Inside Man¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 117| CD

7/2

Positive start in juvenile hurdles last season and firmly back on track when scoring with something in hand in a C&D novice in November. Never a factor under a double penalty fitted with a hood a month later but could easily get back on track returned to a handicap.

Form: 214-614

Seeyouinmydreams^h,t¹⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 116| BF

11/4

Wide-margin point/bumper winner who readily made all in maiden/novice hurdles at Fakenham (2½m) and Worcester (2m) at the start of the summer. Finished tired at Kempton in October and off the track since but she's in expert hands. Handicap debut down in trip.

Form: 10/P-113

Tarahumara³⁰¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Tudor| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 113

7/1

Third hurdle success of his light career when returning from 6 months off to see off 16 rivals in a 2m Warwick handicap (heavy) in November 2023. No show on all 3 subsequent outings, however, leaving him with a lot to prove.

Form: 5/11P-P9

Princess T¹⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 109| D

7/1

Kept busy in Jersey and cashed in on a lenient mark at Wincanton in October. Sound third 3 weeks later and she's a player again if returning from an absence at that sort of level.

Form: 8-12213

Commanding View⁸⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 108| D

7/4

Twice a winner over hurdles, latterly a handicap at Bangor (17f) last spring. May have needed run when fourth on chase debut at Warwick 6 months later and while he showed a bit more at Taunton in January, connections are quick to return to timber.

Form: 102-145

Forecasts

Commanding View (7/4), Seeyouinmydreams (11/4), Inside Man (7/2), Tarahumara (7/1), Princess T (7/1), Campaign Trail (10/1)

CAMPAIGN TRAIL has a very fair mark to work on based on his opening hurdles run along with his established Flat form and in the hope cheekpieces allow him to travel with a bit more zest kept to this sort of trip, he may well be the answer. Inside Man and Seeyouinmydreams both return from a break and retain a bit of potential, so are feared most.
