Savoy Court^t¹²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: D B Hurst⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 99

50/1

Fairly useful 21f hurdle winner for Warren Greatrex in 2018 but nowhere near that level in 5 chase starts for this yard. Plenty to prove.

Form: 34U/P-PP

Whoa Black Betty⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 91| D

2/1

Improved to get off mark in 15-runner conditionals/amateurs handicap at Musselburgh (23.8f) in December. Had a bit in hand that day, so should remain competitive following 6 lb rise.

Form: 7-853P1

Tekiblue de L'Orme^p1¹¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁶⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 88

7/1

Off the mark over 20f at Carlisle in October 2019. Didn't entirely convince over fences in the autumn and had heavy ground as an excuse back over hurdles at Market Rasen in December. Headgear on.

Form: 03/1-209

Oishin^t⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: K Yeoman⁽⁸⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 87| C

7/1

Turned in best effort of the season when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/4) at Carlisle 9 days ago, despite being found to have bled afterwards. Quick turnaround a concern back up in trip.

Form: 1-97744

Luca Brasi's Boy³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Aaron Anderson⁽³⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 85| BF

9/2

Had looked limited in various company but showed much-improved form when runner-up at Catterick. Got no further than the first on chase bow at Sedgfield since but back over hurdles now.

Form: 47662U

Ardglass Star^t⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Colm McCormack| T: R Dobbin| OR: 83

28/1

Showed much-improved form when second on Catterick handicap debut last January but has been pulled up all 3 starts this season.

Form: P72-PPP

Atomic Angel²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett| OR: 81

14/1

Showed a bit on Carlisle hurdling debut but went backwards next 2 starts. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 466

Bullion⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Rachel McDonald| T: J Ewart| OR: 77

10/1

Returned to form off reduced mark when strong-finishing third of 11 in 2m handicap hurdle at Newcastle (14/1) but failed to build on that fitted with headgear at Doncaster. Back up in trip.

Form: U9-6939

Our Cilla^b⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Bruce Lynn| T: A Crook| OR: 70

18/1

Poor maiden over hurdles, pulled up on each of her last 2 starts, and she needs to step up plenty to figure here.

Form: P0-70PP

Smashing Lass¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 65

50/1

Little form over hurdles and is 8 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 6085P8

Forecasts

Whoa Black Betty (2/1), Luca Brasi's Boy (9/2), Oishin (7/1), Tekiblue de L'Orme (7/1), McCrackens Gate (9/1), Bullion (10/1), Atomic Angel (14/1), Dorette (14/1), Our Cilla (18/1), Ardglass Star (28/1), Savoy Court (50/1), Smashing Lass (50/1)

TEKIBLUE DE L'ORME probably found the ground too testing back over hurdles at Market Rasen in December and is worth another chance in first-time headgear with his yard in good form. Whoa Black Betty had a bit in hand when scoring at Musselburgh so is feared most ahead of Luca Brasi's Boy.
