Still a maiden but runner-up in all 3 handicap hurdles, including C&D. Another bold show is on the cards.

Runner-up sole start in points and placed in maiden hurdles at Taunton and here (19.5f, soft) in recent months. Potential improver now making a quick switch to handicaps over a longer trip.

Gained a fourth win of a very productive first half of the season when striking under Eleanor Williams at Ludlow (21f, good to soft) in November. Placed on his next 2 starts but not so good the last twice. Bounce back needed.

Four-time hurdle winner. Struggled over fences when last seen in the autumn but could fare better back hurdling if ready to roll after 134 days off.

Has shown ability on 2 of his 3 qualifying runs and rates a possible improver now handicapping in a first-time visor.

6/1
Placed all 3 starts in Irish points. Little better than modest form in maiden/novice hurdles around 19f but he hails from a leading yard and could easily prove a different proposition now handicapping up in trip.

11/2
Well backed and much improved after 6 months off when narrowly landing a 3¼m Fontwell handicap hurdle in November. Matched that form with third in stronger race at Ascot (first 2 winners next time) 2 weeks later but 2 lesser runs have followed. The refitting of cheekpieces needs to spark a revival.

9/1
Twice a winner over hurdles for Peter Bowen in 2023 and showed enough to suggest he retains his ability in 2 chase outings for new trainer Robbie Llewellyn last month. Back on his last winning mark in this sphere. Interesting runner.

17/2
Modest maiden hurdler. Off 16 months, showed enough to suggest some ability remains when seventh of 10 in 19.5f course handicap 26 days ago. Up in trip. Entitled to come on for the run.

20/1
Won Ayr bumper for Stuart Crawford in 2022 but has offered little for current yard since, pulling up in 19.5f course handicap last month. It remains to be seen whether a step up in trip helps.

Forecasts

Five Quarters (9/4), Ri Na Cuirte (11/2), Keppel Queen (6/1), Fortunate Fella (6/1), Melton Mossy (15/2), Archie Macdart (17/2), Coal Fire (9/1), Camps Bay (16/1), Largy Valley (20/1), Iron Heart (33/1)

Verdict

KEPPEL QUEEN is taken to deservedly get her head in front with Benjamin Macey taking a handy 7 lb off her back. Fortunate Fella and Five Quarters appeal as potential improvers now handicapping over a longer trip and head the dangers. Coal Fire could also pose a threat if a return to hurdles helps him to recapture his best form.

  1. Keppel Queen6/1
  2. Fortunate Fella6/1
  3. Five Quarters9/4
