Supreme Shot³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Smith⁽⁶⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 100

12/1

Has been brought along steadily and hooded when an eye-catching sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 31 days ago, not knocked about. Looks to have more to offer on his first go in handicap company and is worth a market check.

Form: 65-676

Justlikefire⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: William Shanahan| T: J Candlish| OR: 98

6/1

Lightly-raced sort who built on earlier promise when a very good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) in November. Can't be discounted after a break.

Form: 90-4P2

My My My Delilah²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Joshua Thompson| T: W Coltherd| OR: 97

33/1

Fair form when making the frame all 3 starts in bumpers last season but yet to match it in four hurdling runs, coming in a remote fourth of 7 on his handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) 27 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 22-6534

She's Notjoeking⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Conner McCann⁽⁶⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 94| C

13/2

Winless since April 2024 and she came in a below-form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, soft) 54 days ago, finding little. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 4P-4434

Sattam⁶^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Maggs| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 83

2/5

Low-mileage 7-y-o who confirmed reappearance promise when getting off the mark in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Scored easily there so big shout under a 7 lb penalty.

Form: 598/2-41

Elusive Warrior⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: William Maggs| T: A M Thomson| OR: 88WS

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden who took a step forward when third of 4 in novice hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) in December. Since had wind surgery and may still do better now going handicapping.

Form: 70-703

Kellie's Dream^t⁶⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Jack Power| T: D Bourke| OR: 79

20/1

A dual hurdles winner for Andrew Slattery in Ireland but yet to score for her current yard, only eighth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (17f, soft) 69 days ago. Tongue strap goes back on with something to prove.

Form: 5773-98

Forecasts

Sattam (2/5), Justlikefire (6/1), She's Notjoeking (13/2), Supreme Shot (12/1), Kellie's Dream (20/1), Elusive Warrior (33/1), My My My Delilah (33/1)

Dianne Sayer's SATTAM has returned from a long absence in fine form and is hard to oppose under a 7 lb penalty for his facile Musselburgh victory. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's handicap debutant Supreme Shot appeals as a likely improver though, so should ensure he doesn't have things all his own way, while Justlikefire appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
