Overabottleofred²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Fergus Gillard| T: T R Gretton| OR: 97

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who posted a very good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in May. Goes chasing on her return and this promising pointer is very much one to consider.

Form: U/5F4-3

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 92

Won 3 of 4 starts in points but limited impact in hunter chase/both starts over hurdles in 2022.

Form: 1416P7/

Mako Of The Glade^b1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 90

13/2

Fair form when reaching the frame in 2 juvenile hurdles in France in autumn 2021 but no impact in 4 runs following a lengthy absence for this yard, including on chase bow/return. Headgear on.

Form: 34/6P6-8

Gavroche D'allier^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 84

9/4

Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles in 2022/23. Positives to take from his yard/chase debut third here (2½m, soft) back from a 20-month absence and he is entitled to come on for that run with headgear re-fitted.

Form: 364P4/3

Ronnies Reflection^t²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 81

9/2

Little to shout about over hurdles but showed more following a second wind op when third on return/chase debut in an 8-runner handicap over C&D where he was ½-length adrift of runner-up Everyonesacritic. Pulled up at Market Rasen on Boxing Day, however.

Form: 995-P3P

Everyonesacritic^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 80| BF

9/4

Winning hurdler who fared better than previously in this sphere when second over C&D 3 weeks ago and needs considering off the same mark.

Form: 4-33842

Forecasts

Everyonesacritic (9/4), Gavroche D'allier (9/4), Ronnies Reflection (9/2), Mako Of The Glade (13/2), Overabottleofred (7/1), Racing Snake (11/1), Country Kitten (33/1)

GAVROCHE D'ALLIER offered something to work on back from a long absence when third on chase/yard debut here 4 weeks ago so gets the vote with improvement on the cards. Everyonesacritic and Overabottleofred are others to consider.
