Archive⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-8| J: Emma Smith-Chaston| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 89| D

14/1

Best run back hurdling in recent months when fourth (Major Snugfit second) over C&D last weekend. Likely to be competitive if showing up here in similar form.

Form: 553/9-74

Major Snugfit^t,v⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Peter Coleman⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 89| D

5/2

Three Flat wins last year before landing back to back handicap hurdles at Sedgefield/Southwell in November. Good second over C&D in this headgear combination 8 days ago. Another bold show on the cards.

Form: 7611-32

Jack Yeats^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Theo Gillard| T: W Coltherd| OR: 88| BF

7/2

Maiden over hurdles but he reacted positively to the refitting of cheekpieces when close second over C&D 15 days ago. Player if in a similar mood this afternoon.

Form: 6644-72

Strike Of Lighting^h³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 87

9/1

Best effort yet over hurdles when sixth in a 13-runner Carlisle handicap in March, but he's failed to complete in a course handicap hurdle and chase since. Back down in trip with a hood refitted.

Form: P546-PU

Across The Channel¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: Paula Smith| OR: 86

22/1

Point winner but no better than modest form over hurdles/fences for Philip Hobbs. Did shape a bit better when fifth over C&D on stable debut a fortnight ago. Needs to show he cacn build on that now.

Form: 5743-75

Chemical Warfare^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Jack Tudor| T: T Collier| OR: 78

10/3

Modest maiden. Respectable 7 lengths third of 9 over C&D 15 days ago. Another who can't be discounted.

Form: 4306-43

Geyser^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Thomas Willmott| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 73

16/1

Winless since 2019, although he did look to be making headway when a blunder 2 out halted his momentum over C&D last time. Cheekpieces worn then are retained.

Form: P/P0P-96

That's Your Lottie^h,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Bruce Lynn| T: K Scott| OR: 69

13/2

Arrives below par, finishing fifth over C&D 15 days ago. Others are preferred again.

Form: 244P-45

Forecasts

Major Snugfit (5/2), Lady Babs (3/1), Chemical Warfare (10/3), Jack Yeats (7/2), That's Your Lottie (13/2), Strike Of Lighting (9/1), Archive (14/1), Geyser (16/1), Across The Channel (22/1)

MAJOR SNUGFIT arrives in good form and can land a third hurdle success. Lady Babs ran well on last month's Market Rasen reappearance and will be a threat if as effective away from the Lincolnshire venue. Jack Yeats should also have a say if he can reproduce the form he showed here last time.
