11/2

Took a step back in right direction, in first-time visor, when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can make presence felt.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: T J O'Brien| T: A Ralph| OR: 108

4/1

Upped his game when second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, heavy) 54 days ago. Remains fairly treated and must enter calculations.

Form: 8/64P02-

Dancingwith Storms^h²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 108

9/2

Run creditably both starts since returning from lengthy absence, latest when second in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Look sure to go well again.

High Change³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 108

11/2

Temperamental sort who was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time. Since joined new yard but remains a risky proposition.

Form: 0/33P3P-

Bay Of Intrigue^h¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 107

10/1

Progressive form without getting his head in front over hurdles for John O'Shea and yet to make an impact in 2 starts for new connections.

Form: 7/5F2P7-

Touch Tight¹¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr P York⁽⁵⁾| T: P York| OR: 104

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran no sort of race on handicap bow at Fontwell in January. Plenty to prove now.

Form: 21/7456-

Who Told You⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: James Best| T: P Gundry| OR: 103

28/1

Point winner who has been handed a stiff mark based on what she's achieved under Rules but could do better up in trip.

Form: PB4/F38-

Tashunka³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 102

17/2

Ran poorly in Stratford novice hurdle last time and makes limited appeal on handicap debut.

Form: 680/3U7-

Forecasts

Glance From Clover (4/1), Dancingwith Storms (9/2), Dell Oro (5/1), High Change (11/2), Holly James (11/2), Tashunka (17/2), Bay Of Intrigue (10/1), Here's Herbie (14/1), Who Told You (28/1), Touch Tight (40/1), Amanto (66/1)

Preference is for DANCINGWITH STORMS who backed up his comeback effort when runner-up at Chepstow last month and can race off the same mark here. Glance From Clover and Holly James rate the principal dangers.
