Professor Calculus²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Buckley| T: N J Hawke| OR: 94

22/1

Robert Johnson¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Peter Coleman⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 94

11/2

Modest maiden on the Flat. Ran to a similar level in 2 starts over hurdles for current yard following 5 months off, in novice/maiden at Sedgefield. Could improve now making handicap hurdle debut.

10/1

Clear of rest when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.2f) in December. Likely to have filled the same position at Perth last time before unseating rider 2 out. More needed.

Bashful^t1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

12/1

Fairly useful Flat winner for Andrew Balding, but hasn't made much impression in 3 starts over hurdles so far. Tongue strap on 1st time as he makes handicap hurdle debut. Unexposed so could do better.

Form: P44-

Gerard Mentor^p,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: K Brogan| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 87

17/2

Better signs over hurdles of late as he has finished placed on his last 4 starts, respectable third at Taunton (16.5f) on latest outing. Can give his running but more needed for win purposes.

Form: P52233-

Cordey Dancer¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 85

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Ran creditably (in 1st time tongue tie) on handicap debut when fourth of 14 at Southwell (15.8f) 14 days ago. Might find others stronger.

14/1

Had finished down the field in 3 starts over hurdles for current yard but showed first form in this sphere when third of 14 in handicap at Southwell (15.8f) 14 days ago. A sharp 2m could suit here.

WILLIAM CODY produced a career best when runner-up at Sedgefield dropped back in distance, bumping into one who has gone on to follow up. The 5-y-o remains relatively lightly raced so he can improve again to get off the mark this time around. There are numerous dangers in the line-up, but handicap-debutants Robert Johnson and Bashful are the pair who are feared most.
