Faustinovick^p,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-1| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 111

18/5

Finally got the job done when opening his account on return at Chepstow (3m, good to soft) in November. Has failed to match that in 2 subsequent appearances, though, and there's an air of vulnerability about him.

Form: 434-164

Ballinslea Bridge⁵⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 110

12/1

Runner-up on return at Huntingdon and duly went one better at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in December, ending a losing run of almost 5 years in the process. Unseated rider as the race was starting to take shape back there since and claims granted a clear round this time.

Form: 2-8421U

Great D'Ange^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: James Bowen| T: T R George| OR: 109

3/1

Back to winning ways when taking 8-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) on penultimate start. However, he folded pretty tamely at Doncaster next time and is hard to warm to on the back of that.

Form: 1-F2318

Butterwick Brook^b¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: J Tizzard| OR: 107| CD

4/1

More miss than hit since landing a Wincanton handicap chase in December 2021, and he will probably find one or two too good once more.

Form: P7P-235

My Silver Lining⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: James Best| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 104

11/4

Impressive winner of a 2m novice hurdle at Lingfield last February and has shown a fair level of ability in 4 starts over fences at up to 21f. Edging down the weights and could be about to take a step forward now that she moves up in trip.

Form: 14-3P35

Minella Voucher^p,t⁵⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 94

9/1

Veteran who completed a hat-trick in September but was pulled up at Taunton when last seen at the end of December. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Beyond Redemption (9/4), My Silver Lining (11/4), Great D'Ange (3/1), Faustinovick (18/5), Butterwick Brook (4/1), Minella Voucher (9/1), Ballinslea Bridge (12/1)

BEYOND REDEMPTION appeared to have plenty left in the tank when making a winning start for this yard over C&D last month and he looks capable of defying an 11 lb rise in the weights. The one for the forecast could be My Silver Lining, who shapes as though this stiffer test will be in her favour. Ballinslea Bridge is best of the rest.
