Racing To School Claiming Hurdle

Moarins Moarnin^h¹¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: K Brogan| T: L Morgan

28/1

Showed ability amidst inexperience when third in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.8f) in October. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up at Musselburgh (15.5f) a month later though and connections quickly opt for a drop in class. Market may prove a useful guide.

Form: 3P

Baron De Midleton^b¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 125| D

11/8

Useful sort at best who capitalised on handicapper's mercy at Market Rasen (20.6f) in January. Dispelled lesser effort at Leicester when third at Newcastle (16.8f) 11 days ago and big shout on these terms back down in grade.

Form: P-PP143

Foveros³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁵⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 116| D

7/4

Mixed record for Willie Mullins but seems to be finding his feet for new yard, second of 5 dropped to claiming company at Leicester (15.5f) 5 weeks ago. A repeat here gives him a good shout.

Form: 0-67362

Coup De Gold^p²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 84| BF| C

17/2

Snapped losing run at Sedgefield (16.8f) in January and ran creditably turned out quickly when fourth back at that venue (19.8f) last month. However, no easy task on these terms dropped into claiming company down in trip.

Form: 422614

Believe Jack^b1,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 107| D

13/2

Back to winning ways in first-time cheekpieces when leading late on in Market Rasen selling handicap (16.5f) on Boxing Day. However, not gone with same zest either outing since, struggling from 4 out at Hereford (19.6f) 10 days ago. Blinkers/tongue tie go on back down in class.

Form: 4/P4155

Noble Annys³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin| T: W Storey| OR: 80

18/1

Showed ability in bumpers in Ireland. Barely modest form over hurdles for current yard, failing to build on promise of her penultimate run at Musselburgh when well held in big-field handicap at Doncaster (16.6f) 38 days ago. Others preferred eased in class.

Form: 953P40

Forecasts

Baron De Midleton (11/8), Foveros (7/4), Allbetsoff (5/1), Believe Jack (13/2), Coup De Gold (17/2), Noble Annys (18/1), Moarins Moarnin (28/1)

BARON DE MIDLETON quickly returned to form when third in handicap company at Newcastle 11 days ago and, holding excellent claims on these terms down in grade, Brian Ellison's veteran looks the one to side with. That said Foveros is finding his feet for his new yard and is a player, with Allbetsoff another who can feature.
