Dalkingstown^p,t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 105| BF| C

13/8

Dual point winner who came good over fences in Sedgefield handicap in January. Good runner-up efforts last twice (chase/hurdle) and likely to be on premises again. Tongue tie and cheekpieces he's worn separately the last twice are now combined for the first time.

Form: 1366-22

Townshend^t³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr Jamie Neild⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 105

18/1

Has come down a long way in the weights since his last win in January 2020 but he isn't obviously shaping as if likely to take advantage, albeit his stamina was likely stretched at 27f on Market Rasen reappearance.

Form: 6U/56P-5

Frankie Rapper²³

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: J Martin⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 105| CD

28/1

Handicap hurdle winner over 23f in 2018 for Dan Skelton but absent for over 3 years prior to offering little in a Stratford hunter last month. Lots to prove on first run for new trainer.

Form: 16226/P

Port O'clock^p1,t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 100

11/4

Multiple pointer winner who showed a bit of promise over hurdles last year and made a successful switch to chasing in 3m Exeter hunter in April. Interesting now handicapping for David Pipe with cheekpieces added to his regular tongue tie,.

Form: 31431-2

Trumps Benefit^b,t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: R Potter| OR: 91| C

7/2

Shaped well until his stamina appeared to give out over 3m at Fakenham last time. Slightly shorter trip now and he's dipped to 4 lb below his last winning mark. Player.

Form: 3234-45

Regaby^p,t³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Ian Williams| OR: 90

5/1

Did well over fences last season, winning 3 times between August and November. Might have needed the run on both comeback runs this spring and should be spot on now.

Form: 62118-3

Forecasts

Dalkingstown (13/8), Port O'clock (11/4), Trumps Benefit (7/2), Regaby (5/1), Townshend (18/1), Frankie Rapper (28/1)

Exeter hunter winner PORT O'CLOCK could easily have more to come now handicapping for new trainer David Pipe so he's the suggestion. Trumps Benefit is well handicapped and will be a major threat if his stamina holds. Dalkingstown arrives in form, while Regaby could be at concert pitch after a couple of comeabck runs so there are few to consider despite the lack of numbers.
