Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 114| D

4/9

Career best when winning for the third time this season in handicap hurdle at Kempton on Monday. Able to race off the same mark so obvious claims if this doesn't come too soon.

Bay Of Intrigue^h1⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 111

16/1

Progressive form without getting his head in front over hurdles for John O'Shea. Seemed amiss starting out for this yard on handicap bow at Huntingdon. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 57-5F2P

Boltissime³⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 110| BF

16/1

Runner-up in a couple of better races than this in France but failed to meet expectations both starts for this yard last season. Off 10 months. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 22/32-

Crecerelle^t1²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: C W J Farrell| OR: 106

8/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat but just modest form over hurdles and opening mark looks harsh.

Form: 46B5

Genever Dragon^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 107

50/1

Fair maiden at up to 1m on Flat but proved stamina for hurdling when making successful start at Sedgefield. Has proved vulnerable under a penalty since and struggled on handicap bow latest.

Form: 14309

Dubheen⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 88| BF

16/1

Poor form in Ireland and ran no sort of race on debut for this yard at Taunton (said to have bled).

Form: 859-PPP

Forecasts

Hydroplane (4/9), Roar (5/1), Iron Heart (13/2), Crecerelle (8/1), Boltissime (16/1), Dubheen (16/1), Bay Of Intrigue (16/1), Genever Dragon (50/1)

HYDROPLANE justified support in good style at Kempton on Monday and should prove hard to beat off the same mark if this doesn't come too soon. Roar is feared most ahead of Bay of Intrigue.
