Has failed to shine in 3 starts so far this season but he would be a serious player off this reduced mark if able to reproduce the level form he showed in novice events at Wetherby and Taunton last term.
|
Got off the mark in Irish points at second attempt and while he hasn't shown much under Rules to this point, improvement may well be forthcoming now pitched into a handicap with first-time blinkers added.
|
Long time without a win and he's best watched here following a 19-month absence.
|
On a good mark judged on last season's peak hurdles form but she hasn't made much of an impact in a handful of runs over fences.
|
Opened her account in a 2m Fakenham handicap hurdle in December but, somewhat unsurprisingly given her record, she hasn't come close to matching that level of form in 2 subsequent starts.
|
Comfortably held in 2 bumpers last spring and similar story over hurdles so far, most recently pulled up on her chase debut at Huntingdon. Now tried in cheekpieces and takes a sizeable step up in trip here (first run beyond 19.6f).
|
Maiden who showed a bit first 2 starts in novice hurdles last season. No real progress since switched to handicaps but ability is there and it wouldn't be a surprise were he to raise his game a notch in first-time cheekpieces.
|
Winner at Bangor for Alan King back in 2022 but hasn't covered himself in glory in 5 starts over fences for new yard since returning form a break in September. Others prererred.
|
Remains a maiden but has posted a series of creditable efforts in defeat since undergoing a wind op last spring, including when second at Taunton (23.9f, soft) recently. One to consider.
|
Chase winner but record stands at 0-14 over hurdles, not always helping himself with some sloppy jumping. On the upside, he has edged down to a potentially handy mark and is not without hope.
|
Not disgraced when fourth at Hereford in October but well held at Uttoxeter just before Christmas and his losing run is mounting up.
|
Remains a maiden after 18 runs overall but he no doubt possesses the required ability to pick up a race or two, particularly if judged on his effort at Ludlow in November. Likely player.
|
Improved to win a 23f Uttoxeter handicap last spring but it's all been rather inauspicious since and she looks up against it.
|
Has cut little ice in points and his five runs over hurdles to date, most recently pulled up in a handicap at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy). Best to look elsewhere.
|
Modest maiden who was pulled up when returning from an 11-month absence at Plumpton 12 days ago. Readily passed over.
|
Third on completed outing in Irish points but has offered little in 3 starts under Rules to date. Big step forward needed now pitched into a handicap.

Forecasts
My Girl Katie (10/3), Ginderella (4/1), Newtonian (5/1), Fantomas (13/2), Rockwiththetimes (10/1), Inchester D'amsyl (11/1), Captain Copper (16/1), Elfride (16/1), Johns Dream (18/1), Sea Village (22/1), Molly's Third Man (22/1), Lady Berlais (28/1), Methusalar (33/1), Robeam (33/1), Lord Getaway (50/1), Cards Are Dealt (80/1)
This looks wide open and a chance is taken on INCHESTER D'AMSYL, who is now 13 lb lower in the weights compared to when making his handicap debut last spring and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will help give him a lift. Ginderella has been knocking on the door of late and she is feared most ahead of Newtonian.
