Backinaction²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 103| D

10/1

Off the mark in Irish points at third attempt in January and second of his 3 qualifying runs in this sphere at Taunton was pretty encouraging. Couldn't rule out some improvement now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 251P4-4

Charlie My Boy³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: R T Dunne| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 98

50/1

Big improver over hurdles when winning a pair of handicaps at up to 2½m for Keiran Burke at the start of last summer. However, hasn't shown any spark in a handful of appearances for present yard this year and is going into the unknown stamina-wise here.

Form: 15088-P

Gouazec^t,p³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: D A Rees| OR: 97| D

22/1

Successful 3 times from 16 starts between the flags and showed a bit more than on his first 2 starts over hurdles when fifth in a 14-runner Ffos Las novice (2¾m, good to soft) last month. Improvement is not out of the question now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 111/56-5

Ballyvaughan Bay²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 95

14/1

Placed on a couple of occasions in maiden hurdles but improvement has not been forthcoming switched to handicaps of late.

Form: 293V6-6

Starlyte^v1,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 94| C

7/1

Losing run mounting up but her mark reflects that she shouldn't be judged too harshly on what she's shown in a couple of runs since returning from a break last month. Drying ground here will aid her cause and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 4746-95

Hobb's Delight¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: James Bowen| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 92| CD

15/8

Much-improved switched to handicaps during the winter, dead-heating at Fontwell on Boxing Day and also successful over C&D in February. Respectable fourth back from a 4-month break at Cartmel 15 days ago and looks a big player with that run under his belt.

Form: 30121-4

Camilla's Choice^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Lily Pinchin| T: G Hanmer| OR: 88| D

14/1

Surpassed pick of her Irish form when making second start for this yard a winning one at Bangor (23f, good) last summer. Back down to that winning mark following a string of subsequent no-shows but she clearly needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 610PP-8

Prince Nino^p,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 87

28/1

Struck gold twice at Perth in 2023 but form has tailed off since his latest success in September and efforts since the turn of the year have been poor. First run beyond 2¾m.

Form: 44P7P-8

Justshortofabubble^t,p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Jones| T: G Harris| OR: 86| D

9/2

Has proved remarkably consistent and likely to continue in that vein judged on recent reappearance fourth of 11 at Bangor (23.2f, good to soft). Shaped as though he'd come on for that run and a bold show could be on the way.

Form: 141F3-4

Lord Getaway^p²⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-10| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 85| D

28/1

Losing run stretches back to 2018 and this 12-y-o has offered little in 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in March.

Form: 64F6/P-7

Release The Kraken^v¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: M Keighley| OR: 82

15/2

Remains winless following 15 attempts over hurdle and likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: UPP/P4-2

Lion's Vigil¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR: 77

12/1

Remains winless in this sphere following 10 attempts but was still in contention when exiting 3 out at Uttoxeter early last month and has subsequently made the frame at Ludlow (3m, good to firm) and Newton Abbot (18.5f, soft). Solid each-way chance.

Form: 84/7-F43

Non-Runners

The Wise Traveller¹⁵

Weight: 11-12| Age: 8

T: Mrs S J Humphrey J: Jamie Gambin

Forecasts

Hobb's Delight (15/8), The Wise Traveller (4/1), Justshortofabubble (9/2), Starlyte (7/1), Release The Kraken (15/2), Backinaction (10/1), Lion's Vigil (12/1), Ballyvaughan Bay (14/1), Camilla's Choice (14/1), Gouazec (22/1), Lord Getaway (28/1), Prince Nino (28/1), Charlie My Boy (50/1)

Judged on his recent reappearance effort at Cartmel, HOBB'S DELIGHT remains on a fair mark and his two best efforts to date have come over this C&D. He gets the nod ahead of Starlyte, who should be close to the boil following a couple of spins last month and she has slipped to a dangerous mark. The consistent Justshortofabubble, Lion's Vigil and The Wise Traveller all make each-way appeal, while Backinaction also needs a second look now pitched into a handicap.
