3/1
Promising sort who opened his account in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft, 6/1) 29 days ago. 6 lb higher now but may well do better yet.

Returned to form when second of 12 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Plumpton (20.5f, good) 16 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Raised 3 lb for that effort, however, and others preferred.

Remains winless, and little signs of encouragement from latest effort at Sedgefield. Cheekpieces now applied.

5/2
C&D winner who only narrowly failed to make a successful debut for new connections at Bangor (19.6f, good to soft, 16/5) 42 days ago. 3 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Ran with promise on Newbury bumper debut but has gone the wrong way since, well held when unseating rider late on at Hereford when last seen in March. Tries handicapping now.

Posted best effort yet when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 9 months ago. Return to this longer trip will suit and is worth a check in the market on debut for new yard.

Fared better than of late when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f, good to soft, 9/1) 21 days ago. No certainty to build on that, however.

Well beaten in Warwick bumper on debut and has made no impact in 3 starts over hurdles. Plenty to prove now switched to handicapping.

Forecasts

Akkapenko (5/2), Salley Gardens (3/1), Grey Flint (7/2), No Worries (9/2), Sixties Secret (11/2), Freethinker (15/2), Mcgarry (8/1), Flutiste (20/1), Handsome Samson (22/1), Ace Time (50/1), Lady Lottie (50/1), Soul Icon (66/1)

Verdict

Another chance is given to NO WORRIES, who looks nicely handicapped and had little go his way at Fontwell last week. Salley Gardens and Akkapenko rate the principal dangers.

  1. NO WORRIES
  2. SALLEY GARDENS (IRE)
  3. AKKAPENKO (FR)
