8/15

Much improved when easily winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. 7 lb penalty to carry now but likely more to come yet.

Hidden Commander¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 110

20/1

Returning from 3 months off when pulled up at Hereford last month and looks on a stiff mark at present.

The Herds Garden²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107

50/1

Veteran who got back on scoreboard at Catterick in January. Below form twice since, though, unseating rider when held at Wetherby latest.

Form: 2-2710U

Crack Du Ninian²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 104| CD

Disappointed at Carlisle latest but had scored over C&D previously and remains on a workable mark.

Form: 83-1510

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David England| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 102

8/1

Back on song when third in Uttoxeter (15.8f) in December and may have needed outing when down the field at Ludlow earlier this month.

Form: 717730

Seaborough¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny McMenamin| T: D Thompson| OR: 101| CD

12/1

C&D winner in December 2019 but little to shout about in various company of late.

Form: 8-U9P06

Comber Mill^t¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 90| D

25/1

Not scored for 2 years and recent efforts have offered little encouragement.

Form: 042087

Lucou^v⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 81

10/1

Second twice over hurdles in France, but yet to reproduce that level of form on this side of the Channel. 3 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 6-0P737

Forecasts

Mongol Emperor (8/15), Crack Du Ninian (6/1), Authorizo (8/1), Lucou (10/1), Seaborough (12/1), Hidden Commander (20/1), Comber Mill (25/1), The Herds Garden (50/1)

Newcastle-winner MONGOL EMPEROR looks well in under his penalty and can score again. Crack du Ninian and Authorizo may give him most to think about.
