Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 112| D

4/1

Weak finisher who hasn't gone on from a promising start over fences, albeit his stamina may have been stretched last time. Now reverts to hurdles after a short break.

Form: 12P-2P7

Herecomeshogan^p¹⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Atkins⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 108

9/2

Off the mark in this sphere in a Newton Abbot maiden in August and added an 18.5f Exeter handicap in October. Given a break since and much depends on whether he's ready to roll.

Form: P8F141

Dom Perry³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: D A Jacob| T: H Morrison| OR: 107| D

5/4

Bumper winner for Lauran Morgan who made a successful start for this yard in a 2m Southwell maiden hurdle in February. Bettered that form when 11 lengths third in 2m Newbury handicap last month. Should go well.

Form: 12/65-13

Thunder Ahead^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 102

28/1

Juvenile hurdle winner last winter but has struggled in 3 handicap hurdle starts since, the refitting of cheekpieces making no difference at Doncaster last month.

Form: 5317-98

Scherbobalob⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 100

10/1

Modest maiden on Flat but has shown ability over hurdles, best effort when fourth of 15 in C&D novice in February. Yet to be asked for effort when unseated 3 out on Bangor handicap debut since. Unexposed and respected.

Form: 794U

Force De Frap^p,t³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: James Best| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 99| D

16/1

Revitalised when winning in big fields at Taunton and Wincanton around the turn of the year but has been found out from much higher marks twice since.

Form: 0-61186

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 98

13/2

Forecasts

Dom Perry (5/4), Patient Dream (5/2), Hidor De Bersy (4/1), Herecomeshogan (9/2), Aristobulus (13/2), Scherbobalob (10/1), Force De Frap (16/1), Thunder Ahead (28/1)

DOM PERRY made a solid start to his handicap career when third at Newbury last time and can deny Patient Dream a hat-trick. Scherbobalob looked to be going okay when unseating 3 out on his recent Bangor handicap debut and may prove best of the remainder.
