Off time: 13:15 | Winning time: 3m 55.2s

Our Rodney^t1¹³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁶⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 102

12/1

Fair 6f winner on the Flat as a 2-y-o. Isn't really progressing over hurdles but this is a slight drop in class and he's fitted with a tongue tie for the first time.

Form: 0-3445

Lleyton²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Oakley Brown⁽³⁾| T: Justin Landy| OR: 100| D

4/1

Fair winning handicapper on Flat who got back on track back with Micky Hammond when runner-up in Newcastle jumpers bumper last month. Ungenuine side was in evidence back hurdling 3 weeks ago, though.

Form: 26902P

Rukwa¹⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: S England| OR: 99| D

11/4

Improved to land a Cartmel maiden in summer of 2019. Disappointing when last seen over hurdles in October but ended 2020 in good nick on the AW, winning at Newcastle.

Form: 4F-3687

Top Beak¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: William Marshall⁽³⁾| T: M Young| OR: 98| D

8/1

Confirmed promise of his Fakenham run when registering first win since debut success on the level in 2015 at Catterick a fortnight ago. 6 lb rise fair if he's in the same mood.

Form: 44B821

Brawny^h⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: Paula Smith| OR: 93

125/1

Failed to win on the Flat for Charlie Hills or over hurdles for Gordon Elliott. Inauspicious start for Mike Sowersby in November and soon beaten in a jumpers bumper last month.

Form: 6786P8

Aquitaine Boy²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Rachel McDonald| T: J Ewart| OR: 92

14/1

Clear signs of ability when fourth of 12 on hurdles debut at Hexham, but subsequent efforts have hardly represented steps in the wrong direction, often failing to impress with finishing effort.

Form: 4/6-4P74

Peltwell^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 89

5/1

Lightly-raced mare who responded well to a positive ride and first-time cheekpieces when causing an upset at Wincanton 3 weeks ago. Task is to now back that up.

Form: 24-6P01

Just Got To Get On³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Lorcan Williams| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 87

17/2

Fair form on first of 2 starts in bumpers but no promise over hurdles so far, absent in 2020. Handicaps may at least see him in a better light.

Form: 385/0P

Farocco^t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: K Yeoman⁽⁸⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 83

15/2

Poor maiden hurdler on balance and this trip looks inadequate.

Form: 3P5507

Kisumu^p,t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 70

22/1

Temperamental sort who is a long-standing maiden. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 476987

Non-Runners

Argus⁶³

Weight: 11-7| Age: 9

T: Alexandra Dunn J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Rukwa (11/4), Lleyton (4/1), Peltwell (5/1), Farocco (15/2), Top Beak (8/1), Just Got To Get On (17/2), Our Rodney (12/1), Aquitaine Boy (14/1), Kisumu (22/1), Argus (50/1), Brawny (125/1)

An unconvincing bunch on the whole, with RUKWA chanced from a career-low mark in this sphere having ended 2020 in good order on the AW. Top Beak snapped a losing sequence spanning over 5 years at Catterick and is a player if in the same mood, with Peltwell another last-time-out scorer.
