Wasthatok^h,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 103

13/2

Yet to recapture the form he showed in Ireland but his mark reflects that and most encouraging effort yet for new yard when running on third in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f) 3 weeks ago. He's one to bear in mind on the back of that.

Form: 526-863

He's A Latchico²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 101| CD

1/1

Fairly useful on the Flat and won twice over hurdles here in 2023/24. Below form on final 2 outings that season but confirmed he retains plenty of ability back from 12 months off when midfield in handicap at Newbury 21 days ago. Fancied to build on that.

Form: 62263-6

Stanley Pincombe^v1¹⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 100

9/1

Won at Plumpton (20.5f) during a consistent 2023/24 campaign. However, not kicked on from a promising reappearance third over C&D in September, weakening before 3 out when well-beaten sixth at Taunton (19f) in December. Given a break since and visor now the headgear of choice.

Form: 24-36U6

Avada Kedavra³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 99

28/1

Well-related sort who displayed definite promise in novice/maidens during 2023/24 campaign. Didn't kick on as anticipated in handicaps thereafter for Nicky Henderson but lines up here for new yard having ran out a good winner in points last month. Interesting returned to this sphere.

Form: 775-P81

Staff Sergeant Len^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Bryan Carver| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 96| BF

6/1

Not the most straightforward but fitting of cheekpieces has saw him back on track, posting his best effort yet in this sphere when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f) 5 weeks ago. Up 3 lb on the back of that but he should be thereabouts again with a repeat.

Form: 5-60942

Diesel Line⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 86| BF

10/3

Fairly useful bumper winner who produced his best effort yet in this sphere when second in a big-field handicap at Taunton (19f) in January. Seemed to find testing conditions/longer trip taxing him at Wincanton a month later and it would be a surprise where he not capable of better.

Form: 09-7723

Hey Mister Dj^t³⁹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Isabelle Ryder⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 78

28/1

Poor form in bumper/completed starts over hurdles for Alastair Ralph during 2023. Made the frame only start in points last spring and the betting can prove a useful guide on this belated return to hurdling for new stable.

Form: PU/PP64-

Diamond Joel²⁸⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 70

125/1

Long-standing maiden who went with no encouragement when pulled up at Bangor (16.6f) last June. Absent again since and overall profile suggests he's likely set for another struggle.

Form: 566/98-P

Onnaroll^h,t⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Cynthia Woods| OR: 69

66/1

Remains a maiden after 24 runs NH starts and continued his recent theme of non-completions when pulled up at Huntingdon (15.8f) 6 weeks ago, folding tamely before 4 out. Hard to warm to from out of the weights.

Form: P66PPP

Forecasts

He's A Latchico (1/1), Diesel Line (10/3), Staff Sergeant Len (6/1), Wasthatok (13/2), Stanley Pincombe (9/1), Hey Mister Dj (28/1), Avada Kedavra (28/1), Onnaroll (66/1), Diamond Joel (125/1)

WASTHATOK produced his best effort yet since joining Kerry Lee when runner-up at Ffos Las 21 days ago, likely he'd been seen to even better effect granted a stronger gallop. He's fallen to a workable mark and can confirm the promise of that run. He's A Latchico is another of interest with a reappearance run under his belt. Diesel Line and Staff Sergeant Len are low-mileage in handicaps and also need factoring in.
