷⁾| T: K Davis

400/1

Well held in 3 bumpers and a big outsider now hurdling.

Form: PP-005

Killer Kane²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 127

5/6

£300,000 buy from the pointing field. Shaped well when second on Aintree hurdle debut in October and perhaps needed the run when only fourth over 18.5f here 4 months later. Worth another chance.

Form: 1-24

Not Sure⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee

11/1

Runner-up on the second over 2 starts in bumpers towards the end of 2020. Should have a bright future over jumps but will probably require longer trips than this ideally.

Form: 52

Our Surprise²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: D A Jacob| T: H Fry

4/1

£50,000 buy after winning Irish point in October. 11/2, shaped better than distance beaten suggests when 22½ lengths third in Warwick bumper, fading late on. Respected now hurdling.

Form: 213

What A Glance⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood

16/1

Offered plenty to work on when third in a bumper in November but has looked more a handicap prospect in his 2 hurdles since.

Form: P-365

Zeyzoun^h⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Alexandra Dunn

150/1

Poor on the Flat nowadays. Likely up against it now hurdling.

Form:

Doctor Dotty^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Rex Dingle| T: P Gundry

400/1

Hasn't shown anything in 3 bumpers this year so a few flights of hurdles need to transform her.

Form: 076

I'm Notapartygirl⁵⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: T J O'Brien| T: A E Jones| D

100/1

Didn't need to improve to land a weak bumper at Newton Abbot in August 2019. Clearly had her issues to be off since. Could only consider if backed.

Form: 631-

Maisie Mix

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams

150/1

Out of an unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler/smart chaser Crack Away Jack and bumper winner/smart hurdler Jolly's Cracked It but this is a very belated debut.

Form:

Morning Gloria²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: K Woollacott

125/1

250/1, pulled up in 18.5f novice hurdle on last month's debut.

Form: P

Pollyamorous¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: K Davis

400/1

Lightly raced and hasn't shown much in various company so far.

Form: 68-40P

Forecasts

Killer Kane (5/6), Bumpy Johnson (11/4), Our Surprise (4/1), Not Sure (11/1), What A Glance (16/1), Geordie Washington (20/1), Alberts Monarch (50/1), Feu Des Malberaux (66/1), I'm Notapartygirl (100/1), Morning Gloria (125/1), Maisie Mix (150/1), Zeyzoun (150/1), Chetomian (400/1), Pollyamorous (400/1), Givehimhisdew (400/1), Doctor Dotty (400/1)

In a race lacking depth KILLER KANE is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his hurdle debut second in the autumn. Our Surprise showed a bit of promise in a bumper last month and he may provide the chief threat ahead of David Pipe's Bumpy Johnson.
