Mistral Blue³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Fern O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 107

11/1

Not built on novice hurdle success at Doncaster (19.4f) in December in a couple of starts this year but tries a longer trip on handicap debut and isn't discounted.

Form: 5/02167-

Off To A Flyer^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 107

9/4

Successful over hurdles at Ayr last spring but below that level since, including over fences more recently. Plenty to prove back over the smaller obstacles.

Form: 47PP5-5

The Bold Thady^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Joe Anderson| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 102

5/2

Tricky customer but finally off the mark in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) under this pilot 19 days ago. 4 lb rise fair if in same form again.

Form: 23B25-1

The Wise Traveller¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Gambin⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 101| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner but finished well-beaten fourth behind The Bold Thady in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Fontwell latest and is still 3 lb above his last winning mark.

Form: 3/7117-4

Kingston Kid^t¹⁸⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: G Howell| OR: 100

16/1

Boasts just the one win from 25 NH runs and out of sorts when last seen for Eugene M. O'Sullivan during second half of last year. Tongue strap back on. Work to do on debut for new yard.

Form: 74F669-

Endofconversation^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Lewis Stones| T: S England| OR: 84

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden who found improvement when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (19.6f, good) 32 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and merits consideration.

Form: 2/P87P6-

Forecasts

Off To A Flyer (9/4), The Bold Thady (5/2), The Wise Traveller (9/2), Endofconversation (9/2), Mistral Blue (11/1), Kingston Kid (16/1)

The step up in trip should suit ENDOFCONVERSATION, who offered more here last time and remains low mileage. The Bold Thady isn't straightforward but rates the chief threat nonetheless.
