Hecouldbetheone^v1¹²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Alex Chadwick⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 120| BF| CD

11/8

Revitalised for James Owen in spring of 2024. Sound comeback when runner-up back at Fontwell but didn't see his race out as well when only fifth of 11 at Taunton (19f, good to soft) next time. Connections opt for first-time visor (replaces usual cheekpieces) and he may get back on track.

Form: 91-1025

Shengai Enki^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 115| BF

6/1

Has proved better than ever with cheekpieces refitted, landing 6-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.7f, heavy) in February before brace of placed efforts last month. Can remain competitive.

Form: 675132

Narragansett^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 120| C

10/11

Fairly useful (and lightly-raced) winner on the Flat who, having found only one too good on first 2 hurdle runs, had little trouble landing cramped odds in a course maiden (2m) in February. Better form when following up in handicap company at Sandown. Limit not yet reached.

Forecasts

Narragansett (10/11), Hecouldbetheone (11/8), Lumi Plugin (2/1), Shengai Enki (6/1)

A quartet to view positively with NARRAGANSETT just about the pick in receipt of his handy 4-y-o allowance coupled with the fact he's not yet exposed. Lumi Plugin is offered for the forecast.
