Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 94

11/2

Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, good, 16/5) 28 days ago. Still early days and probably has a bigger effort in him.

Form: 7/1423-2

Punches Cross^p⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Macey⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 79

6/1

Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien and best effort since joining current yard when third at this course 8 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that.

Form: 7-494P3

Redbridge Rosie^h¹⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Nick Scholfield| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 79

22/1

Hasn't progressed over hurdles and is likely to need this first run for 6 months, so others make more appeal.

Form: 47/434P-

Meechlands Magic³¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Reed| T: Mrs D A Hamer| OR: 71

11/1

Poor maiden hurdler who was last seen finishing a remote fourth at Ffos Las on chasing debut 10 months ago. Hard to imagine he'll feature.

Form: 49F544-

Horizon D'or^t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: J E Moore| T: A West| OR: 69

1/2

First run since leaving Neil Mulholland when second of 8 from out of the weights in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23f, good, 17/2) 11 days ago, pulling well clear with thrown-in winner. Should be able to go one better.

Form: P985-52

The Swede³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: H Brown| OR: 57

50/1

No sign of ability over hurdles to date. Best watched again.

Forecasts

Horizon D'or (1/2), Fine By Me (11/2), Punches Cross (6/1), Meechlands Magic (11/1), Redbridge Rosie (22/1), The Swede (50/1)

HORIZON D'OR showed much improved form when second from out of the weights on his debut for this yard at Bangor 11 days ago and a repeat of that sort of performance should be enough for him to go one better. Fine By Me made a pleasing return at the same course and looks the main danger.
