Kelijoe¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: S Edmunds

8/11

Fourth in minor event only outing on Flat and fairly useful form in bumpers, opening account at second attempt at Lignieres (11.9f) last time. Has left N. Paysan and makes obvious appeal starting out over hurdles in a weak contest.

Form: 421

My Mate Mike²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Price⁽³⁾| T: J R Jenkins

22/1

Fair handicapper on Flat but only stays 7f and didn't do a great deal to ease stamina concerns on last month's Huntingdon hurdling debut.

Form: 6

One Million Dreams²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 97

2/1

Modest form only outing on Flat in France and similar form over hurdles, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when third in 6-runner maiden here (20f) in December. Not in same form at Lingfield subsequently but still respected in a weak race.

Form: 39335

Peerless Percy^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: Olly Williams

40/1

Modest on Flat and well held in a pair of maiden hurdles.

Form: 06

Dartmouth Rose⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: M Crawley

16/1

Poor in bumpers and well held both outings over hurdles this winter, leaving Pam Sly prior to latest start.

Form: 83067

Abbey Law³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: G Sheehan| T: L Wadham

12/1

Modest form in a pair of Flat outings for Amy Murphy and went with little encouragement sent hurdling at Huntingdon the previous month.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Kelijoe (8/11), One Million Dreams (2/1), Abbey Law (12/1), Dartmouth Rose (16/1), My Mate Mike (22/1), Peerless Percy (40/1)

A thin maiden and surely an excellent opportunity for KELIJOE, who's shown fairly useful form in bumpers in France. One Million Dreams appeals as the one to give him most to think about.
