Fair form when runner-up first 2 starts over hurdles 21 months apart. Disappointed at Lingfield last time but could bounce back now handicapping.

Fairly useful bumper winner. Promise when runner-up in a Bangor novice hurdle in November. Unseated at Uttoxeter since. His opening mark looks fair based on the Bangor form. Needs considering.

Best effort of the season when runner-up at Hereford in November and run best excused at Plumpton next time, a slow start putting her on the back foot. Can give a good account with cheekpieces on first time. Also declared 3.45 Doncaster.

Twenty five runs since last win in 2020 but he did run creditably to finish seventh of 22 at Punchestown when last seen in November. Irish stable's previous runner here won.

Dual bumper winner who improved on last year's hurdles exploits when making a winning return at Taunton (19f) in November. Just as good when second to an improver over C&D on Boxing Day. Player.

Fairly useful maiden on the level in Ireland and some promise in juvenile hurdles for present yard last winter. However, below par under both codes since returning from a break, including on handicap hurdle debut last time.

Only modest form in his 3 qualifying runs but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance of success on this first outing after wind surgery.

Fairly useful on Flat, adding to tally on AW in August. Second hurdle start when winning a 2m course novice in November and she might be worth forgiving a tame effort on handicap debut since as she was kicked at the start. Has had wind surgery. Yard among the winners. Respected.

Landed a C&D maiden last term but her form has nosedived this season, pulled up at Leicester (20.5f) 30 days ago. Others appeal more.

Forecasts

Moveit Like Minnie (9/4), Rockinastorm (10/3), Mullinaree (15/2), East End Girl (11/1), Shandancer (14/1), Eyed (14/1), Stroll On By (16/1), Mole Court (16/1), Hillfinch (16/1), Merry Mistress (18/1), Bentham (20/1), Phoenix Aquilus (25/1), Mister Sweets (33/1), Jacks Touch (40/1), Lifetime Legend (40/1), My Girl Lollipop (50/1), What Will Be (66/1)

Verdict

ROCKINASTORM looks on a nice mark based on his Bangor novice second so he's the suggestion in this very open handicap. Boxing Day's C&D runner-up Moveit Like Minnie heads the dangers along with East End Girl, who had an excuse last time and hails from a yard in form, and Milton Harris handicap newcomer Mullinaree.
