King's Castle^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Bryan Carver| T: J Scott| OR: 108| D

11/4

Fairly useful performer at best on the Flat who is going the right way over hurdles, again travelling powerfully when completing the hat-trick at Newton Abbot last month. 3 lb rise won't prevent a very bold bid for the 4-timer.

Form: 243-111

Belle Of Annandale¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Keatley| OR: 108| BF

9/2

Successful twice over hurdles during second half of 2023. Back from a quiet spell when third in first-time cheekpieces at Perth in June but since finished last of 7 back on the level.

Form: 143P0-3

Langton Wold²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: B Ellison| OR: 105| D

14/1

Fair Flat winner who opened his account over hurdles at the third attempt in maiden at Sedgefield (17f) on Boxing Day. Creditable fourth in a handicap hurdle in February but heavy defeat on the back of a breathing operation at Cartmel needs casting aside.

Form: 2214-30

Cillians Charm^p1²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 105| D

25/1

Fairly useful form at best in Ireland, but after a 14-month absence, he's yet to prove that he retains this much ability for this yard. Cheekpieces replace hood.

Form: 130/009

Hill Spirit³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: Paula Smith| OR: 108

28/1

Fair form when making the frame in trio of bumpers and similar level when successful in junior hurdle at Ludlow (15.7f) in January. Not at that level both starts after in this sphere and Flat runs since hardly brimming with promise on the whole. Has left Archie Watson.

River Gold⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 108| DWS

12/1

Won a claiming hurdle in France last summer but having transferred to powerful yard, she hasn't come close to that level in 3 starts, albeit she was second of 4 at Ludlow in January. Drop back in trip probably in her favour having had a breathing operation.

Form: 31P2-8

Captain Attridge¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Lee Edwards| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 104

7/2

Came good on 2m Hereford handicap debut in May and better form when runner-up there 17 days later. No disgrace in finding an improving sort too good back in a novice last time and he can give it another good go.

Form: 365-122

Bannister^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 103| D

3/1

Multiple winner for Tom George and having dropped a long way in the weights, he showed much more than on stable debut when fourth over C&D a fortnight ago, running on. Major player from the same mark.

Form: 56/527-4

Logan Rocks¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: J M Quinlan| T: Olly Williams| OR: 101

50/1

Fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy during 2019/20 season but offered little in 3 starts since returning from 4-year absence.

Form: 365/P50

Forecasts

King's Castle (11/4), Bannister (3/1), Captain Attridge (7/2), Belle Of Annandale (9/2), River Gold (12/1), Langton Wold (14/1), Cillians Charm (25/1), Hill Spirit (28/1), Logan Rocks (50/1)

BANNISTER lurks on a very attractive mark these days and there were enough positives to draw from his fourth-place finish over C&D a fortnight ago to think he's up to taking advantage. King's Castle is on a roll at present and won't give up his unbeaten sequence lightly, with Captain Attridge also of interest.
