Off 13 weeks before posting a much-improved second of 12 in novice hurdle over C&D (40/1) 43 days ago. Also considerately handled there so he's one to consider now going into handicaps.
|
Fair stayer on the Flat who made the frame on his first 3 starts over hurdles for his current yard. Only seventh in C&D novice last time though so needs to bounce back.
|
Opened her account in convincing style back over hurdles in 11-runner handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 9 lb hike in the weights.
|
Yet to get his head in front but has returned in excellent form this season, runner-up for the fourth consecutive time over 3m here 27 days ago. Up another 3 lb but winner has gone in again so he's a big player.
|
Failed to complete both starts in points and has no more than hinted at ability over hurdles in recent months. Others appeal more now he goes handicapping.
|
Much improved when gaining his breakthrough success in this sphere in 12-runner handicap at Worcester (20f, good) 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up despite taking a 3 lb rise.
|
Still a maiden but she comes here in good nick, strong-travelling fourth of 11 to Methodtothemagic in handicap over C&D 22 days ago. Can go well again eased 1 lb.
|
Still winless over hurdles but largely running well, third of 8 in handicap at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. In the mix off a 2 lb lower mark now.
|
Only poor form shown thus far and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 32 days ago. Others appeal more.
|
Poor form shown thus far, only sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Kempton (21f, good to soft) 85 days ago on his final run for Paul Webber. Tongue strap on for handicap debut for new yard. Interesting to see a market move.
|
Looks very limited and is also 11 lb out of the handicap. It's easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
My Gift To You (5/2), Coconut Twist (11/4), Bensini (5/1), Methodtothemagic (7/1), Game Beaaa (8/1), Clean Getaway (10/1), Skeeter Park (12/1), Riggsby (33/1), Wedding Stress (66/1), Carapaz (66/1), Onnaroll (125/1)
A case can be made for a few of these but COCONUT TWIST is taken to gain a deserved first success with the form of his latest second here having been franked. Game Beaaa also bids to shed her maiden tag and is feared most on the back of her encouraging C&D fourth. Handicap debutant Skeeter Park and recent scorers Methodtothemagic and Bensini need factoring in too.
- Coconut Twist11/4
- Game Beaaa8/1
- Skeeter Park12/1
