Hasankey^v⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-2| J: Lewis Dobb⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 116

4/1

Shaping up nicely under young rider, in the process of running well when departing in luckless fashion late at Hexham 7 weeks ago. Can pick up a race like this over fences.

Form: 5-2542U

Demopolis^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 112

8/1

Edged out in similar C&D event in March but hasn't completed in a couple of class 3 events this term (had wind op prior to latest). One to keep an eye on back here.

Form: 2142-PU

Ben Brody^b¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Archie Bellamy⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 108

7/2

Veteran who has done well for this yard, returning with victory in 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle earlier this month. Better over fences but he's no banker to back that performance up.

Form: 3151P-1

Flaminger^p1¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 106| CD

2/1

Won the last running of this in 2019 and took another C&D handicap in October 2020. Had too much use made of him on return here recently and big run likely on the cards down 4 lb/fitted with headgear.

Form: 6P26P-6

Fresh New Dawn^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Gearoid Harney⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 105

10/3

Back to his best this term, opening his account over fences at Market Rasen (21.4f) last month, making all and battling well to beat a subsequent winner. Respected up 5 lb.

Form: 45-6321

Forecasts

Flaminger (2/1), Fresh New Dawn (10/3), Ben Brody (7/2), Hasankey (4/1), Demopolis (8/1), Templier (12/1)

FLAMINGER's last 2 wins have come in C&D handicaps (including this race in 2019) and he makes plenty of appeal off a career-low mark/fitted with headgear after a pipe-opener here 19 days ago. Market Rasen-winner Fresh New Dawn and Hasankey are feared most.
