Do Ya Feel Lucky³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 100

10/1

Ex-Irish who scored narrowly at Worcester (23f) in August and set to go very close prior to falling last at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in October. Ridden too aggressively at Doncaster since.

Form: 5P-71F4

Holly James^b⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 95

14/1

Seems to be going the wrong way and ran no sort of race last 4 starts.

Form: 255309

Baily Gorse²¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 94

80/1

Maiden in Ireland who ran well when second on British debut at Chepstow but merely underlined inconsistency next time and well held back over fences since. Off 7 months and has changed yards again.

Form: 04/82-0P

Gosuatri^t1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 93

4/1

French bumper winner. Limited impact over hurdles during the spring but big improver when third on handicap bow at Chepstow on return. Well held sent chasing next time. Tongue tied back over timber.

Form: 1/46-636

Anuas Ar An Bpost⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: David Bass| T: David Dennis| OR: 91

9/1

Poor maiden handicapper in Ireland. Needs to improve to make a winning start for this yard.

Form: 008300

The Denholm Bandit^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Kieron Edgar| T: W S Kittow| OR: 89

5/1

Cheekpieces on when good third in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good) on final start last season. Given a considerate reappearance at Uttoxeter and enters calculations with headgear back on.

Form: 085P3-0

Golden Glory^p,t²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens| OR: 88

11/1

Maiden who ended last season with 2 poor efforts but shaped quite well when fourth at Ludlow on return and was running creditably (disputing third) when unseating at last at Ffos Las next time.

Form: 7708-4U

Freddie Darling⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 85

18/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Harry Fry but struggled when switched to handicaps and fared little better when switched to fences for this yard. However, potentially well treated back in this sphere.

Form: P0-P8PP

Bellamy's Grey²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: M G Nolan| T: C J Gray| OR: 84

9/2

Ran creditably in a race run to suit when third over C&D last month but he's a long-standing maiden and there is no guarantee he'll repeat that.

Form: 953-P83

Galactic Power²⁹⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: R Dickin| OR: 82| C

17/2

Veteran who hasn't got his head in front for a while but acquitted himself with credit on each of his 4 starts last season, latest when third at Taunton (23.9f) in March. Contender if ready to go.

Form: 04/2423-

Kapitaliste^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: J E Moore| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 78

12/1

Maiden. Underwent breathing surgery before pulled up in 20f handicap chase at Plumpton 29 days ago. Has questions to answer back over hurdles.

Form: 4227-6P

Scrumpy Boy²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Alan Johns| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 72

14/1

Long-standing maiden who was well held on yard debut after over 3 years off in Plumpton maiden last month. 2 lb out of weights.

Form: 55442/9

Forecasts

Gosuatri (4/1), Bellamy's Grey (9/2), The Denholm Bandit (5/1), Galactic Power (17/2), Anuas Ar An Bpost (9/1), Do Ya Feel Lucky (10/1), Golden Glory (11/1), Kapitaliste (12/1), Holly James (14/1), Scrumpy Boy (14/1), Freddie Darling (18/1), Baily Gorse (80/1)

GOSUATRI disappointed on his chase bow at Bangor but he was a very good third on his handicap bow over hurdles at Chepstow prior to that so is worth another chance back in this sphere. The Denholm Bandit should prove all the better for his reappearance and is considered with cheekpieces back on, while Freddie Darling is potentially on a good mark back over timber.
