Ribba Hill¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Paddy Hanlon⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 100

40/1

Showed progress in novice hurdles but was 10th of 13 in handicap at Taunton (20/1) 12 days ago, progression halted upped in trip on handicap bow. Eases slightly in grade and too soon to dismiss.

Form: 9540

Tractor Jack^t⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 93

12/1

Maiden showed more when seventh of 12 in novice hurdle (50/1) 73 days ago, kept on after long break. Could do better now handicapping.

Form: 905-7

Ourbrowneyedgirl⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 93

11/1

Yet to win but attracted support when eighth of 12 in maiden hurdle at Exeter (15/2) 42 days ago, lost touch before the fifth. Worth a market check up in trip on handicap debut.

Form: 8286-98

Bradman^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: James Best| T: K Bishop| OR: 90

11/4

Won last 2 starts at Fontwell over 19f. First of 14 in handicap (14/1) 18 days ago, travelled well and produced to lead 2 out, coped well with heavy conditions. Up 6lbs but capable of landing the hat-trick.

Form: 864-411

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 90

12/1

Form: 3/70-P55

Local Derby²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Freddie Gordon| T: C Gordon| OR: 89

4/1

Expensive point winner has yet to make an impact in 4 starts over hurdles. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Warwick (16/1) 29 days ago on handicap bow, bad mistake 5 out only partly to blame for well-beaten effort. Dropped 5lbs and remains lightly raced. May yet be capable of better.

Form: 1-6589

Devilsrollthedice²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁷⁾| T: Gordon Treacy| OR: 87

13/2

Showed a bit more when sixth of 14 in maiden hurdle 20 days ago. May take another step forward on handicap debut.

Form: 824-486

Inchagoill Lady^t,p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: K Pickard| OR: 83

15/2

Second of 7 in handicap hurdle 79 days ago but fifth of 10 in handicap chase (11/2) 30 days ago, laboured effort. Returns to hurdles with bit to prove.

Form: 1-56225

Jour D'orage^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 82

22/1

Yet to win in 6 runs, latest when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle (14/1) 18 days ago, tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Still does too much wrong to be of significant interest.

Form: 958-547

Watchoutitscookie¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: James Davies| T: N J Hawke| OR: 78| CD

11/1

Second of 14 in handicap hurdle at this C&D 70 days ago but tenth of 14 in handicap chase (12/1) 12 days ago, didn't settle. Returns to hurdles but isn't the most consistent.

Form: 0-24820

Gorcombe And Wise²⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Walford| OR: 76

6/1

Eighth of 11 in maiden at Newton Abbot (150/1) last April, tailed off in all career runs. Now handicapping but only considered if backed.

Bradman (11/4), Local Derby (4/1), Broomfield Gale (5/1), Gorcombe And Wise (6/1), Devilsrollthedice (13/2), Inchagoill Lady (15/2), Watchoutitscookie (11/1), Ourbrowneyedgirl (11/1), Badentaggart (12/1), Tractor Jack (12/1), Jour D'orage (22/1), Whatmakes Honey B (25/1), Stopherandgo (25/1), Ribba Hill (40/1)

BRADMAN has won his last two starts at Fontwell, travelling well when coping with heavy conditions last time, and can land the hat-trick despite a 6lb rise. Expensive winning pointer Local Derby has yet to make an impact over hurdles but has been dropped 5lbs following his latest effort. He remains lightly raced and there could be more to come. Quirky Broomfield Gale drew clear for an easy success at Taunton 21 days ago, while Tractor Jack may do better now handicapping.
