Outcrop^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 110

17/2

Fair hurdler who struck at the second time of asking over fences at Market Rasen (17.2f) in November. Disappointing next 2 starts but returned to form when second of 4 at Bangor 2 weeks ago. Player.

Form: 42165-2

Katalystic³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107

25/1

Resumed winning ways at Perth in August, but was below form at that venue after 6 months off last time.

Form: 53/1434-

Methodtothemadness^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 105

9/1

Fair winner at 17f over hurdles, but unseated at the first when in mid-division on her Perth chasing debut 16 days ago.

Form: 38686-U

Millarville^p²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Bewley| T: Mrs H O Graham| OR: 102

11/1

Dual-hurdles winner for Oliver Sherwood. Shaped better than the result suggests after 6 months off at Kelso 24 days ago, so not one to write off back down in trip having eased further in the weights.

Form: F8682-5

Coral Blue²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Alain Cawley| T: D Bourke| OR: 102

16/1

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth in 2½m handicap hurdle at Hexham 3 weeks ago and is not ruled out if building on that now back over fences.

Form: U7288-4

Mah Mate Bob^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 101

7/1

Three-time winner over fences during 2019/20 season. Failed to match that form last term but has run respectably at Hexham the last twice.

Form: 5/443-24

Damiens Dilemma^p⁴⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 101| C

14/1

Course winner who posted good efforts at Newcastle and at Kelso in March. Well below form at latter venue (21.6f) last time but the drop in trip wasn't in his favour. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 978326-

Alf 'n' Dor²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Reed| T: T Reed| OR: 98| D

9/1

Returned from a lay-off for new stable to win handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Still has scope on old form from 3 lb higher, so definite player if backing that up.

Form: 9P4PP/1

Lostnfound²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 96| D

14/1

Posted a good second at Fakenham in March, but isn't easy to catch right and has run below form both subsequent starts.

Form: 09027-7

Nefyn Point¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 93| BF

7/2

Winning hurdler who ran respectably sent chasing when third in 19.4f handicap at Stratford (soft) 13 days ago, staying on late. Respected off same mark.

Form: 29693-3

Iconic Hero^p1,t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 87

20/1

Modest form over hurdles/fences. Perhaps needed the run after 6 months off when well held at Hexham 11 days ago, but hardly has a convincing profile overall.

Form: 240F8-6

Muroor^v¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Max Kendrick| T: V Thompson| OR: 84

28/1

Unreliable type who suffered a heavy fall at Hexham at the beginning of the month and ran no sort of race at Sedgefield 10 days later.

Form: 62P5-F6

No No Mac^b¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: I A Duncan| OR: 84| D

6/1

On a lengthy losing run and recent efforts hardly encouraging.

Form: P9434-6

Farlam King^t¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: M A Barnes| OR: 69

66/1

Poor maiden handicap hurdler/chaser and record stands at 0-23 after pulling up at Hexham 11 days ago.

Form: 82360-P

Forecasts

Nefyn Point (7/2), No No Mac (6/1), Mah Mate Bob (7/1), Outcrop (17/2), Methodtothemadness (9/1), Alf 'n' Dor (9/1), Millarville (11/1), Damiens Dilemma (14/1), Lostnfound (14/1), Coral Blue (16/1), Iconic Hero (20/1), Katalystic (25/1), Muroor (28/1), Farlam King (66/1)

A chance is taken on MILLARVILLE, who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests after 6 months off at Kelso and looks interesting now back over shorter with that behind her. Outcrop and Nefyn Point are a couple of others with decent claims.
