Hats Off To Larry^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

17/2

Fairly useful Flat winner but has failed to take to hurdling, finishing a well-held fourth in 2m Perth handicap 15 days ago. This weaker again but he will need to step up on that latest run.

Form: 64/9904-

Military Tactic²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Luca Morgan⁽³⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 88

15/2

Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat for Saeed bin Suroor in 2019. Comfortably held in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles this spring but his form could take off in handicaps.

Form: 867-

Brickadank³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 84

11/4

Poor form, including a couple of handicaps this spring. Needs to find improvement.

Form: 4/57897-

Fast Deal¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Harry Kimber⁽⁵⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 88

66/1

Regressive maiden on the Flat and no show in 3 hurdles starts. More chance now handicapping but still hard to make a case for.

Form: 854-

The Come Back Dude^t¹⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Miss C Dyson| OR: 82WS

33/1

Little impact in points and well held in maiden hurdles. Has had a wind op ahead of switch to handicaps.

Form: PPP/060-

Danger Money^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁶⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 87

7/2

Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland for Andrew Oliver. Hurdles efforts to date low key but it's possible he could prove a different proposition in handicaps.

Form: 4679-

Out By Six⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: R Potter| OR: 78| BF

9/2

Just glimmers of ability to date and pulled up on handicap bow at Exeter in November (sole start for Tom Symonds). New trainer had a winner the other day. Worth a precautionary market check.

Form: 9/695P9-

Martha's Dream¹⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Conor Ring| T: Miss Sarah Robinson| OR: 72

150/1

No impact in 4 starts to date, pulling up on Hereford handicap debut in November.

Form: 5P0/P-

Jean Mary¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Fergus Gillard| T: B Ellison| OR: 77

17/2

Yet to show any form of note on the Flat or over hurdles, including when starting out for Brian Ellison in low-grade AW Flat handicap 11 days ago.

Form: P64-

Naasik^v²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Philip Armson⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Norton| OR: 70

8/1

Remains a maiden after 24 starts. Respectable run from out of the handicap at Southwell 24 days ago but others are preferred for win purposes again.

Form: 34/9P94-

Forecasts

Brickadank (11/4), Danger Money (7/2), Out By Six (9/2), Military Tactic (15/2), Naasik (8/1), Hats Off To Larry (17/2), Jean Mary (17/2), The Come Back Dude (33/1), Fast Deal (66/1), Martha's Dream (150/1)

The level of form that DANGER MONEY and Military Tactic achieved on the Flat suggests that they really ought to be doing some damage from modest opening handicap marks over hurdles, with the former narrowly preferred. Naasik gets to race off his proper mark this time and may prove best of the remainder.
