Omaha Wish^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Alice Stevens| T: S Allwood| OR: 100

80/1

Opened her account over fences at Fakenham (16.3f) in June. Fell next time and disappointing both completed starts since, including (equipped with tongue strap) on debut for new yard when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 33-1F75

Mourzouk^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Tristan Durrell| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 100

17/2

Has fallen 15 lb below last winning mark but it's been well over 2 years since that latest success and it's been more a case of miss than hit in 6 outings over hurdles this year. Switch to larger obstacles needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 540468

Jac Jumper^p1,t³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Chris Ward| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 100

9/2

Hurdles winner in France who has been holding form well in defeat over fences this year, the longer trip seeming to stretch him when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f) 38 days ago. Return to shorter in his favour now with cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 6-P2244

Iron D'ex^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 97

9/1

Scored on his chasing bow at Ludlow in October and dispelled a lesser effort in the mud refitted with cheekpieces when fourth in 8-runner handicap chase here (2m) 2 weeks ago. Step back up in trip in his favour here and he's not out of things.

Form: 5PP-174

Lightonthewing²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Ellis Collier⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 95| D

33/1

Resumed with success at Newton Abbot but pulled up in race won by re-opposing Boys of Wexford at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 24 days ago. Fact that was his first start for 6 months offers some mitigation but he does need to take a big step forward.

Form: 123-1FP

Get Cracking⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 93| D

18/1

Successful in points but little impact in bumper/trio of maiden hurdles so far this year. Still switch to handicaps over larger obstacles could help now and interesting if the market spoke in his favour.

Form: 4-13674

Supasunrise^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 90

6/1

Returned from 5 months off/wind surgery with a good second at Southwell in October and similar form despite a mixed round of jumping when third of 10 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f) 3 weeks ago. Can give another good account for all he's yet to defy a mark this high.

Form: 43-P253

Mister Upton^p1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 85

13/2

No great shakes over hurdles but much improved to make a winning start in this sphere at Fontwell (19.5f) in May. Latest fourth back at that venue (following 6 months off) was a solid display but his present mark looks to demand that bit more.

Form: P94-144

Boys Of Wexford^p²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Dylan Johnston| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 83

10/3

Ended last season in good form and showed benefit of his reappearance run when winning 6-runner handicap chase (6/1) at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 24 days ago, asserting from 2 out and forging clear. Needs considering from 5 lb higher mark in this groove.

Form: 6322-P1

Fashion's Model^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Joe Anderson| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 81

66/1

Sent chasing last season, off the mark on final start of the campaign as she landed mares' handicap at Wincanton (20.2f, heavy) in April. However, failed to come on for reappearance run when pulled up at Ludlow 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 24P1-8P

Outback Frontiers^p1²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Ned Fox| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 81

22/1

Twice a winner over hurdles, latterly at Stratford (18.7f) in July. However, finished well held on first start in this sphere when fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f) 4 weeks ago (reportedly bled). Drop back in trip likely in his favour.

Form: 471265

Pescatorius^p1,t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 78

11/2

Getaway gelding who has yet to better poor form over hurdles, including in 2 handicaps since the tongue tie went on this winter. Big step forward required if he's to feature now sent chasing. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 75P7-07

Robeam^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Lewis Stones| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 71

50/1

Out of sorts for some time now over hurdles/on Flat, merely passing beaten rivals when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 66/1) 30 days ago, Far from an obvious one now sent chasing from out of the weights.

Form: 449P-P7

Forecasts

Boys Of Wexford (10/3), Jac Jumper (9/2), Pescatorius (11/2), Supasunrise (6/1), Mister Upton (13/2), Mourzouk (17/2), Iron D'ex (9/1), Get Cracking (18/1), Outback Frontiers (22/1), Lightonthewing (33/1), Robeam (50/1), Fashion's Model (66/1), Omaha Wish (80/1)

BOYS OF WEXFORD showed the benefit of his reappearance run when running out a comfortable winner at Fontwell 24 days ago and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold showing. Jac Jumper back down in trip/equipped with first-time cheekpieces and Supasunrise are others to consider, as is Iron d'Ex back at this longer trip.
