Oddschecker Cheltenham Free Bets Handicap Hurdle

Stepped forward from reappearance fifth when making a successful handicap debut at Doncaster (16.5f, soft) in November. Not seen to best effect (raced wide) when beaten favourite at Haydock (19f) just before Christmas. Might be worth another chance.

Won 3 times (1 hurdle, 2 chase) last season. Excellent second over fences at Huntingdon on return and better than subsequent well-held fourth at Ludlow (chase again). Has a lower mark back hurdling.

Both hurdle wins at Taunton, latterly a 19f handicap at the end of December. Likely still on a competitive mark but he is a bit hit and miss.

Bumper winner in Ireland. Fourth on her first 3 completed starts over hurdles but made a slightly disappointing start to her handicap career when seventh of 9 at Ludlow 23 days ago. Bounce back needed.

Ended time under the care of Gary Brown with 21f course handicap success last March. First run for Faye Bramley when second of 25 in 19.5f Punchestown handicap 7 weeks later. Went on to land a pair of 2m Flat handicaps over the summer and might have needed last month's reappearance. Player.

Novice winner over 2m and 2½m last summer. Respectable fourth of 15 on 2½m Worcester handicap debut in September but below that level twice since. Needs to resume her progression.

Successful over 23f at Uttoxeter last May. Has come up short off higher marks since but he had an excuse (raced freely and did too much too soon in first-time blinkers) at Kempton when last seen in November. The blinkers are discarded back from 3 months off. Also drops significantly in trip.

Won novice handicaps at Stratford (2m) and Newton Abbot (18.5f) last spring. Close second on hat-trick bid last June but well beaten in 2 outings since, including back from break just after Christmas.
