Get The Appeal⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 116| BF

2/1

Responded well when making all at Musselburgh (22f) in February and resumed winning ways at Wincanton (21.4f, good, 5/2) 5 days ago, drawing clear 2 out. Merits consideration under 7 lb penalty.

Form: F34121

Craigmor^p²¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 121| D

14/1

Enhanced very good strike when making light of 14-month absence in Market Rasen handicap hurdle in July. Not seen since disappointing over fences at Perth in September so likely to need this outing.

Form: 1P-12U5

Solstice Star^p,t³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 120| CD

12/1

Has struggled since winning Uttoxeter handicap for lady riders last year and might have needed the run back there after 11 weeks off last time. Cheekpieces back on but needs more.

Form: 31-00P6

Johnny B¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Page Fuller| T: C J Down| OR: 117

10/3

Solid start to hurdling, progressing again when finishing a close third on handicap debut at Warwick 12 days ago. Should be in the mix once again from unchanged mark.

Form: 454223

Bells Of Peterboro²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 115

11/4

Has improved in good style since going handicapping, winning at Fakenham in January and finishing runner-up the last twice. Threatening to come good soon so remains of firm interest in this sphere.

Form: 21-4122

Zafar²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 111

11/2

Made the frame in handicap hurdles at Fontwell and Wincanton earlier this year but ran only respectably having held every chance at former course last month. Mark continues to fall.

Forecasts

Get The Appeal (2/1), Bells Of Peterboro (11/4), Johnny B (10/3), Zafar (11/2), Lossiemouth (6/1), Aye Aye Charlie (8/1), Solstice Star (12/1), Trixster (12/1), Craigmor (14/1)

This can go to Tim Vaughan's BELLS OF PETERBORO, who stuck at it behind a useful one when finishing runner-up at Ascot last month and can resume winning ways back down in grade here. Get The Appeal is currently at the top of her game and is feared most provided this doesn't come too soon just 5 days on from her Wincanton success, ahead of Johnny B.
