No No Tonic^b,t⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 12-4| J: Theo Gillard⁽³⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 97

15/2

Better than ever when recording second Wincanton win over 19.8f last week. Carries penalty for that but likely to give it another very good go.

Form: 315-341

Moveit Like Minnie^t1²⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: Finn Lambert⁽⁷⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 101| BF

5/2

Dual-bumper winner who has yet to scale those heights over hurdles, May have found 19.6f too much of a test last time and he really should be a big player from this mark. Tongue tie on.

Form: 122246-

Colony Queen¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 98| BF

11/2

Useful Flat performer, winning all 3 starts in 2021 for John Mackie. Best effort yet over hurdles when second at Huntingdon and there's surely more to come now handicapping.

Form: U82

Line Of Descent¹³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: Brendan Powell| T: W Greatrex| OR: 98

25/1

In frame in pair of juvenile hurdles but flopped both starts in handicaps and didn't show much back on the level when last seen in July.

Form: 430-5

Land Of My Delight⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 97

22/1

Fair maiden who saw his run of good form come to an end when fading fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f) 52 days ago. Remains open to progress.

Form: 005-24

Callisto's King^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 96

4/1

Fair in bumpers and was seemingly brought along with handicaps in mind across a trio of starts in novice hurdles. Big price and low-key handicap debut last month fitted with a tongue tie.

Form: 49474-5

After The Fox¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 93| D

25/1

Scored at Chepstow in January but has failed to fire subsequently, including on reappearance 12 days ago. Cheekpieces still off.

Form: 41540-7

Harde Fashion^p1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: D Bourne| OR: 92

33/1

Fair in bumpers for Kim Bailey but has to yet to build on a promising first run over hurdles for this yard. Cheekpieces need to spark him into life.

Form: B674-P6

Wise Glory^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 88

125/1

Winless over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and has proved more miss than hit on the Flat and over hurdles for present stable.

Form: 2/37-509

Karakoram^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 87| BF| CD

7/1

Chepstow winner in March and arrives on the back of a brace of placed efforts at that venue. Clearly in good nick but more exposed than some.

Form: 216-432

Mickyh^p,t¹⁹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 84| BF| D

11/1

Doubled career tally at Stratford (18.6f) in April and good placed efforts later that spring. Since left Adam West and market may be revealing on reappearance.

Form: 28513-2

Cobbs Corner⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 77

5/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good, 11/2) 41 days ago, soon clear. 4 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist.

Form: 3057-31

Broadoak²⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: Mrs F M Shaw| OR: 77WS

66/1

Bred to stay well but just minor promise in his qualifying runs and has had another breathing op.

Form: P06-

Good Greef^h¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: R Patrick| T: R Luke| OR: 72

125/1

Poor form in bumpers and only completed once from 4 starts over hurdles. Tough to fancy on handicap bow.

Form: 8/0-P4PP

Presgrave^p,t⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 70

40/1

Fair on Flat in Ireland but has merely hinted at ability over hurdles for this yard and is hard to fancy from out of weights.

Form: 46-7P64

COLONY QUEEN's opening hurdles mark is attractive given her hurdles ability so she could be the way to go in a race not without intrigue for the grade. Moveit Like Minnie should also have a bigger performance in him, with No No Tonic, who is more exposed than that pair, another to consider given she won last week.
