5/1

Well suited by the drop back to 2m when gaining reward for some consistent efforts this term in Plumpton handicap 9 weeks ago. 8 lb rise to contend with but can remain competitive.

11/4

Solid placed efforts 3 starts this term but one of this season's lesser efforts when sixth at Fontwell (19.2f, soft, 5/2) last month. Bounce back required.

Form: 66-3336

Yauthym^p1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 112| D

18/1

Well-served coming off an overly-strong gallop when resuming winning ways at Hereford (2m) in November but undone by 11 lb rise at Kempton on reappearance 23 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 134513

Astroman²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J M Quinlan| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 111

4/1

Fair winner on the Flat (stays 1½m) who has matched that form over hurdles, good second over C&D 24 days ago. Should remain competitive.

Form: 5-2232

Moon Over Germany^t1,v¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Dickin| OR: 110| D

33/1

Very useful hurdler/chaser for Henry De Bromhead but ended time in Ireland below his best and no encouragement to glean from outings for his current stable. Tongue tied added to the visor.

Form: 0-0PPP8

Natty Night³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 110| BF| D

7/1

Fairly useful on Flat for William Muir. Built on hurdles debut promise when accounting for 13 rivals in a 16.5f Taunton maiden in January but far too free on handicap bow at Ffos Las since.

Form: 414

Petty Cash²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR: 107| D

16/5

Confirmed previous promise to make a winning handicap debut at Ffos Las (15.8f) 24 days ago, having plenty more in hand than the 2½-length margin suggested. Better to come, so high on the shortlist.

Form: 5-64651

Gulliver Collonges²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 106

12/1

Has failed to build on promising second over timber at Chepstow in February last year, running no sort of race after 3 months off back over timber at Ffos Las recently. Continues to tumble in weights.

Form: 26-455P

Forecasts

Sheldon (11/4), Petty Cash (16/5), Astroman (4/1), Nashville Nipper (5/1), Natty Night (7/1), Aliomaana (7/1), Gulliver Collonges (12/1), Yauthym (18/1), Moon Over Germany (33/1)

PETTY CASH had plenty up his sleeve when making a winning handicap debut at Ffos Las last month, value for plenty more than the 2½-length margin suggested. With further improvement on the cards, Henry Daly's charge gets the nod to make light of a 7 lb rise. Sole 4-y-o Aliomaana heads the dangers on her first start in a handicap, ahead of last-time-out scorer Nashville Nipper and Astroman.
