9/1

Front-runner who landed his second handicap of the season at Plumpton (2m4f) in November. Jumped markedly left when only 13th at in Lanzarote at Kempton but this course winner could bounce back round here.

Form: 145120

Huffin An A Puffin²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 123| CD

15/8

Won on his hurdling debut over C&D in March 2024 for Harry Derham and defied a near 2-year absence when following up for his new yard in 2m3f Doncaster handicap recently. Must enter calculations in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 1/1

Teriferma^t,p³⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Lorcan Williams| T: Jack Jones| OR: 122

50/1

A fairly useful ex-Irish hurdler who dead-heated on his yard debut in 2m Cheltenham handicap in December, 2024. Off since coming in well held in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham 11 months ago though so needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 112140-

Just A Rose⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 120

10/1

Points scorer who made a winning start in this sphere at Taunton last January. Twice pulled up in his three runs since however, latterly in Lanzarote at Kempton last month. Has something to prove here.

Form: 1/1P-5P

Yellow Star^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 118| D

20/1

Resumed winning ways at Warwick (21f) in December but well held both runs subsequently, producing a laboured effort in 3m Ascot handicap two weeks ago. Others are much preferred.

Form: 5F-7100

Kilwaughter⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Jack Stenhouse⁽⁷⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 118

3/1

Useful bumper winner who has really got his act together over hurdles of late, posting an excellent second of 13 in 2m3f Taunton novice last time. That form has been well advertised so he's a major player now going handicapping off a lenient-looking mark.

Form: 163-742

Bingoo¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Price| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 117

33/1

A fairly useful winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and failed to build on a reappearance Leicester second when a remote fifth at Hereford 17 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 3/U7P-25

Lucky Bere^p1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr Joshua Newman⁽⁵⁾| T: K Woollacott| OR: 117| BF

10/1

Ex-French Flat winner gained a first win for his current yard in 2m4f handicap at Wincanton in January and backed it up with a very good second of 7 at Hereford (2m4f) 17 days ago. Up 2 lb but he can go well again.

Form: 33-3812

Analiese⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 115

9/2

Likeable and progressive front-runner who bids for a hat-trick following 2m4f handicap wins at Uttoxeter and Aintree in December. Up another 5 lb but she rates a player after a break with relatively few miles still on the clock.

Form: 44-P211

Forecasts

Huffin An A Puffin (15/8), Kilwaughter (3/1), Analiese (9/2), Tour Ovalie (7/1), Goodwin (9/1), Just A Rose (10/1), Fine Casting (10/1), Lucky Bere (10/1), Yellow Star (20/1), Bingoo (33/1), Teriferma (50/1)

KILWAUGHTER looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut on the back of an excellent Taunton second (form been franked) and this useful bumper scorer is fancied to gain a first success over hurdles here. Lucky Bere arrives on the up too and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Analiese, Huffin An A Puffin and Tour Ovalie in this highly competitive event.
