20/1

Fair in bumpers but finished well held sent hurdling at Sedgefield (19.8f) in November. Needs to leave that behind.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

2/1

Placed in points. Shaped with encouragement only outing in bumpers back in November 2022 and did the same sent hurdling in a tongue strap when fourth of 12 in a novice here (20.3f) 25 days ago. Open to improvement.

Jaminoz^b⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

9/1

Fair Flat winner for Jim Goldie who ran to a similar level on yard/hurdles debut in refitted blinkers when third in an Ayr novice (2m, soft) in December, staying on. Went the wrong way at Wetherby subsequently so needs to get back on track.

Form: 38

Lemoine⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart

2/1

Made the fame all 3 starts in bumpers (modest form) and showed up quite well on hurdling debut over C&D in December. Open to improvement.

Form: 33-45

Mount Gallion³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: M Walford

5/1

Regressed in bumpers in Ireland but offered something to work on sent hurdling for new yard when fifth of 10 in a 19f Catterick novice 31 days ago. Not without hope if he can build on that.

Form: P4-3485

Tineggiori²¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford

6/1

Left debut form well behind when landing 10-runner bumper at Hexham in June, staying on to lead on line. Ran to a similar level under a penalty when third at Stratford the following month and needs considering now sent over hurdles with yard amongst the winners.

Form: 7-13

Forecasts

From The Clouds (2/1), Lemoine (2/1), Mount Gallion (5/1), Tineggiori (6/1), Jaminoz (9/1), Breizh River (20/1), Naughty Nancie (33/1), Aldbourne (40/1), Dixie Cowboy (66/1)

TINEGGIORI, a fair bumper winner, sets out over hurdles with his yard amongst the winners, so he's fancied to come out on top in what looks a winnable race. From The Clouds is the pick of the Lucinda Russell trio, with Lemoine also feared following an encouraging debut in this sphere over C&D in December.
