33/1

Found wins hard to come by over hurdles but took well to chasing, winning 4 of his last 5 starts, improving again when wide-margin winner of 4-runner event at Stratford when last seen in June. That race rather fell apart and 7 lb higher now but respected all the same.

Form: 311-311

13/2

Progressive over fences, off the mark at Taunton (18.2f, good to soft) on third start. Good runner-up efforts next 2 starts, meeting some trouble at Hereford last time. Remains of interest.

Form: 6-42122

Hatos^t,v1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: R P McLernon| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 107| C

7/2

Off the mark in this sphere at Ffos Las (16f) last month and improved on that when following up in 4-runner handicap here (15.7f, heavy). Not in same form at Leicester since but was having third run on heavy ground within the space of 4 weeks. Change of headgear. Unproven beyond 2m.

Form: 5-74112

Sherborne^t⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 104| CD

11/4

Won twice over hurdles and confirmed the promise of previous starts in this sphere when winning C&D event in December. Pulled up at Exeter next time but wasted no time getting back on track when third at Lingfield, 2 lengths down when stumbled on landing last (not recover). Player.

Form: 4241P3

Moytier^p,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Cobden| T: S Hosie| OR: 104| CD

5/4

Had been shaping up well prior to opening his account in ready fashion over C&D (heavy) 4 weeks ago. Handicapper has reacted but no surprise to see him go well once more with Harry Cobden onboard again. Engaged 3.50 Taunton Tuesday.

Forecasts

Moytier (5/4), Sherborne (11/4), Hatos (7/2), Abingworth (13/2), Plenty Of Time (7/1), I Love You Sivola (25/1), Begin The Luck (33/1)

A case can be made for most but it might be worth chancing SHERBORNE, who was a good winner over this C&D in December and shaped better than the bare result at Lingfield 6 weeks ago. Abingworth is having a good first season over fences and remains on a fair mark, so is next best ahead of the returning Begin The Luck.
