Happy Company^p⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Ned Fox| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 99| CD

10/1

At least as good as ever when scoring over C&D in May. Not on his game on the Flat at Leicester 87 days ago, however, and might need the run.

Form: 15722-1

Bari Breeze^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 93

10/3

Didn't take to fences in 2022 but his hurdle mark has come down at the same time and he took a step back in right direction when second at Market Rasen 18 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit.

Form: 264/9P-2

Rebel Intentions^t¹⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁸⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 92

10/3

Modest hurdler who was out of form when last seen. Mark is dropping and arrives on the back of another short break now.

Form: 6PP47-8

Shengai Enki²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Luke Scott⁽⁶⁾| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 96

3/1

Fair form in bumpers for Mark O'Hare. Sold for £28.000 and has shaped with minor encouragement over both hurdling outings to date. Likely improver now attentions are turned to handicaps.

Form: 98-342

Punches Cross^p⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Benjamin Macey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 81

13/2

Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but form has gone the wrong way for his current trainer. Mark tumbling but can only be of interest if the market vibes are positive.

Form: P7-494P

Saved By The River^b³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Daniel Sansom| T: J W Mullins| OR: 78

5/1

Cut little ice in bumpers and only poor form over jumps, so needs to up his game.

Form: U4P-635

Forecasts

My Gift To You (13/8), Shengai Enki (3/1), Rebel Intentions (10/3), Bari Breeze (10/3), Saved By The River (5/1), Punches Cross (13/2), Happy Company (10/1), Deer Hunter (14/1)

MY GIFT TO YOU has taken off since joining his current yard and is a confident choice to complete a hat-trick returned to hurdling. Shengai Enki is an interesting handicap debutant and Bari Breeze returned to form at Market Rasen last time.
