Top Beak¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: M Young| OR: 92

12/1

Modest maiden hurdler who got back on track when second of 5 to Kingston Mimosa in handicap at Fakenham (16f, 28/1) 19 days ago. Much respected in his bid to gain a first win in this sphere.

Form: 0-44B82

State Vision^b1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 91| BF

13/2

Fair form for Charlie Longsdon but pulled up first 2 runs this term. Cheekpieces on when well-held fourth on yard bow in 2m Fakenham handicap but not ruled out if blinkers spark a resurgence.

Form: 476-PP4

Pepper Street^t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 90

3/1

Maiden hurdler but modest 1m6f winner on Flat who also posted good third in 2m handicap at Southwell 6 days ago. Not dismissed if translating that form back to this sphere.

Form: 74-39F6

Major Davis¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 89

125/1

Dual winning pointer in 2018, but has offered very little in 3 starts for current yard this season.

Form: F/7P-9P7

Blueskyandsunshine^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 89

20/1

Fair maiden hurdler at his best but he arrives in poor form from the Flat. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 265897

Boss Des Mottes^b,t⁷⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Hogarth| OR: 81| D

50/1

Without a win since 2018, and he offered little after 19 months off when pulled up in 2m Sedgefield handicap chase in December. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 84P/57-P

Kingston Mimosa^b⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 80| D

6/1

Back to winning ways in 2m selling handicap hurdle at Fakenham last month before below-par fifth at Taunton 6 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: P7P415

Flanagans Field^b¹⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-11| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 77| CD

9/1

Veteran took a step back in the right direction when third of 16 in handicap (20/1) at Taunton (19f) 15 days ago. Also landed this contest 12 months ago so he must enter calculations.

Form: 4-43853

Hey Bob^t¹³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR: 76| CD

11/1

Modest winning hurdler who arrives below par, fifth in 2m Hexham handicap in October. C&D winner so no forlorn hope if resurgent after a break.

Form: 68-3685

Shadow's Girl^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 76| D

9/1

Back to form when second in 2m Plumpton selling handicap and not disgraced after 3 months off when fifth of 16 at Taunton 15 days ago given 2m3f trip stretched his stamina. Well worth considering.

Form: 6-45725

Onenightintown^p,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 76

11/1

Little show over hurdles/fences in Ireland for Brian Francis Cawley, and has fared no better for new connections on last 4 starts.

Form: 900880

Cryogenics^p,t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 75| D

15/2

Poor hurdler who arrives on back of modest seventh in 1m minor event at Newcastle 18 days ago. Hard to warm to back in this sphere.

Form: 902688

Kisumu^p,t³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Aidan Macdonald⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 73

18/1

Temperamental sort who is a long-standing maiden. Well held in Newcastle jumpers bumper last time so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 2-47698

Forecasts

Pepper Street (3/1), Kingston Mimosa (6/1), State Vision (13/2), Cryogenics (15/2), Flanagans Field (9/1), Shadow's Girl (9/1), Hey Bob (11/1), Onenightintown (11/1), Top Beak (12/1), Kisumu (18/1), Blueskyandsunshine (20/1), Boss Des Mottes (50/1), Major Davis (125/1)

Lots of these have question marks against them so SHADOW'S GIRL could be the way to go back at 2m given she didn't get home when a creditable fifth over 2m3f at Taunton. State Vision is feared most if blinkers see him bounce back to form on his second run for Dr Richard Newland. Last year's victor Flanagans Field is also worth a second look after hinting at a return to form last time.
