Dedanser^p1³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 112

5/6

Placed in an Irish point. Fair form in his 3 starts over hurdles, finishing second in a 2½m Wetherby handicap on latest. Cheekpieces go on. Leading claims.

Fingal's Hill²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: P Atkinson

5/1

Has gone backwards since winning a Catterick bumper on debut, including well held on both starts over hurdles in recent months.

Form: 10-097

Hold Onto The Line^p1,t1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ewart

20/1

£30,000 buy after finishing second in Irish point. Modest third on Musselburgh hurdle debut in December but well held over this C&D since. First-time headgear combination needs to spark improvement.

Form: 0-237

Kidman

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Dowson| T: S Waugh

125/1

Arcadio half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Good And Hardy. Watching brief advised on debut.

Form:

Roan²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine

10/1

18/1, offered plenty to work on when third off 11 on his Musselburgh bumper debut 29 days ago. No surprise were he to play a prominent role on hurdle debut.

Form: 3

Rowdy Rustler^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107| BF

11/4

Irish point winner. Fair form in a trio of maiden hurdles for new connections. Likely to be thereabouts.

Form: P/1526

Forecasts

Dedanser (5/6), Rowdy Rustler (11/4), Peaceful Sunday (3/1), Fingal's Hill (5/1), River Meadow (13/2), Roan (10/1), Hold Onto The Line (20/1), Kidman (125/1)

If DEDANSER can pull out just a little more for cheekpieces then he's probably the one to beat. Rowdy Rustler and Peaceful Sunday aren't far behind him on form, while Roan could also be up to playing a part switched to hurdles after showing promise on his bumper debut.
