22/1

Long-standing maiden but likely would have won a handicap chase at Leicester in December but for a bad mistake at the last. In nothing like the same form when pulled up at Huntingdon since and now reverts to hurdles.

Form: 2P6-P4P

Welcheston Warrier¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR: 95

18/1

Only minor promise so far but more chance now handicapping over a trip which should suit on breeding.

Form: 8-6B7

Seasmoke¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 87

6/1

Prominent racer who made it third time lucky in handicaps at Market Rasen (20.5f, good) last May. Merely passed beaten horses when remote fourth at Huntingdon 18 days ago but he might come on for that first outing in 9 months.

Form: 5744-14

Les's Jersey Royal^p1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 87

6/1

Poor form, beaten 26 lengths when second in 21f Wincanton handicap last month. First-time cheekpieces will need to give him something extra.

Form: 5-50992

Arctic Angel⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 86

10/1

Posted her best effort over hurdles on her handicap debut when third of 9 at Chepstow (19.5f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. That form has been franked so she can go well again off the same mark.

Form: 3P8403

Pearl's Pirate²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 86

7/1

Showed a bit sole bumper outing last March. Well beaten in novice hurdles since but may do better now handicapping over further. Check the betting.

Form: 3-685

Illico De Montave^p1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 82

18/1

Reaching the frame in a pair of 2m novice hurdles last spring but has failed to make an impact in 4 handicaps subsequently. First-time cheekpieces will need to make a difference.

Form: 447-577

Summerleaze¹⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 81

15/8

Has looked limited so far but has switched to Olly Murphy since last seen in the autumn and she would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in her favour.

Form: 852-47F

Quite The Getaway⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R Bevis| OR: 81

20/1

Made the frame twice from 4 starts in bumpers but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, including 2 handicaps this winter.

Form: 3696-74

Guguss Collonges^v¹³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: James Davies| T: R A Teal| OR: 79| C

20/1

Successful twice over fences in autumn 2023 but has largely struggled over hurdles and fences since. First outing since October.

Form: PP-70P7

Darcy's Glance^h²⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 79

50/1

Well held in 3 bumpers/maiden hurdles. Handicap debut.

Form: 0709-89

Atlantic Power¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: R P McLernon| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 74

18/1

Poor form under Rules, coming in a well-held third on 2¾m Fontwell handicap debut (heavy) 15 days ago. Early days but improvement will be needed.

Form: 3-08F83

Nowyouvebinandunit^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 73

11/1

Placed twice in handicaps for Simon Earle in summer 2023. Lightly raced since and didn't get the chance to show what she could do (brought down early) on recent first outing for Neil Mulholland.

ARCTIC ANGEL made a reasonably promising start to her handicap career at Chepstow and might prove the answer in a race where few arrive with compelling claims. Summerleaze has been the subject of an interesting trainer change and market support for her would look significant. Seasmoke should strip fitter for last month's Huntingdon run and completes the shortlist.
