33/1

Landed handicap chase/hurdle double at Fontwell 7 months apart but he's a lazy sort and didn't fancy it in cheekpieces on his last 2 starts to end 2021. Since left Chris Gordon and visor is back on.

Form: 271-1PP

6/1

Plenty of encouragement in 2 bumpers in February and showed promise starting out over hurdles when third at Fontwell a month later. Heavy defeats this term and up markedly in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 2353-77

10/1

Runner-up both starts in bumpers and hit frame in pair of novice hurdles at up to 20.5f after. Last completed start in handicaps and this will hopefully reveal a lot more in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 2/2330-F

Atakan⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: T Scudamore| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 106

9/1

Bred more along Flat lines and achieved similar form in his trio of qualifying runs to end 2021. In good hands but isn't certain to relish this trip now handicapping.

Form: 547

Henschke^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: W Greatrex| OR: 105

13/2

Showed benefit of breathing operation when posting a career-best second of 11 at Fontwell (21.7f) last month. Got no further than the second at Fakenham on New Year's Day.

Form: U53-22F

Dynamite Kentucky^b⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 104

4/5

Bumper winner who was perked up by blinkers when opening hurdles account at Exeter last week (23f), keeping on well. Same mark here so claims are fairly obvious.

Form: 264621

San Pedro De Senam^b,t⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102| C

28/1

Winless since 2018 but showed he retains ability when fourth in a Newbury handicap (20.5f) in March. Unable to build on that since but has dropped to a handy mark. Steps up in trip.

Form: B/647-63

Ding Ding^p⁶⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 91| C

18/1

Six-time winner here but restricted to just 2 runs this term and hard to get excited about either performance. Difficult to support despite handy mark until showing more spark.

Form: 9033-54

Forecasts

Dynamite Kentucky (4/5), Lavorante (6/1), Henschke (13/2), Atakan (9/1), Itsnotwhatyouthink (10/1), Ding Ding (18/1), San Pedro De Senam (28/1), Reallyradical (33/1)

DYNAMITE KENTUCKY is unexposed as a stayer and given he escapes a penalty for last week's Exeter success, he ought to take plenty of stopping. The Fontwell race Henschke finished second in last month appeals as being strong form and he can offer most resistance.
