10/11

Useful performer who quickly put his Hereford return effort behind him when running out a convincing winner of Ludlow hunter (20f) 8 days ago. Of obvious interest if turning up in the same form here.

Form: F1P3-P1

Not That Fuisse¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 12-2| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 130| C| D

13/8

Useful chaser who made most of good opportunity when off the mark in this sphere at Fakenham (3m) 2 weeks ago, needing to be asked for his effort only late on. Drop in trip will hold no fears and he's a big player.

Form: 24-P3B1

Drakes Well^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: F Hutsby| OR: 112| D

11/2

Fair and consistent hurdler/chaser for David Bridgwater who got off the mark for present yard in a novices' hunter at Stratford (21f) last month, albeit capitalising on late error from main rival. More needed in this line-up.

Form: 2353U1

Full Trottle^t³²⁹

Age: 13| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: Miss L Thomas| OR: 100| D

28/1

Prolific winning hunter chaser during first spell for this yard but only one real effort of note in handicap chases during 2020/21 campaign for Jennifer Mason. Returns from 11 months off now and others more persuasive.

Form: 1/85F2-P

Forecasts

Stratagem (10/11), Not That Fuisse (13/8), Tango De Juilley (9/2), Drakes Well (11/2), Full Trottle (28/1)

NOT THAT FUISSE made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in hunters at Fakenham 2 weeks ago and earns the vote to build on that and score again with the drop back in trip expected to hold no fears. Stratagem put his best foot forward to score himself at Ludlow 8 days ago and is a big player if replicating that here.
