Oxwich Bay²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Lewis Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 105| CD

14/1

Back to form with a win and 2 seconds over fences this spring but he needs to shrug off a lesser run at Ludlow recently. Last season's hurdle runs were no more than respectable.

Form: 6P21-24

Watergrange Jack³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 103

4/6

Irish bumper winner has shown fair form over hurdles for this yard, running his best race when second of 10 in Uttoxeter handicap last month. Left on the same mark and the form has been boosted since.

Form: 18240-2

Prison Break¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 104| CD

3/1

Fair winner on Flat for Richard Fahey and stepped on his first 2 hurdle efforts when making a successful handicap debut in this sphere over C&D 14 days ago. Well on top at the finish so should remain competitive up 6 lb.

Form: 3-31

Searching^p¹⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 87

33/1

Has rather lost his way since a Market Rasen win in summer 2020. Could only consider if backed on this return from 5 months off.

Form: 657840-

Lady Samson^t1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 93

20/1

No better than modest form when in the frame in a pair of novice hurdles here in recent weeks but it wouldn't be a surprise to see her fare better now making a quick switch to handicaps.

Form: 8-24

Meechlands Magic^p,t³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Jones| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 71

8/1

Showed ability in bumpers. Yet to offer anything over hurdles but he can have a line put through his Ludlow handicap debut last month (pulled up early). 6 lb out of the weights.

Form: 64888-P

Forecasts

Watergrange Jack (4/6), Prison Break (3/1), Ladykiller (3/1), Meechlands Magic (8/1), Oxwich Bay (14/1), Lady Samson (20/1), Searching (33/1)

WATERGRANGE JACK has had the form of his latest Uttoxeter second boosted by the third and fourth winning since so he's selected to strike from the same mark. Recent C&D scorer Prison Break can give him most to do ahead of Ladykiller.
