Off time: 14:30 | Winning time: 5m 30.9s

Ghost Hunter³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Bromley| T: W Greatrex| OR: 105

10/1

£80,000 buy after finishing second in an Irish point in April and best effort to date over hurdles when fourth at Plumpton last time. Needs to step up again on handicap debut.

Form: 2-944

Followango³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Isabel Williams| T: Evan Williams| OR: 104| BF| C

9/2

Point/bumper winner who has shown plenty in 4 starts since switched to hurdles, finishing third in a 19.5f Chepstow handicap last time. Could take the beating.

Form: 1-13223

Bobalot^t,v³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Joe Anderson| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 100

14/1

Resumed winning ways back hurdling in 9-runner 2¾m Fontwell handicap in January. Pulled up at Warwick since but could bounce back with visor refitted.

Form: 54P14P

Breizh Alko³⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁸⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 97

18/1

Veteran who had cheekpieces refitted when posting a creditable third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (27f) in February. Added to record of non-completions over fences at Chepstow so this return to timber should suit.

Form: 21P-33P

Bert Wilson^t,v³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Thomosina Eyston⁽³⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 92

14/1

Reacted well to a visor last season, winning handicap hurdles at Plumpton and Chepstow. Hard to predict though and fell at Taunton when last seen three months ago.

Form: 14-P4PF

Hermes Le Gris^t³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 90| BF| D

2/1

Has hit the ground running for his new yard, easily bagging 14-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, heavy) last month. Came up short under a penalty at Fakenham 8 days later, though, and latest effort at Hereford wasn't his best.

Form: 35F126

Wonderweasle¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Bradley Harris| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 83| CD

2/1

9/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 16 days ago. She's expected to be bang there again.

Form: 545831

Forecasts

Hermes Le Gris (2/1), Wonderweasle (2/1), Followango (9/2), Ghost Hunter (10/1), Bobalot (14/1), Bert Wilson (14/1), Breizh Alko (18/1)

FOLLOWANGO looked promising before a respectable handicap debut at Chepstow last time and she looks feasibly treated based on her bumper form, so she gets the nod over last-time-out C&D winner Wonderweasle. Hermes Le Gris is a potential player if back on track.
