Highway One O Five¹⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 97| BF

4/1

Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (6/4) at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) 152 days ago. Needs considering after a break in his bid for a maiden victory.

Form: 495625-

Sanitiser¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 95| BF

4/1

Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat. Yet to strike over hurdles but has been knocking on the door this spring, good third at Huntingdon (15.8f) latest. Player.

Form: 3/43-232

Selectivelistening^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Andrews⁽³⁾| T: T Ellis| OR: 85

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden who took a step forward when second of 12 in handicap hurdle here (21.8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Holds solid claims.

Form: P75542

Joker De Thaix¹⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 85

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden but he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Taunton (19f, soft) when last seen 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return.

Form: 0/P48P-

Too Sharp^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Robbie David⁽⁷⁾| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 79

28/1

Modest maiden hurdler. Only seventh of 10 in novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to firm) 24 days ago so lots more is required with tongue strap back on for his handicap debut.

Form: 994/P7

Guinessed¹⁸⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: J & S Best| OR: 75

18/1

Underwent breathing surgery before beating only one in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Much more required on her handicap debut.

Form: 55/PF00-

Catboy^p1⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: Christian Williams| OR: 77

9/2

Has found his jumping holding him back over hurdles, fair fourth of 7 in handicap at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 69 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now in his bid for a breakthrough success.

Form: 535P-04

Onnaroll^h,t¹³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 69

33/1

Remains a maiden after 17 runs and only seventh of 9 in handicap chase here (19.5f, good) on his debut over fences 131 days ago. Reverts to hurdles with more needed.

Form: 4P368-7

Forecasts

Selectivelistening (2/1), Sanitiser (4/1), Highway One O Five (4/1), Catboy (9/2), Deal Em High (8/1), Joker De Thaix (10/1), Lady Caro (10/1), Simply Gorgeous (10/1), Guinessed (18/1), Too Sharp (28/1), Onnaroll (33/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and SANITISER, who arrives fit from the Flat and on a handy-looking mark, is taken to gain a maiden success in this sphere. Selectivelistening is feared most on the back of his good recent second here, with Highway One O Five also worthy of respect.
