33/1

Hasn't gone on since a Fontwell juvenile success in autumn 2020, including well held on stable debut at Taunton in November. Headgear still off and others more persuasive.

Form: 6345-49

Exmoor Express^h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 102

7/2

Fair form in bumpers though yet to match that form in his qualifying runs. Looks the part and given a short break ahead of this handicap debut.

Form: 325-784

Age Of Wisdom¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 98

28/1

Fair winner over hurdles and on the level. No surprise he didn't offer much after 19 months off at Wincanton 18 days ago and this will reveal more. Usual cheekpieces still missing.

Form: 20313/P

Hititi^t³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 97

10/3

French bumper winner. Runner-up in 2m Chepstow novice hurdle in November and occupied same spot switched to handicap company at Plumpton. Repeat of that will see him involved again.

Form: 8-12F22

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 95

40/1

One Last Glance²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: T R Gretton| OR: 86| BF

11/4

Fair maiden who failed to get home having raced freely when fourth in 19f handicap hurdle here in December. Excellent second back in trip at Fakenham, for all he didn't look totally straightforward.

Form: 88-6342

Miss M^b,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 84

8/1

Down in the weights and shaped well to a point at Fakenham 16 days ago, her stamina seeming to wilt over 19f. Not out of this back slightly in distance.

My Rockstar¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs H E Rees| OR: 81

28/1

Placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points but hasn't offered much under Rules ahead of this switch to handicaps.

Forecasts

Global Wonder (2/1), One Last Glance (11/4), Hititi (10/3), Highstakesplayer (7/2), Exmoor Express (4/1), Miss M (8/1), Age Of Wisdom (28/1), My Rockstar (28/1), See The Eagle Fly (33/1), Set In The West (40/1)

GLOBAL WONDER was pretty impressive at Plumpton last week and a penalty ought not to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Hititi should be a factor again, with Highstakesplayer perhaps the pick of the handicap debutants.
