Off time: 17:16 | Winning time: 6m 12.61s

Rabble Rouser^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr N Bashford⁽⁷⁾| T: T R George| OR: 105

40/1

In first-time cheekpieces, showed much more than on previous 2 starts in maidens when third of 4 at Chepstow (23.6f) last month. Needs to build on that effort making handicap debut now.

Form: P83

Auditoria²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 102

5/1

Off the mark over hurdles in novice at Catterick (15.7f) in December. Creditable fourth in mares' handicap at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 22 days ago. Could go well upped further in trip.

Form: U21544

Farmer's Gamble⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 102

10/3

Lightly raced type who won in spite of the drop in trip at Wincanton (15.2f) in February. Only sixth on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f) since but this longer distance should suit. Major player.

Form: 4416

Beep Beep²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr Zac Baker| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 100

16/1

Going the right way over hurdles, third of 4 in novice at Ludlow (21.2f) 23 days ago. Form might not amount to much but could have more to offer again now up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: P-743

World Trip^b,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 95| CD

9/2

Won division of this race in 2021 and got back to winning ways in handicap at Huntingdon (25f) last month. Failed to back that up when fourth at Wetherby 20 days ago but she can bounce back returned to this course.

Form: 6P5214

Hattaab¹⁶⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Alisa McClung⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 94

50/1

Fair 23f hurdle winner for Graeme McPherson but struggled for form since, already off the bridle when fell at the second on yard debut in November.

Form: 19854F

Dequall^b¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Jack Holliday⁽⁷⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 93

3/1

Running well in the main this season without getting his head in front, finishing in the frame in handicap hurdles (around 25f) both starts in February. However, below form at Sedgefield 12 days ago.

Form: 362435

Late Date^p⁴⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 83| CD

12/1

Won this race back in 2017 and ended losing streak stretching back over 2 years when taking 25.3f Catterick handicap on New Year's Day. Not in the same form at Sedgefield both starts since though.

Form: 277105

Emirat De Catana⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Molly Landau⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 81| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Temperamental sort who regained winning ways in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f) in December. Lesser efforts chasing on his next 2 starts so needs to bounce back over hurdles.

Form: 723135

Forecasts

Dequall (3/1), Farmer's Gamble (10/3), World Trip (9/2), Auditoria (5/1), Emirat De Catana (11/2), Ex S'elance (6/1), Late Date (12/1), Beep Beep (16/1), Rabble Rouser (40/1), Hattaab (50/1)

FARMER'S GAMBLE looks ready for this longer trip and can resume his progress for Dan Skelton. The 6-y-o won at Wincanton on his penultimate start despite having been outpaced and making up a lot of ground, so there should be more to come from him upped in distance. The Olly Murphy-trained pair of Auditoria and World Trip complete the shortlist.
