6/5

Dual hurdles winner who found some improvement when opening his account at the fourth attempt in this sphere at Lingfield in January. Pulled hard when third in his follow-up bid back there (23.5f, heavy) less than a fortnight later and no surprise to see a first-time hood applied.

Form: 8-35313

10/3

Plenty of wins in a long career but losing run is mounting up and he's been tailed off all 3 starts this season.

Form: 226-558

Basford^b1⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J Candlish| OR: 104

13/8

Fair winner at 3m over hurdles. Has taken to fences quite well this season, second of 4 at Fakenham (29f) last month. Needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Market Rasen (27.6f, good) 6 days ago however, and first-time blinkers are given a whirl.

Forecasts

Havaila (6/5), Basford (13/8), I See You Well (10/3), Kaproyale (6/1)

Preference is for HAVAILA, who opened his account in this sphere at Lingfield on penultimate start and shaped as if still in good form despite pulling hard when third back there since. A first-time hood should help him settle and he can get the better of Basford, who has taken to fences quite well this season but needs to leave behind a below-par effort at Market Rasen last week.
