Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Lily Pinchin⁽³⁾| T: R Hobson| OR: 105| CD

7/2

In good order this campaign, finishing in the frame all 4 completed starts. Had a hard race over 27.7f here in January but wisely given time to recover and drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue.

Form: 5-2U243

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D Pipe| OR: 107WS

12/1

Brother to a pair of winners in France (both placed in listed chases). Ran to a fair level when placed on both outings over fences so far, runner-up in handicap at Lyon Parilly in November. Left Gabriel Leenders and offered little on January's British debut. Will surely do better this time.

Form: 7-227

Ballybeen^t¹²³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 105| BF

10/3

Modest maiden hurdler but already a better chaser, finding only one too good on first go over fences at Hereford in November. Off since but every chance there's plenty more to come.

Form: 5444-32

Butterwick Brook^b²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Kimber⁽³⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 105

18/1

More miss than hit since landing a Wincanton handicap chase in December 2021. soon done with at Wincanton last month. Others more straightforward propositions.

Form: 7P-235P

Walk In The Wild⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 104| BF

13/2

Big improver sent chasing for new yard, winning Lingfield handicaps at up to 20f in November. Must have been amiss given how tamely he checked out of things at Plumpton in December but given plenty of time to recover from that.

Form: 5P7-114

11/8

Doubled his tally over fences with a likeable front-running display over C&D 3 weeks ago, forging clear. 7 lb rise may turn out to be lenient.

Forecasts

Lightonthewing (11/8), Ballybeen (10/3), Echo Watt (7/2), Walk In The Wild (13/2), King Turgeon (12/1), Butterwick Brook (18/1), Master Mikey Dee (20/1)

LIGHTONTHEWING found another jolt of improvement when an easy winner of a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and a subsequent 7 lb rise may not prevent further success. Ballybeen has more to offer as a chaser and is second choice, with Echo Watt likely to give it another good go.
