15/2

Off the mark at Kelso last May but pulled up in handicap chase on course chase debut 6 months later and well beaten in 2 Newcastle handicap hurdles this year. A change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) needs to help spark a revival.

Form: 23-1P97

Looking Splendid³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Bruce Lynn| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 93| BF

9/2

Has shown enough in handicap runs to suggest he is fairly treated off this mark, continuing in good heart when third of 10 at Musselburgh (2½m) in February. Close up when falling at the last at Newcastle (2½m again) latest and should be in te thick of things if none the worse.

10/11

Needed only to be pushed out for a breakthrough win over 17f here (good to soft) 16 days ago. Could have more to offer so a 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.

Show No Fear^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 90

10/1

Arrives fit from the Flat (won in February) but he's 0-6 over hurdles, including pulling up on both handicap starts. Not the easiest to assess.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 89

40/1

Fair form over hurdles/fences in France but below that level over hurdles for current yard in 2022. Can only really watch after a whopping 894-day absence.

Lady's Present²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 74

13/2

Shaped better than the distance beaten when 13 lengths second over 3m at Fakenham on New Year's Day but she's performed below that level in 3 outings since. Back down in trip.

Form: P42664

Derracrin²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 71

14/1

Won over fences in May 2023 but no real promise in a C&D handicap and Hexham chase back from a long absence in recent months.

Forecasts

Powerofjet (10/11), Looking Splendid (9/2), Lady's Present (13/2), Fathers Advice (13/2), Geordies Dream (15/2), Breadalbane Lass (8/1), Show No Fear (10/1), Keepkalmandkarryon (10/1), Derracrin (14/1), Liloo D'ores (40/1)

POWEROFJET had a bit in hand over a shorter trip here last time and might be able to defy the handicapper. Looking Splendid has been knocking on the door in similar races this winter and is second choice ahead of Breadalbane Lass.
