Freddy Fanatapan¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Nick Scholfield| T: W S Kittow| OR: 99| D

7/1

Taken wide when easily making all at Exeter in November, but has proved a disappointment all 3 runs since.

Form: 841P5P

Remember The Man²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Bryony Le Clerc| T: N B King| OR: 98

13/2

One-time fair performer on Flat. Modest maiden hurdler for current connections but a brace of placed efforts during the autumn confirm he's competitive. Fit from jumpers bumpers.

Form: P23P65

Presenting Yeats¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Reed| T: M F Harris| OR: 96

12/1

Fair bumper winner who wasn't disgraced on handicap bow when staying on into mid-field in 21f event at Cheltenham in November. Beaten before stamina for 3m was called into question a fortnight later.

Form: 04F690

Diamond Rose⁹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: M D Grant| T: J S Smith| OR: 96

9/1

Stepped up on reappearance when third of 11 in 21f handicap at Sedgefield in November, faring best of those held up. Also shaped better than result at Ludlow a month later so she's of interest.

Form: 369-737

Shutthegate²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: J E Moore| T: J L Spearing| OR: 93

14/1

Signs of promise in maiden/novice events over hurdles but allotted a stiff mark and was never really a factor at Fontwell 3 weeks ago.

Form: 0/95-548

Uknowwhatimean¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: M G Nolan| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 90

50/1

Point winner, but lightly raced and limited impact over hurdles. Brought down on recent handicap bow.

Form: UU2-07B

Admiral Balko^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 98

5/4

Showed plenty when second in Bangor juvenile on debut in November. Unable to build on that twice since but a likely improver now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 253

Dont Push It Pall⁵²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 86

40/1

Little show in 3 Irish points but did at least show more when fourth on handicap debut, albeit that was back in October 2019.

Form: 44/9B94-

Miss Harriett^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: James Best| T: P Gundry| OR: 82

5/1

Poor maiden hurdler but did find some form from out of the blue when second of 14 at Taunton (19f) in January. Left poorly placed back in trip here last week so likely remains in good order.

Form: 7-06827

Forecasts

Admiral Balko (5/4), Et Apres Thou (4/1), Miss Harriett (5/1), Remember The Man (13/2), Freddy Fanatapan (7/1), Diamond Rose (9/1), Potters Vision (10/1), Presenting Yeats (12/1), Shutthegate (14/1), Jalingo (20/1), The Come Back Dude (25/1), Dont Push It Pall (40/1), Uknowwhatimean (50/1)

Having displayed ability in juvenile company, ADMIRAL BALKO rates a likely improver now handicapping up in trip with his 4-y-o allowance another thing in his favour. Remember That Man and Miss Harriett are a couple of potential threats.
