Breizh Alko²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 12-1| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 101| D

6/1

Veteran chaser who posted a creditable second of 12 back over hurdles at Lingfield (23f, good) 28 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 11P-PP2

Heads Or Harps^t⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Luca Morgan| T: M Scudamore| OR: 101| D

9/2

Successful on the second of 2 starts in points but only modest form shown in three runs over hurdles, having breathing op and tongue tied before fourth of 11 in novice here (20.4f, good) 50 days ago. Needs to build on it now going into handicaps.

Form: P-1PP4

These Happy Daze^p,t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 95

20/1

Is proving more miss than hit and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: F208FP

Kingsfort Hill^t⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 92

7/4

Looked limited in bumpers in Ireland in 2019/20 and just minor promise over hurdles for present yard, seventh of 14 in handicap here (20.4f, good) 40 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: U-95677

My Ticketyboo^p⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁷⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 85

2/1

Got off the mark at Fontwell in January and followed up off 6 lb higher there 42 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and well in the mix once more.

Form: 39-8811

Sleve Donard¹⁰⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: K Brogan| T: Tracey Leeson| OR: 82| D

50/1

Took seven attempts to get off the mark in points and well beaten all three starts over hurdles, pulled up at Uttoxeter in December. Hard to make a case for on his handicap bow.

Form: F3153/P

Telefina²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West| OR: 75

16/1

Poor maiden hurdler at best who ran well from 7 lb out of the weights when third at Taunton (23.9f) in December. Has failed to build on that effort both starts since, though.

Form: P2530P

Walk In The Storm¹⁵

T: Ian Williams J: C J Todd

Forecasts

Kingsfort Hill (7/4), My Ticketyboo (2/1), Walk In The Storm (2/1), Heads Or Harps (9/2), Breizh Alko (6/1), Telefina (16/1), These Happy Daze (20/1), Sleve Donard (50/1)

WALK IN THE STORM made a promising start to life in handicaps when runner-up at Ffos Las last time and with this longer trip also a plus she is fancied to add to her earlier bumper success. Hat-trick seeking My Ticketyboo rates the obvious threat with veteran Breizh Alko appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
