Young Wolf¹¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 132

5/1

Lost way over fences during the winter but was in good form last summer and he's back on a winning mark if a return to hurdles and a 114-day break helps to spark a revival.

Form: 1260P7-

Black Mischief^p,t⁵⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 131

11/2

Useful hurdler in 2018/19 and, having been given a chance by the handicapper, shaped as if retaining a good chunk of that ability when midfield at Aintree back from a long absence in May.

Form: F1402/6

Mr One More^p1,t⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 130

6/1

Fairly useful novice hurdler in 2017. Hasn't built on an encouraging chase debut last November and needs a return to hurdles/first-time cheekpieces to have a revitalising effect.

Form: 65/24F-3

Pilbara²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 125

3/1

Dual winning hurdler over 3m in Ireland for Emmet Mullins. Made a positive start for this yard when runner-up in a 21f chase here last month and goes off the same mark back over timber. h

Form: 5290-22

Kilmington Rose^b,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 120| CD

9/4

Has taken off in blinkers, completing a hat-trick when making all in C&D novice 20 days ago. Every chance she can keep the winning run going now returning to handicap company.

Form: 282-111

Espalion^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Scott| OR: 119

10/1

Dual handicap hurdle winner at Uttoxeter and Exeter last autumn but his 2 efforts this term have been underwhelming. Has dropped back to a winning mark but others have less to prove.

Form: 2114-87

Forecasts

Kilmington Rose (9/4), Pilbara (3/1), Breaking Waves (4/1), Young Wolf (5/1), Black Mischief (11/2), Mr One More (6/1), Espalion (10/1), Organdi (16/1)

KILMINGTON ROSE hasn't looked back since fitted with blinkers and can land a fourth win in succession. Pilbara made a solid start for new handler Suzy Smith in a chase here last month and may provide the chief threat. Young Wolf would also enter the reckoning if the market vibes are positive back over hurdles.
