Trolley Boy²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 117| CD

11/10

C&D winner who resumed his progress to defy a penalty in good style after 4 months off at Ludlow 3 weeks ago under this rider. Previous Doncaster second handicap form reads well and he can go on improving. Lots to like.

No Risk With Lou²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 115| D

15/2

Winning pointer who made a successful hurdling debut at Southwell in November, though was fortunate on the day (left clear last). Better effort second time up behind Trolley Boy at Ludlow 3 weeks ago and can do better, although suspect he'll need a stiffer test.

Form: P/F1195-

Bucko's Boy^p²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 113| D

4/1

Bolted up at Newton Abbot last summer and could fare better here in re-fitted headgear after a pipe-opener at Warwick.

Form: 341347-

Dasher Riley^p²⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: H Cobden| T: L Morgan| OR: 112| CD

16/1

C&D novice hurdle winner last year and good run under a penalty next time before struggling up in trip in a handicap. Starts out for new yard after 9 months off.

Form: 03/P126-

Cousu Main^p1³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Adrian Heskin| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 111| D

12/1

Dual Uttoxeter winner who has struggled the last twice but this looks easier in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 837179-

Glimpse Of Gold^t³⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-7| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 110| D

11/1

Veteran recorded hat-trick in small fields last summer and offered more than for a while at Plumpton 6 weeks ago. Could be interesting if more positive tactics are the order of the day.

Form: 47FP57-

The Grey Falco^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 107| D

9/1

Dual hurdles winner who has been struggling for a while although he had excuses back in this sphere latest. On a good mark.

Form: 0/PP3P8-

Ten Ten Twenty²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 96| CD

28/1

C&D maiden hurdle winner last summer but little show since.

Forecasts

Trolley Boy (11/10), Lucky Lover Boy (11/4), Bucko's Boy (4/1), No Risk With Lou (15/2), The Grey Falco (9/1), Glimpse Of Gold (11/1), Cousu Main (12/1), Dasher Riley (16/1), Ten Ten Twenty (28/1)

TROLLEY BOY won well back from 4 months off at Ludlow and could have plenty more to offer so he's fancied to go in again having scored here last summer. Bucko's Boy and Glimpse of Gold are a couple of the dangers.
