Bread And Butter^t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Lewis Saunders⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 105| D

15/8

Has fallen appreciably in the weights and better than for a while refitted with a tongue strap after 4 months off when third of 9 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Taunton (19f, good) 27 days ago. Big chance if backing that up under a 10-lb conditional.

Scudamore^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 100

7/1

Ran creditably after 10 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good, 10/1) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Entitled to strip fitter for the outing, so can't be ruled out.

Form: 431/227-

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: R G Hawker| OR: 99| D

25/1

Three wins from 7 runs last season but ran out at the sixth on first run since leaving Milton Harris in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Best watched on the back of that.

Forecasts

Bread And Butter (15/8), Hugueneau (6/1), Alioski (6/1), Gms Prince (6/1), Ve Day (13/2), Scudamore (7/1), Lighthouse Mill (11/1), Miss Applejack (14/1), Ballyvaughan Bay (16/1), Nadim (25/1)

BREAD AND BUTTER has fallen appreciably in the weights and gets the nod under a good-value 10-lb conditional having taken a big step back in the right direction when third at Taunton last month. Miss Applejack, a fair bumper winner, could improve switched to a handicap following a break, while Scudamore is entitled to strip fitter for his recent outing and merits consideration, also.
