Butte Montana^t1¹⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

9/2

Ran to a fairly useful level first time up when second in a Cheltenham bumper but has been underwhelming since, including over hurdles. Back from a break with tongue tie applied.

Form: 28/64-

Calidad^h1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington

8/1

€45,000 half-brother to smart chaser Drop Out Joe. Well backed but down the field in 2 bumpers 6 months apart (had wind op in between). Hood added for hurdle debut.

Form: 0-6

Chasamax⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 117

13/8

Fine third in a big-field Cheltenham handicap in November and runner-up in a Huntingdon maiden on penultimate start. Stamina possible stretched upped to 19f last time and better expected here.

Form: 347825-

Dynamite Kentucky¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| D

15/8

Bumper winner who ran to fair level when second at Fakenham on hurdle debut (2m) 11 days ago, though was flattered by his proximity to the winner at the finish.

Form: 21/21-42

Get Up Them Steps⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J G M O'Shea| D

40/1

Fair bumper winner who shaped as if better for the run after 22 months off on hurdling debut at Newton Abbot in April, behind when falling last. Should do better.

Form: 7451/F-

Gms Prince²⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R T Dunne| T: Sarah Hollinshead

28/1

Down the field all 3 starts in bumpers, though did show a bit more than previously at Wincanton last time. Makes hurdles debut after 6 months off.

Form: 558-

High Sheriff^b1,h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson

125/1

Showed a good deal more sent hurdling in a first-time hood when fourth in a maiden at Navan (15.6f) in February. Failed to repeat that effort for new yard when pulled up at Perth since, though.

Form: 704-P

Jakamani⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: M Bradstock

28/1

Modest form in bumpers but no show either start over hurdles.

Form: 7/24007-

Rathnure Rookie²³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan

18/1

Showed some ability when second of 9 in a Kilbeggan bumper on debut in October. Subsequently sold for £40,000 and worth a look now going hurdling for new handler.

Form: 2-

Richie Valentine^p,t²⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 75

250/1

Left his bumper form well behind when runner-up in a Fontwell maiden hurdle during spring 2019, but has shown little since.

Form: 20P0/77-

Miss Blah Blah²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Rex Dingle| T: P R Webber

250/1

Behind all 3 starts in bumpers so makes little appeal on hurdle debut.

Form: 80-0

Forecasts

Chasamax (13/8), Dynamite Kentucky (15/8), Butte Montana (9/2), Calidad (8/1), Rathnure Rookie (18/1), Gms Prince (28/1), Jakamani (28/1), Get Up Them Steps (40/1), High Sheriff (125/1), Richie Valentine (250/1), Miss Blah Blah (250/1)

CHASAMAX has had a few chances now but his stamina was possibly stretched upped to 19f last time, so he's worth one more chance back at 2m. Dynamite Kentucky can provide the main threat ahead of Rathnure Rookie, who offered something to work on in a Kilbeggan bumper in October.
