King Otis^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean O'Briain⁽⁷⁾| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 91

50/1

Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing in first-time tongue tie for new handler at Southwell 5 weeks ago. Goes up significantly in trip.

Form: 30980P

Flemen's Tipple²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 90

7/2

Has shown a lot more in handicaps for current yard the last twice, rallying after mistake last when going close over C&D 3 weeks ago. Probably has races in him on that evidence.

Form: 070582

The Tin Miner^v⁴²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: C Gordon| OR: 89| C| D

11/2

Has looked on the downgrade this season but has finished second twice in this race over the years, collared by a stablemate 12 months ago. Career-low mark.

Form: 42-3PP8

Hilltown⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 87

10/3

Point bumper winner who ran better than on handicap debut when chasing home One For The Wall here 6 weeks ago, looking suited by the step up in trip. One to consider.

Form: 2-P6404

If Karl's Berg Did^h²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 85

9/1

Maiden handicap hurdler who is hard to catch right but undoubtedly on a good mark if on a going day on his first crack over this sort of distance.

Form: 65/4-3P4

Dear Ralphy^t⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Ben Godfrey⁽³⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 82

5/1

Little show in maiden/novice hurdles but should do better in handicaps upped markedly in trip now and this is a good starting point.

Form: 64-9P97

Rubys Reward^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Reed| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 75

16/1

Landed a gamble for Anthony Honeyball in similar event at Fontwell this time last year and should strip fitter for last month's Ffos Las run for new yard. One to note back up in trip.

Form: 41-5057

Forecasts

Hilltown (10/3), Flemen's Tipple (7/2), One For The Wall (7/2), Dear Ralphy (5/1), The Tin Miner (11/2), If Karl's Berg Did (9/1), Rubys Reward (16/1), King Otis (50/1)

ONE FOR THE WALL was firmly back on track when second over C&D 6 weeks ago and looks the obvious choice. Dear Ralphy is an interesting rival with the longer trip sure to suit on his handicap debut. Hilltown is another to note.
