Pop's Folly27
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Finn Lambert(3)| T: G Nicholls| OR:  95
Showed a bit more than previously when fifth of 6 in a well-contested novice hurdle at Windsor (24f) in January, albeit well beaten. Failed to back that up at Kempton (21f, soft) 27 days ago, but handicaps should be more suitable at least.

Castanea Breezep16
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR:  91| BF
Made a successful handicap debut fitted with cheekpieces at Market Rasen in December and has backed that up when second both starts since, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner at Fakenham (23.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Can make his presence felt.

Connies Hillt,p127
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-6| J: Kielan Woods| T: Nick Scholfield| OR:  89
Irish point winner but tailed off in a bumper and hasn't offered much in 3 starts over hurdles. However, yard is amongst the winners ahead of her switch to handicaps, so interesting if the market speaks in her favour with cheekpieces added.

Cuillin Ridgev38
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: David Bass| T: H D Daly| OR:  88
Showed more than previously under a positive ride when fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (19.6f, soft) in December. That form has worked out well and, in first-time visor, improved again when runner-up at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) last time. Not taken lightly.

Dartmouth Rose94
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-1| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR:  84
Confirmed previous promise in handicaps when opening her account at Fakenham on return from a break in October. Below-par effort next time but creditable third at Lingfield (19.5f, good) on latest outing, so she could be in the mix upped in trip after 3 months off.

Shorten Sassy48
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-0| J: Murray Dodd(7)| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR:  83
Remains a maiden and has failed to improve for the switch to handicaps, remote third of 7 at Hereford (25.5f, soft, 5/1) when last seen 7 weeks ago.

Dontworrywegotthisp24
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-5| J: Tabitha Worsley(3)| T: G Howell| OR:  60
Tailed off only start in bumpers and has fared little better in varied events over hurdles. Up against it from out of the weights once more.

Forecasts

Cuillin Ridge (9/4), Connies Hill (5/2), Castanea Breeze (11/4), Dartmouth Rose (13/2), Shorten Sassy (12/1), Pop's Folly (14/1), Dontworrywegotthis (100/1)

Verdict

CASTANEA BREEZE has shown improved form since going handicapping with cheekpieces applied and he can double his tally with more still to offer upped in distance. Cuillin Ridge has also been going the right way and could be thereabouts once more, with Dartmouth Rose another to consider.
