Karakoram^p,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Luca Morgan| T: G Harris| OR: 100| D

9/2

Fair 2m winning hurdler who also proved consistent last season but he's yet to hit top form this term. Falling mark means he's eligible for this easier band of race. Cheekpieces given another go.

Form: 368F76

Chief Brody^p¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Kieren Buckley| T: G Harris| OR: 95| D

14/1

Exeter scorer in October but has gone into his shell since. Is just 1 lb above that mark, so well weighted if he can bounce back.

Form: 178748

Baratineur⁴⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: J B Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 94| D

6/1

Scored at Bangor last season but he's proving in and out this term. Reasonable first fist of chasing at Catterick last month but quickly back over timber.

Form: 8-383P5

Get Wishing^b1,t⁶⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Ben Godfrey| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 92| CD

9/2

Modest hurdler who has failed to complete on last 3 chase starts. Given a chance by the handicapper back hurdling in a change of headgear but drop to 2m isn't sure to suit.

Form: 48-4PFP

Jalingo^b¹⁰⁵

16/1

Form: 3/35-3P0

Shanandoa⁶⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Brace| OR: 79| D

100/1

Doesn't appear to retain much ability these days.

Form: 54P/770

Flanagans Field^b¹⁵

Age: 13| Weight: 10-1| J: Lewis Stones| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 75| CD

8/1

Veteran who took a step back in the right direction when third of 16 in handicap at Taunton (19f) last month. Struggled to land a blow back at 2m a fortnight ago.

Form: 438534

Darsi Rose^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Ben Ffrench Davis⁽³⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 74

25/1

Little in the way of worthwhile form.

Form: PP-U4P0

Serjeant Painter^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Kai Lenihan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs H E Rees| OR: 74

50/1

Fair maiden on Flat for Marcus Tregoning but no impact in 3 runs over hurdles. Low-grade handicaps are at least more suitable.

Form: 6-00

Shadow's Girl^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Max Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 73| CD

9/1

Back to form when second in 2m Plumpton selling handicap and not disgraced after 3 months off when fifth of 16 at Taunton given 2m3f trip stretched her. Tame effort at Catterick needs forgiving.

Form: 457250

Lucky Circle⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Mark Galligan⁽³⁾| T: L Hurley| OR: 70

125/1

Poor maiden on Flat and no solid form over hurdles.

Forecasts

Jumping Cats (10/3), Get Wishing (9/2), Karakoram (9/2), Baratineur (6/1), Sadma (7/1), Flanagans Field (8/1), Shadow's Girl (9/1), Time For Champers (12/1), Chief Brody (14/1), Earthly (14/1), Jalingo (16/1), Darsi Rose (25/1), Serjeant Painter (50/1), Shanandoa (100/1), Lucky Circle (125/1)

It hasn't yet clicked for JUMPING CATS over hurdles, but 2m on drying ground will help his cause and a brace of wins in jumpers bumpers confirm he possesses more ability than his current mark in this sphere. Karakoram drops in class and is a danger, along with Baratineur.
