Chestnut Pete^t¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Katy Price| OR: 100

22/1

Fair maiden hurdler who has gone close a few times over fences but well held starting out for this yard at Hereford after 17 months off. Entitled to come on for that at least.

Form: 2U/222-9

Sangiovese^b1²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 98| C

17/2

Won a novice handicap hurdle here last season and runner-up next 2 starts, albeit not looking the most enthusiastic. Always behind at Huntingdon on belated return last month and a far from an obvious type to take to chasing.

Form: 64122-7

Harel Du Marais¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: James Bowen| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 95

5/2

On the decline since his fall at Sedgefield a year ago. At least starts off for this yard on a potentially handy mark (has left Mark Walford).

Form: F55-463

Abaya Du Mathan^p,t¹⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 89| CD

5/1

Veteran who capitalised on some mercy from the assessor when winning over C&D in December. Mixed record since but no surprise to see him go well back at this venue.

Form: 415624

We Got Your Back^h¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: L Morgan| OR: 86| D

6/4

Hat-trick bid ended in tame fashion at Leicester after 2m wins there and at Catterick in recent months. Return to this trip probably in his favour and so surprise if he bounced back.

Form: 530115

Extraordinary Man^p³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 84| D

8/1

Just the one success from 23 starts and ran poorly at Plumpton last time. Mark continues to ease at least.

Form: 2P-423P

Forecasts

We Got Your Back (6/4), Harel Du Marais (5/2), Abaya Du Mathan (5/1), Extraordinary Man (8/1), Sangiovese (17/2), Chestnut Pete (22/1)

WE GOT YOUR BACK was thriving before his flop over further at Leicester last time so is worth another chance back down in trip. Abaya du Mathan won off a similar mark over C&D in December and is feared most.
