Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ellis Collier⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 100| D

6/4

Fair form in bumpers when in Ireland. Mixed record over hurdles but won at Stratford in August. Shaped quite well under a more patient ride up in trip when third at Hereford on chase bow 2 weeks ago. Entitled to improve and takes marked drop in class here for yard with fine Fakenham record.

Form: 2-46133

Extraordinary Man¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 96| D

15/8

Inconsistent but put it all together when narrow winner of 10-runner handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good) 15 days ago. Not an obvious one to follow up but respected all the same.

Form: 4F-U441

Templier^p,t²³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: James Best| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 91| BF| D

17/2

In fine form over fences in the spring, winning twice at up to 17f before a busy spell possibly caught up with him at Market Rasen towards the end of March. Returns to action 5 lb above last winning mark and not discounted for all his last 4 victories have come on heavy ground.

Form: 2P0114-

Berliet Express^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 85| D

10/1

Becoming well treated but showed nothing starting out for this yard at Exeter 4 weeks ago.

Form: 32425P

Millies Mite^t¹³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Ben Jones| T: K Jewell| OR: 80

5/1

Long-standing maiden who wasn't disgraced when third in handicap at Uttoxeter (2m) back in July. Mark has eased a little more back from 4 months off but others appeal more for win purposes.

Form: 363-3P3
