Just A Deal¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 100

5/2

Hinted at ability in maiden/novice hurdles but went closer than on handicap debut when third at Huntingdon earlier this month, seeing out the longer trip well. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 09-7543

Milanstorm¹¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 99| BF

17/2

Heavy-ground bumper winner. Yet to match that level over hurdles but certainly too soon to write him off with his mark continuing to ease.

Form: 05-5383

Paddys Runner^p²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Tudor⁽³⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 98

28/1

Fair winning hurdler but somewhat underwhelming since switched to chasing and never went a yard when pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f) 29 days ago. Back over timber but limited appeal.

Form: P86-5PP

Barrakhov^t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 97

20/1

No more than hinted at ability in 4 starts to date and significantly upped in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 5559

Robsam¹⁸⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: James Best| T: M Keighley| OR: 94

14/1

Work-in-progress in bumpers/novice hurdles and improved showing when keeping on for second on handicap debut at Hexham (23.3f) in September. Remains unexposed and there may be more to come.

Form: 6/667-32

Another Frontier^p²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 94| D

8/1

Won a couple of 3m handicap chases in 2018. Not as good since, though once again set a lot to do when fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 25 days ago. Leading claims.

Form: 63-0U55

Avantgardist^t1,v1²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 92

12/1

Fair hurdler who failed to improve for first-time cheekpieces after 6 weeks off when well held at Doncaster in January. Again ran poorly at Warwick last month so visor/tongue tie now tried.

Form: 0-50940

Magnificent Ben⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Christian Williams| OR: 92| D

28/1

Winning pointer but hasn't achieved much in 4 hurdles for this yard, struggling when falling 4 out on 2m course handicap debut. Suffered same fate on chase bow last time so best watched for now.

Form: 1-040UF

Moidore¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 91

16/1

Veteran hurdler who is no better than modest nowadays and has been struggling to make an impact of late. Not disgraced back up in trip at Huntingdon 15 days ago but only has 3 wins over hurdles.

Form: 256467

Akkapenko¹⁰⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Price⁽⁵⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 90

22/1

Ran another solid race when seventh of 13 at Huntingdon on penultimate start but, unproven on the ground, was well held at Market Rasen last time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 18-2270

Rahmah^b¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: G Sheehan| T: G Deacon| OR: 90

33/1

Fair stayer on the Flat, but yet to click over hurdles, including sporting blinkers at Southwell in December. Refused to race on the Flat at Lingfield 12 days ago so is best treated with caution.

Form: 60/06-55

Hear The Chimes²⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: S A Harris| OR: 88

22/1

Veteran is sliding in the weights at present without any indication that he's about to take advantage. Down to a career-low mark but hard to fancy on recent exploits.

Form: 47-5748

Tarks Hill^h,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: R T Dunne| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 82

14/1

Didn't threaten over hurdles for Seamus Mullins last winter, including in a handicap. In headgear/tongue tie, made the frame but beaten a long way on yard debut last month so needs to build on that.

Form: 37480-4

Loch Garman Aris^p²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 81

5/1

Bumper winner who showed he retains plenty of enthusiasm after 22 months off when runner-up in 23f handicap hurdle at Bangor. Ran to similar level at Warwick since so not dismissed here.

Form: 3433/24

Tugboat²¹

Age: 13| Weight: 10-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 81| D

28/1

Veteran who showed he retains a little ability on Rules return after almost 3 years off when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Plumpton (25f, good) 3 weeks ago. Should come on from that.

Form: 345/454

Forecasts

Just A Deal (5/2), Loch Garman Aris (5/1), Another Frontier (8/1), Milanstorm (17/2), Avantgardist (12/1), Robsam (14/1), Tarks Hill (14/1), Moidore (16/1), Barrakhov (20/1), Hear The Chimes (22/1), Akkapenko (22/1), Adherence (25/1), Magnificent Ben (28/1), Tugboat (28/1), Paddys Runner (28/1), Rahmah (33/1)

This is wide open and although ANOTHER FRONTIER hasn't won for some time, recent signs suggest that could be about to change having shaped well when fifth at Huntingdon 25 days ago, ultimately being left with too much to do. Top-weight Just A Deal saw out the longer trip well last time so heads up the list of dangers, ahead of Loch Garman Aris and Milanstorm.
