Salvatore^p1,t1³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 95

1/2

Useful on the Flat for Peter Schiergen, winning twice from 4 starts in 2022. Hasn't troubled the judge in a handful of runs over hurdles so far but it's not hard to envisage a bold show from this 5-y-o now pitched into a handicap for his in-form yard. Tongue strap applied.

Form: 759

Mountain Bay²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 94

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden who showed some ability when fifth in Wincanton novice in November but he hasn't built on that in 3 subsequent starts.

Form: 7-7506P

Crews Pitch¹²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: D A Jacob| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 93| D

8/1

Poor form over hurdles for previous stable and shaped as if better for run when only fifth in a handicap at Ludlow on chasing debut. 3 lb lower back in this sphere for new yard and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 52653-5

Martin Spirit^t⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Lee Edwards| T: A West| OR: 83WS

7/2

Winner over fences in France and has hit the crossbar several times over hurdles. However, record stands at 0-23 in this sphere and he's opposable. Has undergone a wind op since latest start.

Form: 025-780

Sawpit Samantha^p1⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: S Bowen| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 78

18/1

Has offered little over hurdles so far and hopes now pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement.

Form: 6/766-6P

Forecasts

Salvatore (1/2), Sanitiser (9/4), Martin Spirit (7/2), Garitsa Bay (6/1), Uncle Arthur (13/2), Crews Pitch (8/1), Sawpit Samantha (18/1), Mountain Bay (20/1)

There should be better to come from dual Flat winner SALVATORE now that he moves into handicap company off what looks a fair opening mark. Sanitiser is clear second choice on the back of his eye-catching spin at Kempton, which was his first start over hurdles for the Gary Moore yard, while Crews Pitch and Uncle Arthur both have each-way claims.
