The Ogle Gogle Man^p,t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 105| CD

6/4

Down in the weights and has cashed in over hurdles this month, supplementing his C&D success at Ayr 12 days ago. Drying ground to deal with this time but a major player in hat-trick bid.

Form: 7P2311

Dubh Des Champs^v²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: P A Kirby| OR: 95

7/2

Ran one of his better races after 3 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Should come on from that and he's of interest.

Form: 72-9304

Tanrudy^p⁶⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 93

20/1

Handicap chase winner from 3 lb higher in 2019. Rather in-and-out this term and stamina is an unknown up in trip on first hurdles start for 2 years. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 5-35F7P

Crank Em Up³¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: J Kington| T: S G West| OR: 89

9/1

Unreliable/moody over fences these days and beaten a long way out both hurdles starts this winter.

Form: 6P547P

Gameface⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 80

10/3

Lightly-raced hurdler/chaser who was running poorly prior to falling heavily 3 out on hurdles return at Uttoxeter in October. Also failed to complete at Catterick last month so plenty to prove.

Form: 59P7-FP

Lammturner^b1²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 75| CD

17/2

Poor handicap hurdler who seemed amiss at Wetherby in December and didn't look at all enthusiastic here a month ago. 4 lb out of the weights. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. Won this in 2019.

Form: P5-28PP

Pads¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Thomas Dowson| T: D Bourke| OR: 69

66/1

Belatedly shed maiden tag over fences at Hexham (15.6f) in December 2019. However, not matched that form subsequently, albeit he may have needed the run on recent Ayr return. 10 lb "wrong".

Form: 0-54U80

Forecasts

The Ogle Gogle Man (6/4), Gameface (10/3), Dubh Des Champs (7/2), Ciarabella (9/2), Lammturner (17/2), Crank Em Up (9/1), Tanrudy (20/1), Pads (66/1)

A motley bunch in this staying handicap hurdle, with THE OGLE GOGLE MAN rather standing out given he arrives in pursuit of a hat-trick. Dubh des Champs' temperament isn't what it could be but he should be a factor in this, with Ciarabella expected to be plugging on.
