Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130| C

10/3

Has still to match his useful hurdles form in this sphere but should find life a bit easier back in handicap company after a break. Couldn't dismiss.

Form: 1/3P2-22

Latitude⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 122

85/40

Point/bumper winner who made the perfect start over hurdles when seeing off a next-time-out scorer at Ludlow (21.2f) in January. Good third on return/chase debut at Bangor and again acquitted himself well from an unpromising position at Uttoxeter last time. Solid claims back from a break.

Form: 51F6-33

Ned Tanner⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 117| CD

5/2

Dual novice hurdle winner last term and confirmed chasing debut promise in 4-runner handicap over C&D in December, staying on to lead run-in. Wasn't fluent to justify support back here last time but it remains early days as a chaser.

Form: 131-414

Hold The Note²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 112| CD

15/2

Back to winning ways over C&D in December before stamina seemingly stretched next time. Let down by jumping at Doncaster since but remains well handicapped on old form.

Form: 3-4P15F

Domandlouis⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: P W Wadge⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 104| BF| C

11/2

Bred more for stamina than speed and displayed much-improved form when landing 6-runner novice hurdle here in May. Failed to build on chase debut promise last time but was surely amiss that day and it remains early days. 7 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 35F-13P

Forecasts

Latitude (85/40), Ned Tanner (5/2), Flash Collonges (10/3), Domandlouis (11/2), Hold The Note (15/2), Leostar (12/1)

LATITUDE ran respectably at Uttoxeter in December, especially considering he was 7 lb out of the handicap and left poorly placed, so he's of strong interest back from a break. Ned Tanner wasn't fluent enough in the jumping department to justify support in a strong race here last time, but it remains early days with him over fences. Domandlouis is another who can't be written off just yet.
