Applaus^p,t¹⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Joshua Thompson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 105| C

12/1

Not the most reliable and pulled up at Hexham when last seen 5 months ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 62735-P

Golden Robin²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Coltherd| T: S Corbett| OR: 103| D

28/1

First run since leaving Sue Smith when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, soft, 16/1) 20 days ago. Potentially well treated and might strip fitter for that return.

Form: U434P-7

Killybegs Junior¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: F O'Brien| OR: 100

5/2

Lightly raced and modest form at best in Ireland but he has won a couple of points since and now returns to Rules starting out for a shrewd yard, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 0/31313-

Tommydan^v1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: J Candlish| OR: 99

9/1

Best run over hurdles for this yard when second of 13 over 17f at this course in March and better effort over fences when third at Perth last time. Visored back over smaller obstacles.

Form: 982-983

Rubytwo^b²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 93| D

11/2

Shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off at Perth and been dropped 2 lb, but she's just 1-29 over hurdles.

Form: 33624-6

Pawpaw^t⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 93

11/2

Lost his way for Paul Webber and has fared little better for his current yard this season. Continues to fall in the weights without looking like taking advantage.

Form: 3-4P089

Baron Briggs¹⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: A M Thomson| OR: 91

16/1

Best of his three runs over hurdles when third of 8 in novice at Hexham (16.2f) 6 months ago. Needs another step forward on his handicap debut though.

Form: 853-

Fenland Tiger²⁶⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 89

5/1

Schiaparelli gelding who has shaped like a stayer in bumpers over hurdles, so open to improvement now upped in trip for handicap debut. Worth a market check back from 8 months off.

Form: 98307-

The Great Georgie²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Craig Nichol| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 86

33/1

Related to plenty of winners and, back from a long absence, showed more than previously over hurdles when fourth in a novice at Hexham last time. Upped in trip/switched to handicaps now.

Form: 759P7/4

Paddy The Panda^t¹⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: D Bourke| OR: 80

7/1

Hit the frame on two of his last three starts but it's only poor form and he's not entirely straightforward. Returns from 144 days off.

Form: 746-452

Rockmann⁶⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 77

50/1

Shaped like a stayer when third at Hexham only start in bumpers. Not much encouragement in novice/maiden hurdles and, while he might do better for a switch to handicaps, he has a 21-month absence to overcome.

Form: 3969/

Hattaab²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 73

50/1

Has plummeted in the weights since scoring at Worcester in July 2021, but he's hard to warm to all the same in this company.

Form: 9P6703

Forecasts

Killybegs Junior (5/2), Fenland Tiger (5/1), Pawpaw (11/2), Rubytwo (11/2), Paddy The Panda (7/1), Tommydan (9/1), Applaus (12/1), Baron Briggs (16/1), Golden Robin (28/1), The Great Georgie (33/1), Rockmann (50/1), Hattaab (50/1)

KILLYBEGGS JUNIOR has tasted success between the flags since last seen under Rules and makes plenty of appeal starting out for Fergal O'Brien with Harry Skelton booked. Fenland Tiger is a notable handicap debutant who should be well respected if the market speaks in his favour. The Great Georgie is another to keep an eye on.
