Albie Littlewood⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 95

11/8

Lightly-raced sort who took a step forward when fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 40 days ago. Open to further improvement on his first venture into handicap company, especially now up in trip. A likely player.

Form: 8/865

Ebselysees^b³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: James Davies| T: Noel Williams| OR: 92| CD

15/2

C&D winner who got back on track in a change of headgear when second of 8 in handicap here (25f, soft) 30 days ago. Can make presence felt again.

Form: 6636-P2

Cuillin Ridge²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: David Bass| T: H D Daly| OR: 87

15/2

Modest form shown thus far and failed to take a step forward when seventh of 12 on his handicap bow at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 29 days ago. More is needed.

Form: 867-857

Pottersmattyeeehaa²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR: 86

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who recorded a respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Up in trip and not discounted.

Form: 3-3354

Hiero Sport³⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 85| D

7/2

Got off the mark at Fakenham last October 2024 but failed to back it up in two subsequent runs, hooded when fifth at Warwick (19f) 11 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his comeback start.

L'air Du Large^p1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 84

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden who came in only ninth of 11 on his handicap debut at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 447-09

Harthill⁷⁸¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR: 84

28/1

50/1, much improved when getting off the mark in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f) in November 2023. Off since though so her fitness has to be taken on trust.

Form: 664U31/

Little Pi^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: R Patrick| T: S Allwood| OR: 83

13/2

Winless since early 2024 but he posted a good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 27 days ago. Merits consideration nudged up 1lb.

Form: 55-76P2

Ramaah^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: James Best| T: S-J Davies| OR: 77

33/1

Modest 13f Flat scorer who ran one of his better races in this sphere when (blinkered first time) fourth of 11 in handicap at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Needs to back it up now.

Form: 458P-P4

Catalan King¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: C Gethings| T: A M Hales| OR: 76

33/1

Poor maiden who has been pulled up in handicap hurdles at Huntingdon and Leicester this winter. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 996-PP

Forecasts

Albie Littlewood (11/8), Hiero Sport (7/2), Kenzoko (11/2), Cher Monsieur (6/1), Little Pi (13/2), Cuillin Ridge (15/2), Ebselysees (15/2), Pottersmattyeeehaa (12/1), Idaho Bridge (16/1), Harthill (28/1), Ramaah (33/1), Catalan King (33/1), L'air Du Large (50/1)

ALBIE LITTLEWOOD has been brought along steadily and this half-brother to the yard's smart Roksana is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now his stamina is unlocked more. Fellow handicap debutant Kenzoko also looks to have better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main danger to Dan Skelton's improver. In-form duo Little Pi and Ebselysees also need factoring into this open handicap.
