9/2

On the up when winning a pair of 2m handicaps in autumn 2020 (including over C&D). As anticipated shaped very much as if needing the run after 2 years off at Wetherby (19.7f, good) recently and this outing should reveal plenty.

7/2

Fairly useful winner on Flat who opened hurdles account at fourth attempt in a Fakenham maiden in March. Stepped up on return to double his tally over timber at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago and expected to go well again nudged up just 2 lb.

Form: 4213-31

Traprain Law^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-11| J: P W Wadge⁽⁶⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 107WS

13/2

Fairly useful form over hurdles in France and offered something to work on for new yard when runner-up in C&D novice in October. Ridden in contrast but failed to take a step forward on handicap debut at Ayr last time but he's had a wind op since and it's too soon to be writing him off.

Form: 333P-24

Evita Du Mesnil¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Lewis Dobb⁽³⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 100| CD

11/1

Strong traveller who tasted success twice during 2021/22 (including over C&D). Best effort yet when runner-up on return/yard debut over C&D in October but not in the same form on both subsequent outings so she must bounce back.

Form: 142-256

Three Platoon^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Peter Coleman⁽⁶⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 97

11/2

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (well held both starts this summer). Sound enough start to hurdles career in recent months, although he failed to improve for the switch to handicaps at Market Rasen last month. Each-way claims.

Form: 3434

Oot Ma Way^p¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Finn Lambert| T: I Jardine| OR: 96

20/1

Has ability but not a reliable betting proposition having had her race ended at the final flight in three of her last 5 starts. Continues to edge down the weights.

Form: 2F2U-F7

Mr Globalist³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Hogan| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 104

11/4

Irish raider who belatedly matched the form of his hurdling debut when fifth in juvenile event at Galway just over 5 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut today and the sole 3-y-o in the line-up warrants plenty of respect on his first start on these shores.

Form: 2345

Getaway Gerry⁷²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Toby Wynne| T: K Scott| OR: 85

18/1

Given a chance by the handicapper and produced his best effort to date when runner-up over C&D in this corresponding event 2 years ago. Unraced since, so this outing should reveal what ability remains.

Forecasts

Mr Globalist (11/4), Rewired (7/2), Dancewiththewind (9/2), Three Platoon (11/2), Traprain Law (13/2), Evita Du Mesnil (11/1), Coolkill (16/1), Getaway Gerry (18/1), Oot Ma Way (20/1)

Cases can be made for a few of these but having had only a handful of starts over timber, Irish-raider MR GLOBALIST is selected to make a winning start to life in handicaps for Philip Rothwell. Rewired is sure to be popular having doubled his tally over hurdles at Huntingdon last month but he may have to settle for silver today, with Three Platoon and Traprain Law another couple to consider.
