Havana Hermano^p²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 127

9/2

Resumed winning ways back over hurdles in determined fashion at Uttoxeter and just failed over this C&D last month. Big player off same mark.

Form: 52-1832

Some Buckle^p1²²⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: Fergus Gregory⁽³⁾| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 125| D

150/1

Useful in his pomp but offered little on his belated return to Rules in January and has since changed yards again. Headgear on.

Form: 3197/PP-

Outonpatrol⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: A King| OR: 125| D

9/2

Hurdles winner who was well backed to make a successful chase debut at Ludlow. Not so good after a wind op at Aintree but firmly back on track when second at Worcester, beaten only by a handicap blot.

Form: 278-142

Organdi³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 123

5/1

Three hurdle wins in 2019 but seen only twice last term, falling on chase debut at Ludlow. Much better in this sphere when 3 lengths third at Uttoxeter on return last month and remains unexposed.

Form: 317/8F-3

2/1

Back to form of late and ended losing run over this C&D last week, forging clear in blinkers/tongue strap combination. Obvious claims under a penalty.

Flying Verse^b,t²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: David Dennis| OR: 107| C| D

9/1

Forecasts

Wishfull Dreaming (2/1), Havana Hermano (9/2), Outonpatrol (9/2), Organdi (5/1), Ocean Cove (7/1), Flying Verse (9/1), Fingerontheswitch (22/1), Some Buckle (150/1)

WISHFULL DREAMING had been threatening to come good and duly ended his losing run in impressive fashion over C&D last week. He remains potentially well treated under a penalty so looks the one to beat again. Havana Hermano only just failed over C&D last time and rates a big threat off an unchanged mark, while Outonpatrol was beaten only by a handicap blot at Worcester and is still unexposed.
