Small Bad Bob¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Freddie Gordon⁽⁵⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 105| BF

10/3

Fair winning hurdler/chaser for Paul Henderson and struck over hurdles at just the second time of asking for this yard at Plumpton in October. Brushed aside by the winner back there recently but that was a decent effort nonetheless and he's one to consider.

Form: 22176-2

Far Sight^t³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 101| BF

11/8

Made a winning start to his career in a Newton Abbot bumper in June 2022. Showed ability for previous yard last year and understandably shaped as though in need of the run when returning from a 13-month absence for new yard at Bangor (19.6f, soft) last month. Needs considering.

Cherry Cola¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 100| BF

14/1

Bagged 1¾m handicaps on the Flat at Yarmouth and Bath last year. 0-10 in this sphere but she has finished in the money on several occasions and could have a part to play.

Form: 8262/07-

Wrong Way Harry^h⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 94| CD

12/1

Suited by a sound pace when off the mark in a C&D handicap in December 2021. Sparsely campaigned since and failed to build on what was a fairly encouraging reappearance when finishing nearer last than first at Taunto last time.

Form: 31/5F67-

Garitsa Bay¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Todd| T: Ian Williams| OR: 93| BF

7/2

Didn't offer much in bumper/3 novice hurdle runs but built on promise of his handicap debut effort at Market Rasen when opening his account at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) last month. Creditable third over the same C&D recently and he could have more to offer.

Form: 86841-3

Warner's Cross¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson| OR: 90

12/1

Raised his game upped to this trip at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) where he finished a solid third off this mark. Strong each-way chance.

Form: 0563/F-3

No Quarter Asked^b¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: James Turner⁽⁷⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 74

40/1

Sole win came in handicap chase at Ffos Las in June 2021. Runner-up a couple of times over the larger obstacles during the winter but safely held back in this sphere recently and he's 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Form: 4/22PP-3

Forecasts

Far Sight (11/8), Mr Hope Street (5/2), Small Bad Bob (10/3), Garitsa Bay (7/2), Warner's Cross (12/1), Wrong Way Harry (12/1), Cherry Cola (14/1), No Quarter Asked (40/1)

SMALL BAD BOB bumped into a much-improved rival from the Paul Nicholls yard when runner-up at Plumpton recently and, on the assumption that Mr Hope Street doesn't go to post, he gets the nod. Far Sight and Garitsa Bay rate the main dangers but Warner's Cross is also worth a second look.
