Grayland¹⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: Mrs D A Hamer

100/1

Offered little in a pair of bumpers and has fared no better over hurdles at Ffos Las twice before Christmas. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 000P-

Jack N Jones³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| BF

5/2

Point winner who has made the frame in a pair of bumpers, fourth of nine at Fakenham 37 days ago. Much respected now going hurdling.

Form: 24-

Last Note²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden

14/1

Promising start to her career when runner-up in a Fakenham bumper but only sixth of 9 in novice at Warwick (16f, good, 9/1) on her hurdles bow 23 days ago. Worth another chance.

Form: 2-6

Miss Jaffa Cake²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: P Gundry

80/1

Linda's Lad mare. Dam, multiple point winner, out of 25f/3¼m hunter chase winner Front Cover. Failed to complete both starts in points so needs to take a big step forward now going hurdling.

Form: P-F

Sharp Glance²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King

4/9

A fair bumper performer who shaped encouragingly when third of 9 in novice at Warwick (16f, good) on her hurdles bow 23 days ago. The one to beat.

Form: 566-3

And She Was⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

20/1

22/1, ninth of 12 in bumper at Huntingdon on her debut 70 days ago. In good hands so can take a step forward starting out over hurdles.

Form: 9-

Alan King's SHARP GLANCE shaped with promise when a debut hurdling third at Warwick at the start of the month and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to build on that and get off the mark. Jamie Snowden's point scorer Jack N Jones appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of fellow hurdling debutante And She Was.
