Ted's Friend⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Max Kendrick| T: F O'Brien| OR: 117

3/1

Fairly useful hurdler who scored at Plumpton in November. Only eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f) 80 days ago though, so he needs to bounce back.

Form: 1-25158

Hoochygoochyman⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: N Lampard

150/1

200/1, last of 6 in novice at Plumpton (20.5f) on hurdles bow 78 days ago. Big step forward is required.

Form: 5-0066

Forecasts

Iron Bridge (2/9), Ted's Friend (3/1), Hoochygoochyman (150/1)

IRON BRIDGE possesses much the best form and is confidently expected to make it 3-3. Ted's Friend looks the one to chase home Jonjo O'Neill's promising sort in this weakly-contested event.
