Extraordinary Man⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 113

7/4

Good claims on his placed efforts over C&D and Chepstow, the form reading well. Checked out tamely over further at Leicester 7 weeks ago but could bounce back.

Form: 37-5239

Haas Boy⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C E Longsdon

11/2

Fair form in bumpers and starts out over hurdles in a winnable contest. Worth a look.

Form: 424

Maykir²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: David Noonan| T: J R Jenkins

300/1

Modest Flat winner who has shown little in 2 runs over hurdles.

Form: 7P

Party Island⁷⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Paul O'Brien| T: D J CoakleyWS

11/1

Fairly useful five-time winner on Flat at up to 1½m. Promising start over hurdles at Leicester, though not so good at Newbury next time, and has had a wind op in his 11 weeks away. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 39

Rathmacknee³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| BF

7/2

Dead heated in Irish point on second start and shaped well in Wetherby bumper last month, keen but travelling well before fading. Could have found a good opening on first go over hurdles.

Form: P-13

Tilsworth Sammy^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Corey McGivern⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins

300/1

Poor maiden, well held over hurdles here in January. No appeal.

Form: 9

Au Jus⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M & D Easterby

80/1

Related to NH winners and showed a bit in bumper here last month. Early casualty at Catterick on hurdles debut last week.

Form: 9U

Saligo Bay¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

2/1

Fairly useful on the Flat for Roger Charlton, winner of 1½m Newbury handicap last summer. Good start over hurdles at Newbury/Plumpton for yard in recent weeks and surely up to making presence felt.

Form: 62

Danita¹¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: James Davies| T: H Main

150/1

Modest maiden on the Flat. Work to do on hurdles debut.

Form:

Haykal^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Houlihan| T: P Phelan

250/1

Fair 1½m AW winner on Flat for the Gosdens but little impact for this yard (including over hurdles).

Form: P8

Forecasts

Extraordinary Man (7/4), Saligo Bay (2/1), Rathmacknee (7/2), Haas Boy (11/2), Party Island (11/1), Hunky (33/1), Au Jus (80/1), Danita (150/1), Haykal (250/1), Tilsworth Sammy (300/1), Maykir (300/1)

Not a strong race and probably a good chance for RATHMACKNEE, who shaped well enough in a Wetherby bumper last month, to strike first time up over timber. Saligo Bay is an obvious player after a couple of good runs over hurdles for Gary Moore. Extraordinary Man is also of real interest back in trip.
