Here We Have It¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Patrick Cowley⁽³⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 105| C

40/1

Overcame poor position to win a 2m handicap chase here in December but has struggled for form since, including remote fourth over fences here (2m again) last month. Remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles and a significant step back up in trip helps to spark a revival.

Form: 31PP4-4

Supreme Yeats²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 102| C

7/1

Cosy winner of 20.5f course handicap in November. Not at that level since but his Market Rasen third over an inadequate 2m was better and he's dropped back to that successful mark. No surprise if he goes well.

Form: 21586-3

Roscoe Tara³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 98

11/1

Reached the frame in a couple of maiden hurdles in 2020/21 season. Better effort in handicaps since returning from a long absence when 11 lengths fourth at Ffos Las (2½m) 34 days ago. Longer trip now might help.

Form: 7453/P-4

Blue Sans¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁷⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 95| BF| D

9/2

Fit from a point run, could only manage 13 lengths fourth back over hurdles at Worcester (2½m) last month but she is dangerously well handicapped if staging a revival for a yard in very good form. Headgear left off.

Form: 47662-4

Barely Famous^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 93| CD

17/2

Landed back-to-back handicaps (first one over C&D) for Ryan Potter last autumn. Also a good second at Huntingdon in October and he shaped better than the result on his recent return to action for new trainer Matt Sheppard. Likely to be sharper with that run behind him. Considered.

Form: 02112-6

De Grey Mink^t1³⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: C P McNamara| T: L O'Brien| OR: 91

25/1

Modest form at best, pulling up on yard debut a year ago. Off since. Tongue tied first time. Best to look elsewhere unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form: 6F03P/P-

Having A Barney^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 83| BF

6/4

On the up since sent handicapping, including a 20.5f Ayr win in March. Creditable third over 20.5f here latest, sticking on again after getting hampered. Much respected now stepping back up in trip.

Form: 5312-63

Robeam^h¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 81| CD

14/1

Largely struggled since finishing third in a C&D handicap off 8 lb higher last September and it's likely best to look elsewhere again. Wears a hood for the first time over jumps.

Form: 7PFP-7V

The Longest Day^p,t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Liam Harrison| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 75

13/2

Poor maiden but has been placed twice in handicaps around 3m since returning from a long absence this spring. 4 lb out of the handicap this time.

Form: 453/72-3

Forecasts

Having A Barney (6/4), Blue Sans (9/2), The Longest Day (13/2), Supreme Yeats (7/1), Barely Famous (17/2), Roscoe Tara (11/1), Robeam (14/1), De Grey Mink (25/1), Here We Have It (40/1)

The suggestion is HAVING A BARNEY, who was a bit better than the result when third over shorter here last time and is unexposed at this trip. Blue Sans was only fourth at Worcester recently but is well treated on her best efforts and is feared most ahead of Supreme Yeats, who won off an identical mark here last year.
