Mulcahys Hill^v¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 118

10/1

Useful chaser at best but not the force of old, only fifth of 6 in handicap chase (6/1) at Doncaster (20.5f, good) 12 days ago.

Form: 20/9755

Cooldine Bog²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Max Kendrick| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117

18/1

Made a positive start for new trainer when second over 3m at Musselburgh on New Year's Day but shaped as if amiss at Exeter 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.

Form: 7P-572P

Premiumaccess^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 115

11/4

Won on chase debut at Huntingdon in December 2020 but yet to build on that. However, shaped well after 11 months off when third at Fontwell 2 weeks ago and needs considering eased 2 lb.

Form: 12426-3

Esprit De Somoza^t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Chester Williams⁽³⁾| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 115| C

8/1

Much more polished returned to fences when cashing on a falling mark at Wincanton. Never looked like adding to tally there next time but wasn't disgraced to finish third.

Form: 334413

Larkbarrow Lad^b,t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 110

7/1

Temperamental sort who ran creditably in first-time blinkers when second at Wincanton last month, albeit left behind by winner. Mark eased again.

Form: 3-54352

Wick Green⁶⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Mason| OR: 110

25/1

Multiple point winner whose record under Rules is rather all or nothing so far, making a winning return/handicap bow in 4-runner event at Hereford but well held at Fakenham next time.

Form: 61-PP14

Some Detail¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Kieren Buckley⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 108| D

9/4

Thorough stayer who wasn't seen to best effect back down in trip at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago. Not on a bad mark back over fences so not taken lightly with usual headgear left off.

Form: 124374

Millbank Flyer^t⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry| OR: 107

8/1

Showed promise when placed on 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles. Bred to make a chaser (closely related to Chantry House) but struggled on chase/handicap bow at Chepstow. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 8/2P-3P

Lady Stanhow³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: James Best| T: J G Cann| OR: 92

20/1

Half-sister to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Zulu Oscar and bumper winner Ishkhara Lady. Well held in trio of hurdles events this season. Makes chase/handicap debut.

Form: 4-640

Non-Runners

Brianstorm¹⁴

Weight: 11-12| Age: 10

T: Miss V Williams J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Some Detail (9/4), Premiumaccess (11/4), Brianstorm (11/4), Larkbarrow Lad (7/1), Esprit De Somoza (8/1), Millbank Flyer (8/1), Mulcahys Hill (10/1), Cooldine Bog (18/1), Lady Stanhow (20/1), Wick Green (25/1)

PREMIUMACCESS shaped well returning from 11 months off when third at Fontwell 2 weeks ago and should go close if building on that having been eased 2 lb. Brianstorm has a patchy profile but he arrives on the back of a good run at Market Rasen, while Some Detail is potentially on a handy mark back over fences.
