11/4

Won a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last December. Promising second at Wetherby on handicap debut in October. Below par when seventh at Aintree 51 days ago. Has had a breathing operation since and can have a say if back on song.

5/2

Shown promise in novice hurdles, finishing second at Stratford (11/1) before a creditable fifth of 15 at Newbury (22/1) 31 days ago, doing plenty in front. Into handicaps now and remains with potential.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 109

11/1

Won a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter 18 months ago but has struggled since, acknowledging he probably needed the run after 14 months off at Doncaster (10/1) on most recent outing.

66/1

Fair handicap hurdler at best but has failed to beat a rival both starts for current yard, refusing to settle. Tongue tie goes on but easy to look elsewhere.

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: C Gethings| T: A Ralph| OR: 102

12/1

Fourth in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter but ran worst race when well-beaten sixth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Southwell (8/1) 27 days ago. Making handicap debut from a stiff-looking mark.

Form: 5-646

Callin Baton Rouge²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 101

10/1

Arrives in reasonable heart, finishing sixth of 10 in a hurdle at Huntingdon (33/1) 22 days ago when unsuited by the shorter trip. On a handy mark again but will probably be of more interest when stepping back up in distance.

Form: 570536

Tech That⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 101WS

25/1

Showed modest ability in novice hurdles and finished sixth of 9 at Uttoxeter (40/1) 59 days ago, needing the run. Breathing operation could bring about improvement on handicap debut.

Form: 243P-6

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 98

20/1

Followed a good run with a below-par one when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (11/2) 42 days ago. Possibilities if bouncing back.

Form: 442626

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: J M Quinlan| T: S England| OR: 85| BF

10/1

Forecasts

Park Talk (5/2), Paddys Policy (11/4), Aeroplane Blonde (4/1), Queen Roslyn (7/1), Callin Baton Rouge (10/1), Platenium (10/1), Light Fandango (11/1), Aim Straight (12/1), Belcamo (20/1), Tech That (25/1), Golden Move (66/1)

AEROPLANE BLONDE shaped well when fourth at Cheltenham despite pulling hard and making jumping errors, and the return of the hood should help him settle better. He remains unexposed and is fancied to strike. Paddys Policy and Belcamo can both have a say in proceedings if returning to the pick of their form.
