Singapore Saga⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 105

14/1

Showed promise in bumpers and in her qualifying runs over hurdles last term. She's failed to progress this time round, though.

Form: 6P44-00

Frankincense^b²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 103

14/1

Lost his way over hurdles in Ireland last year but back on track for new yard and gained breakthrough win at Exeter in November. Good second at Warwick next time but pulled up at Hereford since.

Form: 90-312P

Windance^t1⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 101

11/2

Poor form on sole run in a bumper and has gone backwards from hurdling debut. Tongue tied for this handicap bow, so may do better.

Form: 4-560

King Cool¹⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 101| D

16/1

Fell a long way in the weights and capitalised under a good front-running ride to score over extended 21f at Fontwell in August. Didn't go on from that, though, and has been off 144 days.

Form: 3P-6127

Nachi Falls¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 99| D

22/1

Gained second hurdles win of season at Fontwell in August but has struggled for form since, including on the Flat at Southwell 11 days ago.

Form: 6-11968

Gabrielle Du Seuil²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: David Noonan| T: D Pipe| OR: 98

25/1

Fourth in a couple of hurdles in France in 2019 but has gone backwards from a mildly encouraging debut for this stable. Something to prove.

Form: 4/4-50P

Russian Service^t,v1¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R Patrick| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 97| CD

4/1

Back to form with a bang when leading towards the finish over C&D in January and backed it up with a good third in first-time blinkers here 11 days ago. Headgear switched again.

Form: F96013

Shutupshirley⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 101

7/1

Lightly-raced juvenile who has hinted at ability and has been given a break ahead of this handicap debut, so makes plenty of appeal in a thin race.

Form: 464

Outisaid¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 91

5/1

Best effort so far when stepped up in trip and third in 19.5f Chepstow handicap in November. Fell early at Hereford 4 months later but remains with potential.

Form: 93553F

Thedancingman¹²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L J Young| OR: 90

14/1

Limited hurdler who offered nothing in two goes for Johnny Farrelly and is hard to fancy back with his former stable after 126 days off.

Form: 0075-06

Dido¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: C Gethings| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 85

40/1

Six-time winner between the flags but still a maiden under Rules and arrives on the back of a moody display over C&D.

Form: 23445P

Beau Haze³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: P C Dando| OR: 84

20/1

Fared about as well as could be expected in a pair of maiden hurdles before an inauspicious effort back handicapping at Ffos Las in February. Others are more appealing.

Form: 765-35P

Silver Quay⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: J D Frost| OR: 84| CD

28/1

Won twice over C&D in 2018/19 but has been out of sorts for a long time.

Form: 7080P-0

Menapian⁵¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Alan Johns| T: Mrs H R J Nelmes| OR: 83| BF

13/2

Maiden who returned with a good third in 2m handicap at Exeter in November, but has disappointed on both subsequent starts, including over C&D last time.

Form: 583-365

Champagne Vintage^t1²²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: K Bishop| OR: 75

50/1

Maiden pointer who has looked limited under Rules. First run for this yard after leaving J. R. Jenkins.

Form: 84PF7-9

Darsi Rose^p¹¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: L Hurley| OR: 74

40/1

Makes no appeal.

Form: 8PP-U4P

Candyman Can²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽⁷⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 71

28/1

Flat winner who is exposed as poor in this sphere.

Form: 03456-8

Russian Service (4/1), Outisaid (5/1), Windance (11/2), Menapian (13/2), Shutupshirley (7/1), Thedancingman (14/1), Frankincense (14/1), Singapore Saga (14/1), King Cool (16/1), Beau Haze (20/1), Nachi Falls (22/1), Gabrielle Du Seuil (25/1), Candyman Can (28/1), Silver Quay (28/1), Darsi Rose (40/1), Dido (40/1), Champagne Vintage (50/1)

A leap of faith is required with SHUTUPSHIRLEY on handicap debut but there has been promise of better in his 3 outings to date and he receives a healthy weight-for-age allowance from his elders, so he gets the nod in a race that lacks depth. In-form Russian Service should given him plenty to think about and Outisaid can't be dismissed.
