9/2

Unreliable type but well treated and shaped with encouragement on first 2 starts for this yard last term. Not in same form since but has been cut further slack by the handicapper.

Form: 72/5344-

The Captains Inn^p⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 122

Winner of novice hurdles at Leicester and Uttoxeter during 2018/19 campaign, but missed whole of next season and offered little in 3 starts last term.

Form: 11P/4P4-

Commodore Barry^p,t⁵⁶

13/2

Sole success over fences came in 3-runner novice and has struggled since. Had wind operation.

Form: 41/06P5-

Licklighter^t¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan| OR: 120

9/2

Showed improved form to make winning yard debut at Bangor (20.3f) in July. Not really built on that since, however, and stamina will be tested by this longer trip.

Form: 6P/1244-

Smuggler's Blues³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 117| D

3/1

Posted another creditable effort when third of 11 in handicap chase at Haydock (25.6f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Races off same mark and likely to go well again.

Form: 522323-

That's A Given²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: Noel Williams| OR: 116

3/1

Returning from 4 months off when creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) 21 days ago. This stiffer test will suit and holds leading claims.

Form: 6025P2-

Forecasts

That's A Given (3/1), Smuggler's Blues (3/1), Licklighter (9/2), Ballycross (9/2), Commodore Barry (13/2), The Captains Inn (9/1)

THAT'S A GIVEN stuck to his task when a good second at Market Rasen last time and will appreciate the return to this longer trip. He can return to winning ways. Smuggler's Blues is feared most.
