4/6

Fairly useful bumper winner who was well backed when making a bright start over hurdles when second in a Worcester maiden in September. Below that level at Warwick but wasted no time getting back to form when fifth at Newbury (20.5f) in November. Has had a breathing op since. Leading claims.

Form: 212-255

Hurricane Le Dun⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

9/1

Offered little in 2 bumpers but slightly more encouraging signs over hurdles, including when fourth in small-field maiden at Ffos Las (21.9f) latest.

Form: 05-74

Max's Champ^b1,t1¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: R T Dunne| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 110

7/2

Winning pointer who was fair in bumpers and has shown a similar level of form over hurdles, though it wasn't a particularly likeable display tackling a new trip when sixth at Chepstow (23.6f) 18 days ago, merely plugging on. Fitted with first-time blinkers and tongue strap combination.

Form: 8-434U6

Pippin Took⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Jordan Nailor| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

20/1

Showed a bit when fourth in 9-runner bumper at Haydock (15.6f, soft) on debut in December. Upped in trip for hurdle debut.

Form: 4

Another Day Out¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: M Keighley

9/2

Winning Irish pointer at third attempt who shaped with encouragement when second in 8-runner novice at Southwell (15.8f) 17 days ago, rallying back into second crossing last. Step up in trip will suit and open to improvement.

Form: U-512

Bellamys Girl¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: M S Wilesmith

300/1

Has shown nothing in a pair of maiden hurdles.

Form: 85

Internet Biddy¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

33/1

Just modest form at best in 2 bumpers but shaped better than the distance beaten suggests sent hurdling when fourth at Lingfield (2m). However, jumped erratically when well held at Chepstow since. Up in trip.

Form: 6347

Passing Kate¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: G Harris

80/1

Made more impact than previously when sixth in 10-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) 18 days ago but won't be of interest until handicapping at a low level.

Form: 5076

There's Lovely

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: James Davies| T: Joe Ponting

150/1

£2,000 3-y-o, Jeu St Eloi filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Union Park, stays 21f. Best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Everyonesgame (4/6), Max's Champ (7/2), Another Day Out (9/2), Hurricane Le Dun (9/1), Pippin Took (20/1), Internet Biddy (33/1), Passing Kate (80/1), There's Lovely (150/1), Bellamys Girl (300/1)

ANOTHER DAY OUT shaped well with a view to stepping up in trip when runner-up on her Southwell debut 17 days ago, so she gets the nod to go one better. Everyonesgame wasn't disgraced in a warm race at Newbury on his most recent outing in November and is an obvious threat returning from a break having also had a breathing operation since last seen. Max's Champ isn't without hope if responding well to headgear.
