Voodoo Doll^p⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 121

5/1

Form: 5537F2

Runswick Bay³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 118

9/2

Bumper winner who made it third time lucky over hurdles at Taunton in November. However, out of luck in handicaps since and not sure that this step back up in trip will be in his favour.

Form: 0-221P8

Steal A March^p1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 116| D

15/2

Hereford novice winner last term and reappearance third at Cheltenham (21f) was a solid effort. However, he ran no sort of a race back from a break at Uttoxeter recently and now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 414-36P

Gavrocheka¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 113

6/1

Opened hurdles account off this mark at Market Rasen last summer. Fair to say that she hasn't built on that in 3 subsequent starts, but she's certainly not one to write off just yet.

Form: 22-1304

Avoid De Master^b1¹²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112

16/5

Confirmed promise of debut for this yard when landing 6-runner handicap at Leicester in November. Below par here the following month (absent since) and connections now reach for blinkers.

Form: 677-314

Hot Ryan^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: C Honour| OR: 104

12/1

Progressive handicap hurdler for David Pipe in 2019 and not disgraced back from a lengthy absence for new yard at Taunton last month. However, bombed out next time and bit to prove now.

Form: 1132-6P

Lightonthewing²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 102

4/1

Vastly improved when easy 40/1-winner of 21f handicap at Wincanton in February. Creditable third upped to 24.7f there since and each-way chance back down in trip if handling conditions here.

Form: 00-9913

Fulgurix¹²³

Weight: 11-12| Age: 6

T: C L Tizzard J: D A Jacob

Forecasts

Avoid De Master (16/5), Lightonthewing (4/1), Runswick Bay (9/2), Voodoo Doll (5/1), Gavrocheka (6/1), Steal A March (15/2), Fulgurix (8/1), Hot Ryan (12/1)

A deserved success beckons for VOODOO DOLL, who was just touched off at Fakenham last week and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Gavrocheka will be a threat if back to the form she showed when scoring at Market Rasen in 2020, but lightly-raced handicap debutant Fulgurix may emerge as the main danger.
