2/1

Winner of a Huntingdon maiden hurdle and an AW jumpers bumper last winter. Hasn't yet clicked in handicaps but he may have needed the run on reappearance 18 days ago. Tongue tie on.

See The Sea^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 123| D

2/1

Likeable front runner who recorded a brace of all-the-way wins in quick times in recent weeks under this good-value conditional. 9 lb rise could well be within range.

Form: 432211

Peaked Too Soon^t³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 122| D

7/2

Fair form in bumpers and needed only to run to a similar level to win his first 2 outings over hurdles. Improved effort on the back of a wind op when third of 7 at Warwick a month ago from this mark.

Form: P-11363

Manor Park^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 119| D

33/1

Enjoyed a productive summer, winning 3 times over hurdles, and also on the level in August, but the handicapper appeared to have caught up with him when only third at Plumpton last month.

Form: 0-13113

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: T Scudamore| T: R J Smith| OR: 117| D

33/1

Won a selling handicap hurdle at Fakenham on final start for Gary Moore. Disappointing over fences for Nick Mitchell and never a threat for new yard back over timber behind Sea The Sea latest.

Form: 22-1374

9/2

Bagged her fifth win of 2021 in 9-runner contest at Stratford 11 days ago. Up 5 lb but hard to rule out in current form.

SEE THE SEA is a tough mare to contain given the rhythm she gets into and a 9 lb rise for her latest success may not prevent the hat-trick. Pillar of Steel and Glory And Honour are perhaps the main dangers.
