Torolight^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lawes| OR: 99

50/1

Went the wrong way over hurdles for Nicky Henderson and, while he's scored on the Flat this year, his return to hurdling at Huntingdon last time didn't contain much promise.

Form: 465/7P0-

Corrie Lake^v²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: T Scudamore| T: J & S Best| OR: 98

10/1

Followed a good run with a below-par one in a first-time tongue tie at this course. Finds herself down in grade in a weak event, though, so claims if she can bounce back.

Form: 823027-

Ding Ding^p²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 97| C

9/2

Six-time winner here and produced and good third on her last couple of outings, so can't be ignored in a thin race.

Form: 429033-

Uberman²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Rex Dingle| T: K Davis| OR: 89

50/1

No impact in 3 Irish points in 2019 and his efforts under Rules to date haven't been overly inspiring. Handicap debut.

Form: PFP/662-

No Drama⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P Henderson| OR: 84

7/1

Maiden pointer who hinted at encouragement in novice hurdles but was pulled up on handicap debut at Wincanton a couple of months ago.

Form: 54400P-

O'Rahilly^p²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 81| C

12/1

Put a string of inauspicious performances behind him when belying odds of 50/1 at this course in early April and, while he failed to back it up, he might fare better after more of a break.

Form: 3/74918-

Jimmy^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 80| CD

9/2

Bagged a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last term, but ended that campaign on a downer and disappointing so far this year, including over fences.

Form: 14P/PP4-

Lawtop Legend^b1²³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 76| BF

11/8

Just the one win to his name over hurdles but made positive star for this yard when runner-up at Fontwell 23 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and blinkers go on, so he's the one to beat.

Form: 489/462-

Betterlatethanneva^b,t²²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 64

22/1

Limited sort who is easily opposed from out of the weights.

Lawtop Legend (11/8), Ding Ding (9/2), Jimmy (9/2), No Drama (7/1), Corrie Lake (10/1), O'Rahilly (12/1), Betterlatethanneva (22/1), Torolight (50/1), Uberman (50/1)

LAWTOP LEGEND made a reasonable debut for Dr Richard Newland and should be fully tuned up fitness wise on the back of that, so he's an obvious choice to land this low-grade affair. Corrie Lake and Ding Ding are probably the main dangers.
