Vinnie The Hoddie³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: David Noonan| T: Miss G Haywood| OR: 119

40/1

Failed to build on stable debut when only ourth of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 36 days ago. Switches to hurdles now and needs to bounce back.

Form: 147P-34

Samtara¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 116

4/1

15/2, good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, soft) 19 days ago. Not dismissed in search of his first victory.

Form: 229-282

Vaziani^p³⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 115

33/1

Fair 3m winning hurdler but off since pulled up in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f) 12 months ago. Back over hurdles for his comeback with his fitness to prove.

Form: 29310/P-

Honor Grey²⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 115

6/1

Fair maiden hurdler but he ran poorly on his handicap bow at Sandown (19.8f, heavy) 8 months ago. Yard goig well, so no surprise to see him bounce back on his seasonal return.

Form: 44/4428-

Moon King^p,t²⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 115

7/2

Useful Flat stayer who also landed 20f Musselburgh maiden hurdle and Newcastle bumper last winter. Into handicaps for his return and has to be taken seriously with few miles on the clock hurdling.

Form: 4311-

Off The Planet²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 115

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden who returned after 6 months off/wind op with good third in novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to soft). Should have more to offer now handicapping. Considered.

Form: 5/7P4-3

Certainly Red²²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs L Richards| OR: 114

11/2

Gained his breakthrugh win in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (24.7f, soft), quickening clear. Off 7 months but still needs a second look given he has gone well fresh before.

Form: 8/23541-

Silver In Disguise^t1²⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 113| C| DWS

15/2

Signed off last term with 20f novice win over fences here. Back over hurdles after a wind op with tongue strap on now and this winning pointer is not taken lightly with few miles on the clock.

Form: 1/53911-

Dr Des^b³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 109

16/1

Winless since 2019, but posted respectable fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to show more now, though, if veteran is to add another success.

Form: 354-P55

Oxwich Bay²²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106| BF

12/1

Ended last term in good nick over fences, scoring at Sedgefield (21f). Revertts to hurdles after 7 months off and can't be discounted for his in-form yard.

Form: 422412-

Forecasts

Moon King (7/2), Samtara (4/1), Certainly Red (11/2), Off The Planet (11/2), Honor Grey (6/1), Silver In Disguise (15/2), Oxwich Bay (12/1), Dr Des (16/1), Vaziani (33/1), Vinnie The Hoddie (40/1)

MOON KING hails from a yard in good nick so this one-time useful Flat stayer is taken to make a winning return and build on his Musselburgh hurdling success when still looking inexperienced in this sphere. Silver In Disguise is another with few miles on the clock and he is feared most on the back of a wind op, with Off The Planet not ruled out either if building on his recent Warwick third.
