Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 112| CD

1/1

Made the most of another good opportunity to double hurdles tally in 6-runner C&D novice (good) 10 days ago, comfortably. Strong claims back in handicap company.

Form: 154231

Cockney Beau⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 103

11/4

Fair performer who faced a stiff task behind 2 decent prospects on his return at Wetherby (19.7f) last month, left behind approaching 3 out. Could get more competitive now handicapping.

Form: 35/044-3

Snowy Clouds⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 102

2/1

Point bumper winner (dead-heated) who showed some promise first 2 starts over hurdles. Ran poorly on qualifying run at Wetherby though, so needs to get back on track now handicapping after a break.

Form: 1-650

Forecasts

Malpas (1/1), Snowy Clouds (2/1), Cockney Beau (11/4), Augharue (6/1)

MALPAS doesn't strike as being particularly well treated, but he looks the most solid option so gets the nod to follow up his recent C&D win. Cockney Beau faced a stiff task behind a pair of above-average prospects on his return at Wetherby and should be more competitive now going handicapping.
