Group Stage^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Archie Bellamy⁽⁷⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 119

12/1

Winner of Ludlow juvenile hurdle last season and best effort this term when third in first-time cheekpieces at Fakenham in January on final start for Alan King. Fair start for new yard at Plumpton.

Form: 0-89333

The Last But One¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Kieron Edgar| T: W S Kittow| OR: 118

80/1

Useful chaser for Paul Nicholls in 2018. Had fair share of success in pointing field for Tom Malone (third in December) but showed nothing over hurdles for new yard 12 days ago.

Form: 432-535

Makety²³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Nick Scholfield| T: C Heard| OR: 117| BF

16/1

Posted a fairly useful effort when close second in 2m Fakenham handicap in January 2020. Failed to fire back in a novice 6 months later and has left Oliver Sherwood.

Form: 624/42-3

Amarillo Sky²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 115

5/2

Successful sole start between the flags and has displayed a fair level of ability over hurdles at Newbury and Ascot. Allotted tough mark after and mid-field at Warwick last month.

Form: 1-447

John Constable^p,t¹⁰³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 114| D

10/1

Smart handicapper at best and confirmed he retains some ability with a brace of placed efforts this season. Has underlined why he's such a frustrating sort in between, though.

Form: 0-27652

Goaheadwiththeplan¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs D O'Neill| OR: 114

80/1

Fair ex-Irish 2m hurdler for Noel Meade. Heavy defeat both starts for this yard last month.

Form: 3-90706

Steady Away¹⁰⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 113

7/1

Good second on handicap bow at Market Rasen on final start of last season. Not quite at that level both runs during the autumn and now back markedly in trip.

Form: 2662-65

Paxman⁷⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 113

5/1

Point winner who mere hinted at ability over hurdles for Evan Williams in 2018/19. Off the track a long time but joined another good yard and the betting will be revealing.

Form: 16F6/

Pasley⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 106

12/1

Fair 14f winner on Flat who has shown similar form over hurdles for new yard, third of 11 in handicap at Warwick (16f, heavy) in January. Has to be of interest.

Form: 568783

Perfect Predator²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 106

8/1

Some decent efforts to his name when in the care of Alan King, but this irresolute performer has offered little in 3 starts since joining this yard.

Form: 422990

Carnage¹⁰⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: James Davies| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 100

50/1

Left previous hurdling exploits in his wake when landing 2m Warwick handicap in 2019. Disappointing on Flat later that year and beaten before stamina for 19.7f was an issue on return in November.

Form: F463/1-0

Forecasts

Amarillo Sky (5/2), Paxman (5/1), Steady Away (7/1), Kuraka (15/2), Perfect Predator (8/1), John Constable (10/1), Group Stage (12/1), Pasley (12/1), Makety (16/1), Carnage (50/1), The Last But One (80/1), Goaheadwiththeplan (80/1)

Having dropped a long way in the weights, PASLEY arrested the slide when third at Warwick in January and he could be the answer in a trappy race. John Constable really ought to be a factor at this level, while Paxman cost six figures early in his career and has transferred to a yard adept with new recruits.
