Kintail^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 113

20/1

Winless this term but cheekpieces on for 1st time and running well when unseated rider last in handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 45-3PPU

Jatiluwih^p³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr D Maxwell| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 113| D

18/1

Is a long time without a win and has tumbled down the weights as a result, although he hasn't looked like capitalising on his falling mark. Unseated rider early at Ascot last time. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 8-4367U

Super Sabre Sam³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 112| BF

4/1

Landed a 19f Fontwell maiden in October and has continued in good form, third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. A likely player off an unchanged mark now stepped up in trip.

Form: F6-1833

Kissman⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR: 111

28/1

Fairly useful hurdle winner in France but not at that level in 3 starts for new connections. It remains still quite early days with this yard though so he's no forlorn hope from a falling mark.

Form: 92-1453

Glimpse Of Gala^p⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 111| D

40/1

It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2023 and she was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 40 days ago. Has plenty to find.

Form: 6-29P8P

Pachacuti²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 110

4/1

Lost his way over fences but got back on track when a staying-on second of 7 in handicap hurdle here (20.5f, soft) 21 days ago. Considered returned to a longer trip.

Form: 424PP2

Stratton Oakmont⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Ben Godfrey| T: K Woollacott| OR: 110| D

33/1

Returned with a good third at Ffos Las in November but pulled up at Haydock and Southwell since. Has it to prove now.

Form: 221-3PP

Murphy's Milan¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 109

13/2

Promising son of Milan who has shaped well on all his three runs, fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good) in November. Steps up in trip for his handicap debut with more to offer. Interesting.

Form: 3-44

Valens Bruyee^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 108

18/1

Got back on track when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, soft) 22 days ago. One for the shortlist in his bid for a first success of the season.

Form: 1-PP2P3

Geturguccion^h⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 108

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden who raced too freely when only seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 65 days ago. Not written off yet.

Form: 220-227

Holokea¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 108| BF| D

6/1

Irish point/bumper winner who made a successful hurdle debut over 3m at Southwell in October. Back to that form when second of 6 in handicap at Market Rasen (23f) 17 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 615P42

Patanita^p,t1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: G Nicholls| OR: 104

22/1

Bumper winner in spring 2022 but low mileage over hurdles since and tried in cheekpieces when eighth in 2m5f handicap at Warwick 12 days ago. Tongue tied here with more needed.

Form: 34-9738

I'm A Starman⁴⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Cobden| T: M G Rimell| OR: 98

9/1

Arrives in decent nick, refitted with blinkers when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 40 days ago. Enters calculations off a falling mark.

Form: 5-35364

Mahler Moon^t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 98

6/1

Underwent breathing surgery before coming in a respectable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft) 31 days ago. Respected now stepping back up in trip in his bid for a breakthrough victory.

Form: P-35343

Forecasts

Super Sabre Sam (4/1), Pachacuti (4/1), Mahler Moon (6/1), Holokea (6/1), Murphy's Milan (13/2), I'm A Starman (9/1), Jatiluwih (18/1), Valens Bruyee (18/1), Kintail (20/1), Patanita (22/1), Geturguccion (28/1), Kissman (28/1), Stratton Oakmont (33/1), Glimpse Of Gala (40/1)

A few with chances but the lightly-raced MURPHY'S MILAN appeals as a likely improver now his stamina is drawn out on his handicap debut and he gets a confident vote for a yard among the winners. Super Sabre Sam could emerge as the chief threat now he also steps up in trip, although Valens Bruyee, Kintail and Mahler Moon also need shortlisting in this competitive handicap.
