Fair form in bumpers and well prepared to make a successful hurdles debut at Southwell 12 months ago. Similar form equipped with a tongue tie when runner-up next 3 starts in novice company last summer but absent since so interesting what the market makes of him now handicapping.
|
Fair handicapper on Flat and winner of both starts over hurdles in October, namely a Sedgefield maiden and novice event at Wetherby (both at around this trip). Recent spin on the level will ensure that she's not found wanting fitness-wise and she's of interest now handicapping.
|
Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for John Queally and made the frame on first 3 starts over hurdles upon joining Fergal O'Brien last summer. Lines up here fit from a couple of spins on the Flat and no reason why he won't give a good account back over hurdles.
|
Dual winner in novice handicap hurdles last season and in good heart around the turn of the year, again strong at the finish when fourth at Taunton (19f) in January. Possible he could do better again, including when tackling further.
|
Runner-up twice over fences in the autumn and came good back hurdling under today's pilot here (2m, soft) in March. Did well to make the frame after an early error when fourth in stronger affair at Cheltenham since and respected again in this groove.
|
Useful sort at his best on Flat and ran best race for some time in that sphere when a 10-length winner at Doncaster (11.9f) in March. Well held last of 3 at Pontefract subsequently and not the easiest to weigh up returned to this sphere.
|
Dual Flat winner who made a good start over hurdles, winning 2 of his 4 starts in juvenile hurdles in 2022. Well held on handicap debut/final start that year and betting may bet guide as to expectations now starting out for new yard following 19 months off.
|
Firmly back on track and justified good support in the process when landing a C&D handicap in February. Not disgraced faced with a stamina test when third at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) in March and he's been given time ahead of this.
|
Fair form when landing a Southwell maiden (20.4f) last spring for Gary Hanmer and shaped up well on debut for present stable when 6 lengths second of 5 over extended 21f here 4 weeks ago. Ease back in trip will help on that evidence and he could have a bit more to offer.
|
Promising start in handicap hurdles last spring and left pair of tame efforts well behind when winning 8-runner Warwick handicap (19f) 12 days ago, well suited by return to less testing conditions. Claims from 4 lb higher if arriving in same form.
|
At the veteran stage now but she was better than ever when landing 14-runner handicap at Taunton (19f, soft) in March. Good third at Wincanton later that month but never figured in face of stiffer task at Cheltenham (20.2f) 3 weeks ago.

Forecasts
Soldierofthestorm (3/1), Big Blue Moon (16/5), Cabhfuilfungi (9/2), Notnowlinda (7/1), Just Loose Change (11/1), My Chiquita (12/1), Sacchoandvanzetti (18/1), Silver Shade (22/1), Soldat Forte (25/1), Throne Hall (28/1), Just Go For It (33/1)
This looks competitive but MY CHIQUITA looked one to keep onside when winning a brace of maiden/novice hurdles late last year and, with a recent spin on the Flat likely to have put her spot on for this, she looks a live player on handicap debut. Cabhfuilfungi, Big Blue Moon and Notnowlinda are a trio of others with reasons to recommend them and head up the dangers.
- My Chiquita12/1
- Big Blue Moon16/5
