Beach Break^b⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 130| CD

11/1

Produced a career best when beating 12 rivals in handicap at Sedgefield in October and showed his wellbeing on the Flat at Southwell earlier this year. Hard to rule out.

Form: 128-431

Glory And Fortune^h,t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 127| D

10/3

Bumper winner who was a pretty useful novice hurdler last term but has struggled this term, including over fences. Becoming well treated but others are more appealing.

Form: 352-840

Mahler's Promise⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 125| D

7/1

Newbury maiden hurdle winner last term who would certainly have been involved in the finish had he not fallen at the last in a handicap at Fontwell in November. Pulled up at Kempton since, though.

Form: 1F8-7FP

Global Society^h⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 125

14/1

Runner-up all 3 starts in Irish bumpers and made winning hurdles debut for new yard at Doncaster in January 2020. Hasn't built on that, though, and needs to put a tame handicap debut behind him.

Form: 221P4-8

Deniliquin^t⁹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Adrian Heskin| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 124

22/1

Useful-looking gelding who won his sole start over hurdles in France in 2018. No impact both starts for Paul Nicholls and has already had one wind op. Lots to prove.

Form: 14/7

Vision Du Puy²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 122| D

13/2

Ready winner of newcomers' hurdle at Auteuil and comfortably landed the odds on British bow at Perth in 2019. Has struggled in her 4 subsequent outings but return to better ground could suit.

Form: 11/30-74

Will Sting²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 122| BF| D

4/1

Bumper winner who left previous hurdles form behind when justifying support on handicap debut at Warwick in January. Not disgraced behind an improver at Sandown next time, so worth considering.

Form: 147512

Harefield⁹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: C Gordon| OR: 122| D

11/1

Had been in good order prior to a lesser showing in competitive event at Cheltenham last time but liable to get back on track back at a smaller track following a 3-month break.

Form: P-65430

Cawthorne Lad⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 113| D

14/1

Fairly useful hurdler who produced comfortably his best effort since joining this stable when second at Hereford in December. Disappointing next time but could get back on track after a break.

Form: 33-9024

Sopat²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: P W Middleton| OR: 113| D

14/1

Landed a 2m handicap hurdle maiden hurdle at Fakenham in January but below form since (including in jumpers bumper at Lingfield last time) and mark seems to overestimate him.

Form: 61/8158

Fort De L'Ocean^h1,t⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Ross Turner⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 107

16/1

Form: 665226

Milrow^t⁶⁰³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 106| CD

28/1

Badly out of sorts when last seen 20 months ago, so hard to make a meaningful case or even if he's well treated in theory.

Form: 6207/56-

River Bray²⁰

Weight: 11-11| Age: 8

Twominutes Turkish¹

Weight: 11-4| Age: 6

T: C Gordon J: J E Moore

Forecasts

Glory And Fortune (10/3), Will Sting (4/1), Twominutes Turkish (6/1), Vision Du Puy (13/2), Mahler's Promise (7/1), Beach Break (11/1), Harefield (11/1), Global Society (14/1), Cawthorne Lad (14/1), Sopat (14/1), River Bray (14/1), Fort De L'Ocean (16/1), Deniliquin (22/1), Milrow (28/1)

TWOMINUTES TURKISH, though below form at Warwick on Sunday, was clear of the remainder when second to the talented Cadzand at Warwick in November and he's still highly respected on these terms on handicap debut if allowed to take his chance. Beach Break and Will Sting look the chief dangers.
