The Resdev Tyke²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Smith⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 99

11/10

Improved at the second time of asking in handicaps when justifying market support at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day. May do better again. Leading claims.

Form: 33-961

Shan't Wait³³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Daire James McConville⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 99

7/2

Improved back from wind surgery when second of 9 in 2m Southwell handicap 33 days ago, pulling clear with a progressive sort. Player if able to back that up.

Form: 7475-92

Driver's Pick^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 99

50/1

Fairly useful on Flat in France (stays 1½m) for Andre Fabre. No impact in maiden/novice hurdles for current yard but no shock were he to fare better now handicapping. One to note in the betting.

Form: 590

And She Was⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 96

50/1

Has shown only minor promise so far but from a good jumping family and no shock to see her fare better in handicaps.

Form: 9-U74

Ever Ready²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Andrews| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 95

33/1

Modest form in bumpers/over hurdles but stands a more realistic chance now moving into her first handicap.

Form: 675B/58

Wind Your Neck In^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Midgley⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 93

8/1

Remains a maiden. Produced one of his better efforts over hurdles when fourth over C&D in December but not in the same form when filling the same position at Catterick on New Year's Day.

Form: 453644

Character Testing^t¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: William Maggs| T: M Walford| OR: 92

20/1

Placed in handicap hurdles for Tom Ellis but ended his time for that yard on a low note and fell heavily at the first at Catterick on New Year's Day on his first outing for Mark Walford.

Form: 24-847F

Troop Ship⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Shane Quinlan| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 88

25/1

Little impact in 3 qualifying runs and 23 lengths last of 3 on 20.5f Leicester handicap debut 6 weeks ago. Early days but hard to make a case for on form.

Form: 54-03

Kally Des Bruyeres¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell| T: David Dennis| OR: 85

4/1

Much improved to spring a 200/1 surprise in a 2m Huntingdon maiden hurdle last November. Best efforts in handicaps since when fourth at Huntingdon (19.5f) and Uttoxeter (2m) on last 2 completed starts. Being eased another 2 lb can only help. Each-way claims.

Form: 7P-54F4

Forecasts

The Resdev Tyke (11/10), Shan't Wait (7/2), Kally Des Bruyeres (4/1), Wind Your Neck In (8/1), Bluenose Belle (12/1), Character Testing (20/1), Troop Ship (25/1), Ever Ready (33/1), Driver's Pick (50/1), And She Was (50/1)

THE RESDEV TYKE could have more to offer on the back of his Wetherby success and is taken to make light of a 6 lb rise. Last spring's C&D scorer Bluenose Belle is respected on the back of a good comeback run at Ludlow at the end of November. Last month's Southwell runner-up Shan't Wait completes the shortlist.
