Tommie Beau⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 103| D

11/8

Arrives on a hat-trick after recent handicap wins at Plumpton and Hexham (23.3f). Up another 3 lb but remains the one to beat.

Form: 0504-11

Say Nothing^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 100

5/1

11/2, good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Much respected in search of her first victory.

Form: 2562P-3

Sense Of Adventure¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Allan| OR: 100

50/1

Modest maiden hurdler for Dan Skelton who offered little on chasing bow/sole run for John Whyte here earlier in the month. Back hurdling for another new yard with lots to prove.

Form: 0/73P-54

Gentle Rose¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 91

9/1

20/1, below-form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Has work to do if she's to open her account here.

Form: 5042P-9

Rebel Leader²¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 89WS

11/4

Still to get his head in front, and pulled up in 3m handicap at Ffos Las on final run for Harry Whittington 7 months ago. Since had wind op and figures on a handy mark if resurgent for his new yard.

Form: F/3P87P-

Just Once^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 87

10/1

Back on song when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Remains winless, but she holds each-way claims.

Form: 06887-2

Lucou^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 78

16/1

Fair hurdler at his best but he arrives under a cloud, pulled up in 2m handicap at Southwell 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip with lots of work to do.

Form: P7374-P

Silvretta Schwarz¹⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: M Young| OR: 68

100/1

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser nowadays. Pulled up in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f) in February when last seen on the track. Easy to oppose.

Forecasts

Tommie Beau (11/8), Rebel Leader (11/4), Say Nothing (5/1), Global Agreement (7/1), Gentle Rose (9/1), Just Once (10/1), Lucou (16/1), Sense Of Adventure (50/1), Silvretta Schwarz (100/1)

TOMMIE BEAU still has few miles on the clock and is hard to look beyond in his hat-trick bid, also showing a good attitude when scoring at Hexham five day ago. Handily-weighted Rebel Leader could be the one to give him most to do if a wind op and yard switch sparks a resurgence, with in-form Global Agreement appealing as the pick of the remainder.
