Age: 4| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 100

11/8

Fair Flat performer who has reached the frame on all bar one of his 6 starts over hurdles. Seemed to have his stamina stretched on heavy ground when fourth at Kelso back hurdling last month and respected on what is likely to be a sounder surface this time.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: A E Jones| OR: 97

85/40

Showed a fair bit in bumpers and produced a standout effort over hurdles when third in a Newbury maiden back in December 2021. Not troubled the judge since, though, including pulled up on chase debut when last seen in February. Could only consider if backed.

Royal Max^p1,t1⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 94

20/1

Modest for Nicky Henderson and no show in 2 handicap hurdles for this yard. A first-time tongue tie and cheekpieces combination needs to make a big difference.

Form: 54-73P7

Ferrybridge^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jamie Gambin⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 90

9/4

Didn't show much when trained in Ireland. Hit and miss for new trainer but penultimate Huntingdon fourth wasn't too bad and he's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Forecasts

Ring Of Beara (11/8), Jack's A Legend (85/40), Ferrybridge (9/4), We Gotta Getaway (5/1), Duneomeno (6/1), Criquette (15/2), Sarsen (8/1), She Has Notions (10/1), Royal Max (20/1)

RING OF BEARA should be suited by the return to likely less testing conditions and might be up to giving the weight away to lesser opposition. Second choice is We Gotta Getaway, who could take a step forward now handicapping for the first time. Ferrybridge might also be capable of making an impact having been dropped 6 lb.
