Our Bill's Aunt^t⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 105

9/2

Opened her account at Chepstow on last season's reappearance but she's yet to hit top form both runs this term, having a wind op before third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 48 days ago. More is needed.

Form: 3332-33

Parikarma^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 105

10/1

Added another victory to her tally in 2m claiming hurdle at Leicester last month but came in last of six back in a handicap at Kempton 17 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 2-92716

Molto Bene^t³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 103

10/3

Thrice-raced maiden who took her form up a notch in first-time tongue tie when third of 9 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Warwick (19f, heavy) 35 days ago, going on well at finish. Open to more progress now handicapping.

Form: 5P3

Only Fools^h,t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 82| D

7/4

Landed 21f handicap hurdle at Ludlow in November (strong form) and backed that up when third at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 34 days ago. Well in the mix.

Form: 435713

Wonderweasle⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 82

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who has come in well held on both runs over fences at Musselburgh and Lingfield this winter. Needs this switch to hurdles to spark a resurgence.

Form: 3-5458

Forecasts

Only Fools (7/4), Politacus (9/4), Molto Bene (10/3), Wonderweasle (7/2), Our Bill's Aunt (9/2), Parikarma (10/1)

POLITACUS has yet to really fire over hurdles given her useful winning bumper form but looks to have got in lightly for her handicap bow so gets the nod with this return to a longer distance also a likely plus. Fellow handicap debutante Molto Bene also looks to have more to offer and is next on the list ahead of in-form Only Fools.
