Just In A Bit³²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Andrews⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 99WS

7/1

Placed both starts between the flags and showed promise in novice hurdles (both at around 2½m) at Southwell and Leicester. Failed to see his race out switched to a handicap at Hereford last month and has since had a breathing operation. Amateur takes over in the saddle.

Form: 3-2438

Kinder Kid⁹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 90| CD

11/8

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 9-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) 9 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Still very much unexposed and looks capable of following up under a penalty.

Form: 3/65451

Ushuaia Dancer³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: Justin Landy| OR: 90

11/1

Matched his previous form upped in trip for his handicap debut when runner-up at Newcastle (22f) in January. However, proved to be a disappointment at Doncaster the following month.

Form: 0P542P

It's Maisy³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 89| BF

9/2

Made the perfect start in handicaps at Market Rasen and followed up over a still longer trip at Catterick, albeit in fortuitous fashion. No match for an improved one at Southwell last time but shaped as if still in good form. Can go well.

Form: 51-9112

Bullion Boss^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 87| D

28/1

Modest handicap hurdler who shaped as if needing the run after 24 months off when well held at Carlisle 3 weeks ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code.

Form: 434P3/9

Champagne Gift^b1²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 77

40/1

Poor maiden who offered little back over hurdles after 6 months off when a well-held third of 7 in handicap at Taunton (19f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on for 1st time.

Form: 6-447P3

Asa^t1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 74

14/1

Regressive maiden who showed little sign of taking advantage of her much-reduced mark. Tries a longer trip now and fitted with a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 3-76663

Howzat Hiris^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Alice Stevens⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 74| D

11/1

Ran one of this season's better races when eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good, 16/1) 19 days ago, though never threatened to be concerned in the finish.

Form: P-62468

Oliver's Island^b,t⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-2| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 70| CD

6/1

Veteran who shaped as if still in good form when 9½ lengths fourth of 9 to Kinder Kid in C&D handicap (heavy) 9 days ago, barely adequate test. 3 lb out of the weights.

Form: 536224

Forecasts

Kinder Kid (11/8), It's Maisy (9/2), Oliver's Island (6/1), Just In A Bit (7/1), Ushuaia Dancer (11/1), Howzat Hiris (11/1), Asa (14/1), Missy Ava (20/1), Bullion Boss (28/1), Champagne Gift (40/1)

KINDER KID was well suited by the step up to 3m when opening his account in ready fashion over C&D last week and is fully expected to follow up under a penalty. It's Maisy should continue in form, while Just In A Bit shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Hereford and may have benefited from a breathing operation.
