Bahtiyar^h,t⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-1| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: H Whittington| OR: 101

13/2

Ex-French gelding produced one of his best efforts for this yard when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) 43 days ago. Dropped in weights and looks competitive on form.

Form: 3-32656

Night Jet⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 95

20/1

Out of a mare who did well for the same connections and fair form in a couple of bumpers. Showed bit of promise on hurdles debut last term but not at same level either start term and needs to get back on track now handicapping.

Form: 565-68

Tara Iti⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Rob Hargreaves⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 93| CD

7/2

Won a pair of C&D handicaps last year but shaped as if still in form when third of 13 in a similar event 42 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Back to a potentially lenient mark.

Form: 1-24463

Inferno Sacree^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Buckley⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 92| CD

13/8

Impressive winner over C&D in January before improving again to follow up in 10-runner event here (17.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago by 5½ lengths from Mickyh, driven clear. Up another 7 lb but highly respected again.

Form: 656311

Tommy Dillion²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 90| BF| D

9/1

Suited by way race developed when off mark in hurdle at Lingfield in December and shaped as if still in form from 12 lb higher in C&D event on next start. Unseated last time and perhaps bit more needed to score from lofty position in the weights.

Form: 4-8714U

Mickyh^p,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 77| C

7/2

Course winner. Creditable 5½ lengths second of 10 to Inferno Sacree in handicap hurdle (7/1) at this course (17.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Shortlist material benefiting from big swing at the weights this time.

Form: 3-20952

Forecasts

Inferno Sacree (13/8), Mickyh (7/2), Tara Iti (7/2), Good Time Ahead (7/2), Bahtiyar (13/2), Tommy Dillion (9/1), Martin Spirit (10/1), Night Jet (20/1), Pump It Up (33/1)

GOOD TIME AHEAD capitalised on a falling mark to score impressively at Lingfield last month, and having competed from much higher marks before his lenghty absence, could well be capable of defying a 6 lb rise higher. Bahtiyar has slipped in the weights and is respected, whilst the hat-trick seeking Inferno Sacree is another leading player in his bid for a third course success.
