10/1

Scored narrowly twice at this C&D over the winter but ran poorly away from this venue when well held at Haydock (18.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Better showing anticipated back at this track.

8/1

One-time useful hurdler who having tumbled in the weights, made far more impact than in ages when third at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Needs to back that up here but fancied to do so with jockey taking off a valuable 8 lb.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 105

7/1

Winning pointer who improved in each of his first 3 outings in regular novices. However, he failed to meet expectations upped in trip for his handicap debut when well held at Kelso (22.7f, good to soft) in February and now drops back down in trip.

Form: 31-6330

17/2

Still a maiden but posted a respectable fourth over C&D back in October. Ran poorly at Market Rasen 3 weeks later though, so will need to hit the ground running returning from 5 months off.

13/2

Was progressive over hurdles and took a further step forward on chasing debut when fourth at Newcastle (16.3f, good to soft) back in January. Quickly reverts to the smaller obstacles and could well have a say in proceedings.

Form: 080-534

Duty Calls¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Lewis Stones| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 99| CD

10/1

Won over hurdles here last season and took advantage of being held up in a strongly-run race despite being 3 lb out of the weights as he scored for the first time over fences at Kelso (17.1f, soft) a fortnight ago. Back hurdling now and high on the shortlist.

Artic Row^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 93| BF

4/1

Justified strong support when winning 8-runner event on handicap debut at Ayr (16f, good to firm) last month but didn't get the chance to prove himself still ahead of the handicapper after a 4 lb rise having departed 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago. Remains of firm interest.

16/1

Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but well held this year, including for new yard. Headgear/tongue tie back on but has plenty to prove.

Burrows Hall²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Alan Doyle| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 91

11/2

Modest form in bumpers and similar level so far over hurdles. Came third on handicap debut at Wetherby last month but failed to meet expectations upped in trip when a well-beaten fourth at Newcastle 12 days later (possibly unsuited by conditions). In the mix.

Form: 69-2834

Derracrin¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Toby Wynne| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 82

33/1

Still a maiden and again failed to get competitive when seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (17.2f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Others appeal more on reappearance.

Strike Of Lighting^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Edward Austin| T: G Bewley| OR: 75

10/1

Poor maiden handicapper who got back on track to a certain extent fitted with tongue tie when fourth at this course (19.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Wouldn't be a banker to reproduce that effort here, though.

Forecasts

Artic Row (4/1), Burrows Hall (11/2), Don't Talk (13/2), Five Dollar Fine (7/1), Limited Reserve (8/1), Allbetsoff (17/2), Applaus (10/1), Duty Calls (10/1), Strike Of Lighting (10/1), Ingleby Mackenzie (16/1), Bonne Vitesse (20/1), Derracrin (33/1)

Cases can be made for a few but ARTIC ROW was unable to prove himself as still ahead of the handicapper following a 4 lb rise when stumbling and falling soon after 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago. Providing he's none the worse from that spill, Nick Alexander's charge is fancied to double his tally. Limited Reserve may well emerge as the main threat, with Duty Calls and Burrows Hall also considered.
