Iconic Muddle⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 121| BF

7/4

Fairly useful 21f hurdle winner. Encouraging start to chase career in 2 outings 4 months apart last season and was strong in betting when hampered and unseated at the second at Plumpton 9 days ago.

Form: 321/32-U

Shiroccan Roll⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 119

10/3

Winning hurdler who shaped encouragingly sent chasing after 5 months off at Exeter, jumping soundly in the main. Can improve and one to consider.

Form: P/12543-

Siannes Star¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 115| D

18/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Too free back over fences here after 12 weeks off and not much better at Warwick since, jumping none too fluently.

Form: 33784-5

Present From Dubai⁵⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 114| D

14/1

Dual 2m hurdles winner in light 2019/20 campaign. Much better effort over fences last season when third of 4 in handicap chase at Plumpton but it was still some way shy of his best hurdling form.

Form: 161/563-

Hit The Rocks^h1⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102

10/1

Fair winner at 12f on Flat. Patchy record over hurdles but best effort for a while when second at Plumpton last month. Makes chase debut. Hooded for 1st time.

Form: 2/40652-

Dunbar^t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 97

5/2

Fair hurdler in Ireland and winner of a maiden point in October. Mixed record for this yard since, though latest third at Ffos Las was creditable.

Form: 16454-3

Forecasts

Iconic Muddle (7/4), Dunbar (5/2), Shiroccan Roll (10/3), Hit The Rocks (10/1), Present From Dubai (14/1), Siannes Star (18/1)

The form of ICONIC MUDDLE's 2 placed efforts over fences last season have worked out well in recent weeks and he's worth another chance having been hampered and unseated at the second at Plumpton 9 days ago when strong in the betting. Shiroccan Roll looked a natural over fences when third on his chase bow at Exeter and is feared most.
