Thorpeness^h,t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 92

125/1

Fair start over hurdles for Dan Skelton when placed in a couple of maidens last summer but struggled since, including for this yard.

Form: 258PP-P

Climate Precedent¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 95WS

3/1

Fair maiden on the Flat for Michael Bell who made a solid yard (for James Owen)/hurdling debut when second at Uttoxeter in July. Failed to progress after but starts life with Dan Skelton off a potentially decent mark on return (has had breathing operation).

Form: 2435-

Zhang Fei⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 90

9/2

Fair winner on Flat who has looked difficult over hurdles, pulling hard and left with plenty to do when fifth at Southwell on handicap bow.

Form: 487-5

Oval Street^b²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Sean P O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 89

22/1

Multiple point winner but only modest form over obstacles so far, placed last 2 starts. Opening mark in this sphere not kind.

Form: 43542-3

City Roller^v,t¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: K Brogan| T: L Horsfall| OR: 88| BF

3/1

Maiden who has run better with a tongue tie added to visor last 4 starts, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 13 days ago. This less competitive.

Form: PP94-26

Ryder's Rock^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 86

10/1

Poor maiden. Creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (2¼m) but disappointed at Hereford since.

Form: 22753-5

Sister Julienne^b1,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 79

25/1

Displayed ability in bumpers and similar story when second on return/hurdles debut at Hereford (16.2f) in October. Not got near that level since, however, including on handicap bow latest. Headgear on.

Form: 27/2P6-7

Tampico Rocco²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 74

11/1

Potentially on a good mark on the form he showed when seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago but he seemed to excel himself that day.

Form: 4/F7P3-7

Lookingdandy²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: R T Dunne| T: P D Evans| OR: 72

9/2

Didn't shown much spark in 6 runs over hurdles for previous yard but arrives in good form off the Flat (won last time) so interesting to see how he fares this time around.

Form: 00098/P-

What An Icon^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: David Noonan| T: C J Down| OR: 73

40/1

Poor maiden on Flat who has offered little over hurdles so far. 3 lb out of weights.

Form: 6PP-87

Forecasts

Climate Precedent (3/1), City Roller (3/1), Lookingdandy (9/2), Zhang Fei (9/2), Ryder's Rock (10/1), Tampico Rocco (11/1), Oval Street (22/1), Sister Julienne (25/1), What An Icon (40/1), Thorpeness (125/1)

CLIMATE PRECEDENT lost his way for James Owen but starts life off a potentially decent mark for Dan Skelton as a result. Lookingdandy arrives in good form off the Flat so it will be interesting to see what he can do over hurdles this time for his current yard. City Roller is best of the others.
