Drop Him In²⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: R T Dunne| T: O Murphy| OR: 112

28/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, unseated rider 3rd in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe 18 months ago on his final run for Eoin Doyle. Placed once from 4 starts in Irish points last winter, subsequently sold for £11,000. Not sure to stay this far and hard to fancy.

Form: 5/U63F4-

Bobalot^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Jones| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 108

7/4

Relished the markedly longer trip when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f) 20 days ago, keeping on stoutly. Up 5 lb but he's still not taken lightly.

Form: 6234-1

Last Quarter^p,t1²⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 108WS

4/1

Bumper winner (for Colin Bowe) who has shown fair form over hurdles, prominent long way when pulled up in handicap at Exeter (23.1f) 8 months ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can bounce back.

Form: 1/7245P-

Robin Des Fox^t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy| OR: 107

11/1

Fair maiden hurdler but he came in last of 5 in 3m handicap chase at Hexham on his debut over fences 38 days ago. Not ruled out back over hurdles though.

Form: 2/3422-5

Chloe's Court^p,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryan Carver| T: R Walford| OR: 103

16/1

Shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f) 21 days ago. A fair 3m winner last term so he's not dismissed off a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 28164-4

San Pedro¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 97| BF

10/3

Irish Flat winner who posted a good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f) 15 days ago. He can race off a 1 lb lower mark now so holds very good claims.

Form: 2P548-2

Coronado Joe⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 96

6/1

Unseated rider 5th in handicap chase here on his debut over fences 7 days ago. Quickly reverts to hurdles and this fair winner can't be discounted with yard going really well.

Form: 38619-U

Forecasts

Bobalot (7/4), San Pedro (10/3), Last Quarter (4/1), Coronado Joe (6/1), Robin Des Fox (11/1), Republican (12/1), Good News (14/1), Chloe's Court (16/1), Drop Him In (28/1)

Marginal preference in a competitive handicap goes to SAN PEDRO who comes here on the back of a good recent Plumpton second yet can race off a 1 lb lower mark. Good News should find this return to a longer trip in his favour and is feared most, although Bobalot, Coronado Joe and Last Quarter all need factoring in too.
