Release The Kraken^p¹¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁸⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 98| BF

11/10

Modest maiden handicap hurdler for Nicky Richards (sold £11,000). New yard does especially well with novice chasers and he won't want for stamina, so makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 2-42044

Le Tueur^p,t¹⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 85| BF| D

15/8

Placed on 5 of his last 6 starts over fences without doing much wrong and will surely break his duck in this sphere before too much longer. Interesting for new yard (sold from Peter Bowen £7,500) back from 6 months off.

Form: 223-732

Churchtown Glen^b¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Daniel Sansom| T: Miss M P Bryant| OR: 77

10/1

Sole win came in maiden hurdle in Ireland 4 years ago. No sign of a revival back from 5 months off at Plumpton recently but is very well handicapped when finding his form again. Step back up in trip here will suit.

Form: 62-3454

Vetoncall^p³⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: A E Jones| OR: 73| D

6/1

Point winner who showed first form under Rules tried in blinkers after 25 months off when third of 12 in Bangor handicap chase (20.3f, heavy) in December, though finished lame and not seen again since. Check the betting.

Form: 798P7/3-

King Cnut⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: B Roberts⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 69

14/1

Stratford handicap chase winner for Chris Gordon in May 2019 but has shown nothing in the last year. First go over 3m and hard to fancy.

Form: P6PP-76

Oborne Lady^t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Philip Armson| T: J W Mullins| OR: 69

100/1

Modest Flat winner in 2019. Disappointing maiden over jumps.

Form: P/633P7

Forecasts

Release The Kraken (11/10), Le Tueur (15/8), Joey Steel (3/1), Vetoncall (6/1), Churchtown Glen (10/1), King Cnut (14/1), Oborne Lady (100/1)

The two that are starting out for new yards look the most interesting, with RELEASE THE KRAKEN fancied to open his account at the first attempt over fences for Laura Morgan. Le Tueur can surely find a race for Sarah Humphrey before long.
