River Tyne²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Charlie Case⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 97

3/1

Little impact in bumper/sole hurdle start for Dan Skelton during 2020 but confirmed the promise of her reappearance when second in a 2m Fakenham maiden on New Year's Day. Big player on handicap debut.

Form: 160/52

Green Or Black¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Edward Rees⁽⁵⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 97

12/1

Has yet to get competitive for her new stable but return to this trip will suit, so not dismissed from an easing mark.

Form: 345596

Gaia Vallis²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Alfie Jordan⁽³⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 90| C

9/2

Gained first hurdling win in 4-runner seller here (15.5f) in November and proved better than ever to follow back in handicap company at Ffos Las (21.9f). Should remain competitive following 2 lb rise.

Form: 24F211

White Hart Lady⁷²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Joe Anderson| T: H Fry| OR: 88

7/2

A touch disappointing since her bumper debut success but better signs since returning to action, gaining a first success over hurdles at Fontwell (19.2f) in November. Respected up 3 lb.

Form: 4/9F8-31

Ingeborg Zilling²⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Dylan Johnston⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 87| D

80/1

Point winner who showed more than previously without the headgear/tongue strap in a Ludlow maiden hurdle in May, but was probably flattered, so others make more appeal on this switch to handicaps.

Form: 1PP67-4

Lostnfound¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 85| D

25/1

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but ran no sort of race from 2 lb lower there 11 days ago.

Form: 7-70049

Checkitsme³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Archie Bellamy| T: M F Harris| OR: 85

16/1

Fontwell third was a step in the right direction but well beaten in handicaps last 2 outings. Handicapper continues to relent at least.

Form: 365388

Scattercash^p1¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Lewis Dobb⁽³⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 84| D

33/1

Winning pointer who has offered little all 3 starts over hurdles but at least gets a crack at handicaps now back up in trip, so precautionary market check advised. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 1/958

Fashion's Model^p1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Jack Martin⁽³⁾| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 84

13/2

Winning pointer who shaped with some promise in a novice hurdle at Hereford in November but hasn't matched that form since, including on handicap debut last time. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 15-5495

Getaway Guillaume^t⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: T R George| OR: 80

16/1

Poor form in a brace of bumpers for Geoffrey Harker and well beaten all 3 starts over hurdles for new yard, though did hint at ability last time and may do better now handicapping back up in trip.

Form: 56-698

Baby Sham³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 82

13/2

Modest 1m winner on the level but only poor form in juvenile hurdles for this yard, including in handicaps the last twice. Others preferred.

Form: P53553

Forecasts

River Tyne (3/1), White Hart Lady (7/2), Gaia Vallis (9/2), Baby Sham (13/2), Fashion's Model (13/2), Green Or Black (12/1), Checkitsme (16/1), Getaway Guillaume (16/1), Lostnfound (25/1), Scattercash (33/1), Ingeborg Zilling (80/1)

RIVER TYNE stepped up on her reappearance/stable debut when second at Fakenham on New Year's Day, and with this longer a trip a plus now moving into handicaps, she looks to have a fair bit going for her. Last-time-out winners White Hart Lady and Gaia Vallis head the dangers.
