Lord Sparky^b,t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: R T Dunne| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR: 101| C

9/2

Fair winner over hurdles who gained breakthrough victory over fences here (19.9f) in December and back to form to win over same C&D last month. Respected back up in trip given record here.

Form: 421PP1

Stylish Dancer¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 98| D

5/4

Bounced back to form when readily winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford and followed up off the same mark with bags to spare on chase bow at Warwick. 11 lb higher now but remains of interest.

Form: 798/911

Mackie Dee^h²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Armson| OR: 97| C| D

13/2

Dual-winning pointer who got back on track when making winning chase bow over C&D under this rider before good second to Lord Sparky back from a break here last month. Should go well again.

Form: 44/0912

Puppet Warrior^v1¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 95

12/1

Maiden hurdler who matched previous best over fences when plugging on for third over C&D and shaped quite similarly when fifth at Chepstow since. Change of headgear.

Form: 886335

Arthur's Reuben^p,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: James Davies| T: S Curran| OR: 83| CD

4/1

Took advantage of a much-reduced mark on third start for this yard at Chepstow 18 days ago. Remains on a good mark on best form and is a C&D winner.

Form: 4U6-4P1

Push Ahead^p⁹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-8| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 80| D

125/1

Little form over hurdles and well held on handicap/chase bow at Fakenham on belated return.

Form: 74/870-6

Witches Glen^t¹³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 77

50/1

Had shown some aptitude on chase bow but bombed out next 3 starts.

Form: 4P/48-PP

Frilly Frock^t¹³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mason| OR: 77| D

22/1

Unexposed as a chaser and managed to land a weak handicap at Wincanton despite being out of the weights. Didn't get home in testing conditions there next time and remains unexposed.

Form: P7031P

Dapa Lad^p,t⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: S Curran| OR: 76

14/1

Little show over hurdles/novice handicap chase and probably flattered by losing margin in AW jumpers' bumper last time. Improvement needed.

Form: P-909P0

Non-Runners

Cap'n²⁰

Weight: 11-0| Age: 10

T: A West J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Stylish Dancer (5/4), Arthur's Reuben (4/1), Lord Sparky (9/2), Mackie Dee (13/2), Puppet Warrior (12/1), Dapa Lad (14/1), Frilly Frock (22/1), Cap'n (33/1), Witches Glen (50/1), Push Ahead (125/1)

STYLISH DANCER has hit form of late and had loads in hand when making a winning start over fences at Warwick 2 weeks ago, so she is taken to defy an 11 lb rise. Arthur's Reuben won on his third start for this yard at Chepstow and remains fairly treated, while Lord Sparky has a good record here.
