Soldier Of Destiny^p1,t⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: William Featherstone⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 117

14/1

Useful chaser but only fair form over hurdles, including fourth when a short-priced favourite for a Catterick novice in December. Switches back to the smaller obstacles after a fall over fences last time.

Form: 292/4PF-

Behind The Curtain¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 108

16/1

Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland who, following a couple of no-shows over fences for this yard, belied odds of 50/1 when landing a handicap back in this sphere at Wincanton in March. Respectable fifth at Taunton 19 days ago and can't be dismissed back up in trip.

Form: 4/FP1P5-

Face d'Music⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price| OR: 105

2/1

£100,000 purchase having been placed only start in Irish points and fair form over hurdles, back on track when runner-up at Ffos Las 6 days ago. Can feature if the race doesn't come too soon.

Form: 22U37-2

Kick Up A Storm^p,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 103

5/6

11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, left previous efforts well behind when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, good) 24 days ago, pushed out. Bred to do better still and should take all the beating.

Form: 6/3671-

Izzy's Grey¹⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C Gethings| T: B Clarke| OR: 96

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Jennie Candlish when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft, 9/1) 165 days ago. Needs to up his game.

Form: 3225-

Jukebox D'eddy^h⁸⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 87

33/1

With the hood left off, completed for the first time since the spring when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in January but below form at this course next time and has something to prove after 3 months off. Hood back on.

Form: 6/7PU46-

Forecasts

Kick Up A Storm (5/6), Face d'Music (2/1), Izzy's Grey (11/1), Soldier Of Destiny (14/1), Behind The Curtain (16/1), Jukebox D'eddy (33/1)

KICK UP A STORM was much improved in first-time cheekpieces when making a successful handicap debut at Exeter and he's fancied to go in again at the likely expense of Face d'Music, who arrives on the back of a solid showing. Soldier of Destiny should benefit from the return to hurdling, so he can't be ruled out.
