9/2

Irish point winner who scored over hurdles and has made a positive start over fences, runner-up at Ludlow/Hereford. Could manage only fourth at Doncaster since but worth another chance.

Brulure Noire³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 105| D

13/2

Hurdles winner in Ireland who justified support when opening account over fences at Ffos Las (2m) in November. Well held next 2 starts, however.

Form: 106-15P

Billingsley^p²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁷⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 102| C

16/1

Latest success gained off this mark at Ffos Las last February and placed first 3 starts this season, chasing home a handicap blot in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford (2m). Found run of good form coming to a halt at Uttoxeter latest but type to bounce back.

Form: 2-3332P

Walk In The Wild¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 102

3/1

Made the perfect start sent chasing for new yard, winning Lingfield handicaps at up to 20f in November. Folded tamely next 2 starts but back on track when second at Warwick. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 7-114P2

Grizzly James⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 98

3/1

Fairly useful ex-French hurdles winner who took advantage of reduced mark when scoring at Hereford 9 days ago by 4¾ lengths from Abaya du Mathan. Respected.

Form: 3455P1

Faitque De L'Isle²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Liam Harrison⁽³⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 96

13/2

Fair form over fences in France in 2020 and got off the mark for current yard at Ffos Las (23.8f) in October. Disappointing since, though.

Form: 1P366B

Abaya Du Mathan^b,t⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 87| D

7/1

Kept busy and on a long losing run, but better signs when second to Grizzly James at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) under this rider 9 days ago. Interesting if backing that up.

Forecasts

Walk In The Wild (3/1), Grizzly James (3/1), Striking Out (9/2), Brulure Noire (13/2), Faitque De L'Isle (13/2), Abaya Du Mathan (7/1), Billingsley (16/1)

WALK IN THE WILD bounced back to form when second at Warwick 16 days ago and can go one better for his in-form yard. Recent Hereford 1-2 Grizzly James and Abaya du Mathan are feared most.
