Planet Legend^p⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Oliver Boyden⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 117

4/1

Placed in 3 handicaps in a row at around this trip this year, finding only one too good back from a break at Worcester in September. Folded as though amiss at Huntingdon since, but clear shout if shrugging that off, and expected to kick on in front.

Form: 472-32P

Captain Potter^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Midgley| T: B Ellison| OR: 114| C

10/1

Hurdles winner for yard at the start of the year and also opened account on the level in 2m handicap here last month. Needs more from this mark.

Form: 417-

You Some Girl^h,t⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 84| C

4/11

Finally got off the mark as a hurdler in 3m Newcastle handicap last week, hard to believe it took her so long given the way she won, no inkling of her getting out of it after she scythed through the field under this rider. Good chance under penalty having landed a bumper here.

Form: 2-33321

Balkotic^t,v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 87| CD

16/1

Modest handicap hurdler, last win came in this in 2022 while he was third last year. More needed.

Form: 5-33595

Forecasts

You Some Girl (4/11), Planet Legend (4/1), Captain Potter (10/1), Balkotic (16/1)

YOU SOME GIRL isn't straightforward but won well at Newcastle under Charlie Maggs last week and can follow up under a penalty if in the same form. Planet Legend might be the danger.
