Lonimoss Bareliere^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 98

7/2

Pair of runner-up efforts in recent weeks. Has run well over C&D before. On the shortlist for top stable.

Form: 4/243-22

Texan Nomad^h²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 97| D

33/1

Recorded 2 wins in 2018/19 but off 37 months prior to finishing a distant fourth at Newton Abbot 25 days ago. Can only be watched after that.

Form: 65016/4

Family Time^p1,t1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-13| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 102

40/1

Promise in juvenile hurdles last term but disappointed on Huntingdon handicap debut 23 days ago. First-time headgear combination reached for after that.

Form: 223-P

Boston Joe^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: R Patrick| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 97| D

8/1

Successful over fences in his first 2 handicaps, namely at Ffos Las and Stratford in recent weeks. Bold show likely if in the same form back hurdling.

Form: 8/57-311

Chef De Troupe²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Chris Ward⁽⁵⁾| T: A Forbes| OR: 97| CD

25/1

Won back-to-back hurdles for Dr Richard Newland in 2020/21. Landed an AW Flat handicap for this yard last month but well beaten over C&D back hurdling 10 days later. Others are preferred.

Form: 3/28P2-7

Long Call¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: J E Moore| T: A W Carroll| OR: 95| D

15/2

Hurdles record is patchy and well held in 2 handicaps at Warwick last month. Better when third on Flat 16 days ago but no good thing to reproduce that back hurdling.

Form: 0225-06

Zuckerberg^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Page Fuller| T: J Candlish| OR: 93| D

33/1

Yet to win in this country, but has finished in the money on several occasions. Not at best when a well-held fourth on AW Flat latest, though. First hurdle start since last spring.

Form: P3533-4

Ten Past Midnight^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 92| CD

9/2

Back to form with a bang in a first-time visor when beating Leopolds Rock by 4 lengths to win 2m Southwell handicap 3 weeks ago. Claims if the headgear works as well a second time.

Form: 113P-81

Al Muffrih^h¹⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 92

25/1

Fairly useful on the Flat but has shown very little aptitude for hurdling for this yard, looking a hard ride. Makes handicap debut in this sphere after a 5-month break. Hood refitted. Would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 570-

Andapa^p²⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: T J O'Brien| T: M Roberts| OR: 90| CD

12/1

Dual course scorer last summer but not seen since finishing third at Plumpton in the autumn so peak fitness has to be taken on trust.

Form: 551133-

Major Snugfit^t,v⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Peter Coleman⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 89| D

11/2

Three Flat wins last year before landing back to back handicap hurdles at Sedgefield/Southwell in November. Back to winning ways in Hexham conditional jockeys' event 7 days ago and goes off the same mark this afternoon. Obvious chance.

Form: 611-321

Leopolds Rock²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: B S Hughes| T: P A Kirby| OR: 80| BF

4/1

Reached a fair level on the Flat over the winter and translated that form on his hurdles return when second to Ten Past Midnight at Southwell 20 days ago. Remains on potentially lenient mark and holds strong claims.

Form: 65/046-2

Forecasts

Lonimoss Bareliere (7/2), Leopolds Rock (4/1), Ten Past Midnight (9/2), Major Snugfit (11/2), Long Call (15/2), Boston Joe (8/1), Andapa (12/1), Into The Sunset (16/1), Al Muffrih (25/1), Chef De Troupe (25/1), Texan Nomad (33/1), Zuckerberg (33/1), Boundsy Boy (33/1), Family Time (40/1)

Brian Hughes retains the ride on LEOPOLDS ROCK who is taken to build on his good run at Southwell earlier this month and get off the mark over hurdles. Major Snugfit escapes a penalty for last Sunday's Hexham success and rates the main danger ahead of Lonimoss Bareliere and recent dual chase winner Boston Joe in a competiive finale.
