Last of 5 over fences at Wincanton 8 days ago on his first start for Evan WIlliams but is fairly treated on his best hurdle exploits if bouncing back to form.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 103

5/2

Not given an unduly hard time when fourth on her 2m Uttoxeter reappearance and appeals as one who could have more to offer now switching to a handicap. Also has cheekpieces added. Interesting.

Form: 251/26-4

9/2

Winner of of a pair of 2m handicap chases for this yard. Went off too hard when fourth at Musselburgh last time and of some interest now having first start in a handicap over hurdles.

Form: 127-124

Phoebus Lescribaa¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 98

5/1

Won 19f Warwick handicap hurdle at the turn of the year but his 2 runs this season have bene underwhelming. The return of cheekpieces needs to help him.

16/1

Modest form on the Flat/in juvenile hurdles for Mick/David Easterby but is less exposed than a lot of these now switching to handicap company for the first time over hurdles.

Forecasts

Lady Tremaine (5/2), Gouet Des Bruyeres (9/2), After The Fox (5/1), Von Melas (11/2), Phoebus Lescribaa (13/2), Green Or Black (12/1), Taqwaa (16/1), Applesandpierres (25/1), Borak (25/1), Dee Lane (33/1), Angel's Envy (50/1)

LADY TREMAINE appeals as one who could have more to offer now handicapping for a good yard so she's the suggestion. Gouet des Bruyeres went off too hard over fences last time and he's feared most ahead of Green Or Black, who has been given a chance by the handicapper.
