Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 115| D

9/4

Winner of back-to-back Newton Abbot novices last year and not seen to best effect on return last month. However, signs of temperament when pulled up at Market Rasen latest.

Form: 1145-4P

Fraser Island^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: R Bandey| OR: 114

8/1

Ran creditably when third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) latest. 2 lb lower now and should give another good account.

Form: 0653-63

One Handsome Dude^p,t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West| OR: 113

28/1

Calvinist¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: K Frost| OR: 106

15/2

Yet to threaten in 3 starts in 2021, latest on Flat at Redcar. Others more appealing.

Form: 9104-66

Chives⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 106

2/1

Promising sort who got off the mark with narrow victory in 9-runner handicap hurdle (5/1) at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) 45 days ago. 6 lb higher now but could have more to offer yet.

Form: 633-1

Ever So Much^p¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-1| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 104| D

11/2

Back to winning ways in 8-runner handicap hurdle (7/1) at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 17 days ago, shaken up to assert. 5 lb rise fair and must enter calculations.

Form: P658-31

Christopher Robin^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: T R Gretton| OR: 101

11/1

Returning from 7 months off when below-par third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good) 29 days ago. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 1424F-3

CHIVES remains open to improvement and is taken to add to last month's Bangor victory. Drumlee Watar and Ever So Much are feared most.
