Catch On Me⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 114

10/11

Fair maiden hurdler who was placed again when second of 8 in a similar race at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) last time. Likely to be bang there again.

Form: 537-332

Handmedownastar⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Pritchard⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

5/1

Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Dec 2025). Would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong now hurdling.

Form: 21

Jambon²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon

9/1

Showed ability in points and did so again when mid-division in a Kempton bumper last month, fading after racing keenly in the lead for a long way. Hurdle debut.

Form: 33-F8

Jet Steel^h¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan

200/1

Reached the frame in both bumpers before Christmas but well beaten in 2 hurdles since. Probably more one for handicaps after this.

Form: 2-43P6

Karate Kid^t1⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: R Patrick| T: W Greatrex

8/1

Irish bumper winner last winter. Had wind surgery prior to finishing well held in Ascot listed bumper on return for new yard in December. Fitted with a tongue tie now hurdling 3 months on. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Form: 21-0

Knight Templar^h⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey

12/1

Authorized gelding who was placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points but never threatened having been backed at long odds in a big-field Lingfield maiden hurdle (2m, soft) 8 weeks ago.

Form: 3/F-0

Maximum Benefit²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: Miss J S Davis

80/1

Hinted at promise in bumpers but could only manage a remote fourth of 7 on Exeter hurdle debut (17f, heavy) 3 weeks ago.

Form: 5604

Minella Mission²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: D J Jeffreys

33/1

Irish point winner. Better effort in maiden hurdles for new yard when 11 lengths second at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) 22 days ago but the form is barely modest.

Form: F/21-72

Padel Bandit¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Kimber| T: G & J Moore

200/1

150/1, down the field in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15f, soft) on debut 17 days ago. More one for the longer term on that evidence.

Form: 0

Yourcardismarked²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: Tim Vaughan

200/1

Well held in bumper and 2 maiden hurdles. Early days but can only watch here.

Form: 058

Cayman Dancer⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: R T Dunne| T: G & J Moore

9/2

Fair Flat winner for Charlie Johnston. Promising start over hurdles when second in Newbury juvenile in December. Bit better than result (raced too freely) when fifth of 18 in 2m Lingfield maiden (soft) since. Should go well.

Form: 25

Result Amended

Catch On Me - Original Position 2nd. Amended Position 1st.

Cayman Dancer - Original Position 1st. Amended Position 2nd.

Forecasts

Catch On Me (10/11), Cayman Dancer (9/2), Handmedownastar (5/1), Karate Kid (8/1), Jambon (9/1), Knight Templar (12/1), Minella Mission (33/1), Maximum Benefit (80/1), Jet Steel (200/1), Yourcardismarked (200/1), Padel Bandit (200/1)

This may develop into a straight fight between CATCH ON ME and Cayman Dancer. The latter has been quite keen over 2m so this slightly longer distance is a bit of a concern and it's possible Venetia Williams' charge, who is proven over an extended 2½m, will have too much for him late on. Irish point winner Handmedownastar may prove best of the remainder.
