Scullys Forge⁴⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 102| D

16/1

Irish point winner who showed more than previously over hurdles when a keeping on third in a Kelso maiden (22.7f) back in December 2019. Absent since but longer trip promises to suit now handicapping.

Form: P5/1883-

Something Brewing^p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: I Jardine| OR: 99

40/1

Hurdles winner from 7 lb higher mark back in 2019. Mixed bag under various codes subsequently but he did at least fare better than of late when fourth in minor event on the Flat last month.

Form: 1P8-090

Aptly Put^t⁶⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 98

9/2

Plenty of good runs over hurdles but failed to strike. Heavy defeat over fences during second half of last year but he promises to sharpen up for January's jumpers bumper spin. Mark has eased.

Form: 09-4599

Donna's Diva¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Oakley Brown⁽³⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 89

33/1

Well beaten in bumpers and similar story in trio of mares' novice hurdles at up to 20.8f in recent months. However, she has a stout pedigree and she'll hold more chance now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 0-5P57

Style Nelson²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Kieren Buckley⁽³⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 88

22/1

Some promise when second in 2½m Musselburgh maiden in December but unable to make an impact either start in handicaps subsequently, well held over extended 20f here 3 weeks ago. More needed.

Form: 67-42F0

Border Victor^p²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 87| D

14/1

Fared better than of late when 16 lengths second of 16 here (20.3f) in December but never a threat when plugging on fourth at Ayr (20.5f) at the start of the month.

Form: 4-P3P24

Sincerely Resdev^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 83

4/1

Took advantage of reduced mark when making a winning start for this yard at Sedgefield (16.8f) in November and good placed efforts on 2 of 3 starts since. Fancied to be in the mix again.

Form: 901633

Wind Of Hope^b¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-9| J: Bruce Lynn| T: A C Whillans| OR: 82| D

6/1

Belatedly added to first success under Rules back in 2015 when successful at Ayr (3m) 12 months ago. Has yet to scale same heights so far this winter but the assessor is relinquishing his grip.

Form: P03433

Cimetta²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Colm McCormack| T: G Boanas| OR: 79

33/1

Modest form at best in bumpers for Michael Herrington last term and similar story in a trio of spins in novice hurdles for new yard this winter. One to note in betting now handicapping.

Form: 59-008

Tumbling Dice²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Alexander Fielding⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 76

9/4

Has hinted at promise when midfield on handicap debut at Market Rasen (20.6f) in December but easy to back and proved to be a disappointment both starts since. However, mark has eased plenty.

Form: 4-67699

On We Go^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁵⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 74

12/1

Not at her best in 6 starts so far this season, merely passing beaten rivals when a well-beaten sixth at Catterick (19.3f) at the start of the month.

Form: P47PP6

Simply Lucky^p,t⁸⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽³⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 67| D

66/1

Veteran who continues to show little this term, pulled up some way out at Catterick (25.3f) in January. Hard to fancy operating from out of the weights.

Form: 77-090P

Forecasts

Tumbling Dice (9/4), Sincerely Resdev (4/1), Aptly Put (9/2), Wind Of Hope (6/1), On We Go (12/1), Border Victor (14/1), Scullys Forge (16/1), Style Nelson (22/1), Cimetta (33/1), Donna's Diva (33/1), Something Brewing (40/1), Simply Lucky (66/1)

This looks decidedly trappy and it may pay to take a chance on APTLY PUT. James Moffatt's charge has gone close from higher marks in the past and, with a recent jumpers bumper spin under his belt, he may be up to shedding the maiden tag. Sincerely Resdev arrives in form and is entitled to be thereabouts, whilst Tumbling Dice and Something Brewing aren't dismissed out of hand either.
