V Twelve³³

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 97

11/2

Fairly useful 10f winner on the Flat for Ed Walker and, making his handicap hurdle debut, ran his best race in this sphere when runner-up at Carlisle (17.2f) in November. Not been in same form more recently, though.

Form: U2-5256

Chicago Gal⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: P W Wadge| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 93

10/1

Fair on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling on 2 of her 3 starts in juvenile events last season. Shaped pretty well on return/handicap debut at Musselburgh in December but not built on that and overall, her record stands at 0-17.

Form: 252-348

Raffles Wonder^h,t⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Aaron Anderson| T: R Menzies| OR: 86| D

5/6

Posted career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) 5 days ago, going clear. Looks well in under a 7 lb penalty and is the one to beat.

Form: 400631

Lone Soldier^h,t1⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 87

11/4

Hooded and posted his best run over hurdles when third of 8 at Southwell (20.4f, soft) on handicap debut 62 days ago, despite going freely again. Tongue strap on first time. May do better still.

Form: 6-8663

Cliffs Of Dooneen^t³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 82| D

100/1

Won a Carlisle handicap hurdle in April 2022 but clearly had his issues since and was beaten a long way on his return from a lengthy absence at Musselburgh last month.

Form: 1/6238-8

Hide Out^p,t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Joe Williamson| T: D Brooke| OR: 79

16/1

Long-standing maiden who made the frame in a couple of handicap hurdles this winter. Below form over fences at Sedgefield latest but warrants respect back over the smaller obstacles here.

Form: 8P6423

Haut Berry^h¹³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: A Crook| OR: 66

40/1

No show in bumpers/novice hurdles. Has a basement mark for handicap debut but still hard to make a strong case for. 5 lb out of the weights.

Form: 09/500-P

Forecasts

Raffles Wonder (5/6), Lone Soldier (11/4), V Twelve (11/2), Chicago Gal (10/1), Hide Out (16/1), Haut Berry (40/1), Cliffs Of Dooneen (100/1)

RAFFLES WONDER built on the promise of his previous start when getting off the mark at Hexham last week and is taken to follow up. Lone Soldier and Hide Out look the likeliest dangers.
