Skandiburg^t⁷⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 143

9/2

Progress stalled for Olly Murphy but produced a career best fitted with tongue strap when close second at Doncaster on debut for this yard in March. That form looks solid so needs considering.

Form: 110/432-

Jarveys Plate²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Liam Harrison⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 140

13/2

Looked better than ever when making first hurdles start over 3m a winning one at Newbury in March. Rather put in his place by Jersey Wonder at Exeter 4 weeks ago, though.

Form: F/56212-

Perfect Man^p,t³³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-12| J: Adrian Heskin| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 129| D

18/1

Ended time with Olly Murphy with Leicester selling win in December. Mixed record since and others have more appealing profiles.

Form: 15740P-

Encore Champs³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 129| BF

6/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler who matched that form over fences for Warren Greatrex. Both efforts for this yard have been underwhelming but still early days.

Form: 617P/50-

Lord Accord^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 128

10/3

Ran out a comfortable winner on hurdles debut over 19f at Fontwell in October and improved on second start in handicaps when runner-up at Ayr, clear of rest. Remains unexposed.

Form: 11U762-

Canyon City⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 127| D

15/2

Has slipped in the weights and best effort for a while when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to firm, 20/1) 42 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 3/35P84-

South Terrace²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 120

11/4

Much improved when landing gamble in Catterick maiden, overcoming trouble and asserting well. Disappointed on handicap debut for this yard but good second in Worcester novice since. Still unexposed.

Form: 2/64132-

Forecasts

South Terrace (11/4), Lord Accord (10/3), Skandiburg (9/2), Encore Champs (6/1), Jarveys Plate (13/2), Canyon City (15/2), Perfect Man (18/1)

LORD ACCORD took a step forward on his second handicap start when runner-up at Ayr last month, coming clear with a last-time-out winner, and should go well again off 2 lb higher. Skandiburg made an excellent debut for this yard when going close at Doncaster and is another to consider, while Canyon City took a step back in the right direction off his reduced mark at Haydock.
