Broughtons Mission^h,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson

150/1

Modest maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 9.5f), down the field last time. Easily passed over making hurdling debut in hood and tongue strap combination.

Form:

Enthused^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen

33/1

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat but has shown nothing both starts over hurdles.

Form: 5P

Jaramillo^p³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 112

5/2

Useful but quirky sort on Flat for Roger Varian. Improved efforts over hurdles when placed in maiden/novice company before Christmas. Ran poorly back in a handicap at Wincanton on Boxing Day though, so bounce back called for.

Form: 25-P230

Olly's Folly¹¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁵⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 92

100/1

Modest maiden hurdler who followed a below-par effort with an even worse one at Warwick back in October. Hard to fancy.

Form: 33337P

Pistoletto¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ryan

13/2

Useful at best on Flat (stays 1½m), below form on all-weather last 2 starts. Could have a say if taking to this new discipline.

Form:

Sergeant Wilson^h1³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 112| BF| D

6/4

Clear-cut winner of Taunton bumper in March. Fairly useful form when placed in 2 maiden hurdles in November but disappointed when down the field on handicap debut at Market Rasen (19f) on Boxing Day. Raced freely on that occasion and this drop back to 2m and addition of a hood may help.

Form: 1-F320

Treyarnon Bay⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| D

3/1

Created a good impression when landing a mares bumper on her yard debut at Southwell in May. Failed to meet expectations sent hurdling after 7 months off at Huntingdon in December but that was a much warmer race than this and she should improve.

Form: 2-17

Forecasts

Sergeant Wilson (6/4), Jaramillo (5/2), Treyarnon Bay (3/1), Pistoletto (13/2), Enthused (33/1), Olly's Folly (100/1), Broughtons Mission (150/1)

Bumper-winner TREYARNON BAY was a shade disappointing on her Huntingdon hurdling debut in December, but that was a much warmer race than this and she could prove a different proposition now. Sergeant Wilson and Jaramillo look the main threats.
