Off time: 16:27 | Winning time: 4m 2.88s

Ballydoyle^v²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: William Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102

9/2

Reached the frame in a couple of C&D novice hurdles in 2020. Bad mistake 3 out ended chance when remote third on Sandown handicap debut latest. Headgear on for first time over hurdles.

Form: 4-33

Good Bye^b²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 101| D

14/1

Well held on Musselburgh handicap debut in December but has won a jumpers bumper since. Needs to find some improvement to overcome this mark.

Form: 630210

Tommie Beau²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 97

28/1

Fair form when fifth in only bumper. Below that level in 3 hurdle starts and improvement will be needed from this opening mark.

Form: 57-05

Powerstown Park^t⁶^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 90

4/11

From a yard enjoying a very good season and he was an improved winner of 17f Exeter handicap hurdle last week. 7 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop him if in similar form.

Form: 352/2-31

Jumping Jack^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁷⁾| T: P Butler| OR: 96| CD

80/1

Fair hurdler at one point. Slightly better signs when fourth in C&D selling handicap in November but well held in hurdle/on Flat since.

Form: 74/6-045

Air Hair Lair⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 82

15/2

Modest maiden on the Flat. Best run over hurdles when 10 lengths second in C&D handicap in December but not in the same form when fifth here last time.

Form: 78-8265

Time For Champers^h¹⁰⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 79

50/1

Temperamental sort who remains a maiden after 20 hurdle runs. More chance back in a handicap but still not too hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 03/35-3P

Queen Among Kings^p⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 79

28/1

Poor form and beaten 15 lengths when sixth over C&D last time. Needs to step up.

Form: 7-6D466

Wise Garden^h,t1⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Ben Godfrey⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 75WS

33/1

Well held in 3 qualifying runs towards the end of 2020. Subsequently had wind surgery (also tongue tied now) and more realistic chance now handicapping at basement level with yard among winners.

Form: 6967

Lisronagh Stone^b,t1⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: P Henderson| OR: 75

150/1

Point winner but has shown next to nothing over hurdles. Tongue strap on first time. Hard to warm to.

Form: 00-PP90

Devious Dicks Dame^h²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: James Davies| T: A Irvine| OR: 75| CD

66/1

C&D winner in November but unable to back that up when last of 5 at Fakenham 3 months later. Return to this venue needs to help spark revival.

Form: 08P-815

No Worries⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Reed| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 74

40/1

Beaten a long way in maiden/novice hurdles but is related to a few winners and wouldn't be a surprise to see him improve now handicapping after a break. Check betting.

Form: 900

Ashley Hollow^t1⁶⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 54

66/1

Well held in bumper/novice hurdles but in decent hands so it's possible she could fare better in low-grade handicaps. Tongue tied first time.

Form: 000-7

Forecasts

Powerstown Park (4/11), Ballydoyle (9/2), Air Hair Lair (15/2), Good Bye (14/1), Queen Among Kings (28/1), Tommie Beau (28/1), Wise Garden (33/1), No Worries (40/1), Time For Champers (50/1), Devious Dicks Dame (66/1), Ashley Hollow (66/1), Jumping Jack (80/1), Lisronagh Stone (150/1)

A race which to a large extent revolves around POWERSTOWN PARK who will take a bit of stopping if reproducing the form he showed when winning comfortably at Exeter last week. Gary Moore's Ballydoyle has an unexposed profile and reached the frame in novices on both previous visits here so he may provide the main threat. Handicap newcomers Wise Garden and No Worries need monitoring in the betting.
