Little Big Kev^t¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: R T Phillips| OR: 95WS

13/2

Maiden but offered something to work on when third at Market Rasen on return in November. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 6554-53

Fine As Wine²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁵⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 95

12/1

Finished in the frame on all 4 starts in Irish points and easily best effort over hurdles when fifth in maiden at Bangor 4 weeks ago. Return to further will suit but opening mark looks harsh.

Form: 43/6665

Ever Ready¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 93

8/1

Maiden who improved for the step up in trip when finding only a progressive one too good over C&D last month. Not disgraced in a better race than this at Huntingdon since and she's a player.

Form: B/58624

Feet On The Ground^t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 93

12/1

Keen-going maiden who ran her best race when runner-up over C&D under similar conditions but disappointed next 2 starts, tried in a tongue strap last time. Could bounce back returned to this venue.

Form: 2-022P0

Cool Master³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: C J Todd| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 93

Well held in maiden/novice hurdles, though showed more than previously latest.

Form: 994

We Got Your Back^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Ellie Callwood⁽⁷⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 90

25/1

Winner over fences at Hexham in October. Not as good over hurdles, however, and ran poorly on belated return to this sphere on penultimate start.

Form: 31245U

Keepkalmandkarryon^t⁴²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Nick Slatter⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 90WS

Form: 9/666-

My Fortune^t1⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 88

4/1

Yet to offer much in a bumper and over hurdles, failing badly to justify support on handicap bow at Ludlow last time. Tongue strap now applied.

Form: 0-65F47

Bravethewaves^t,p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 85| CD

10/1

Two standout efforts this season came when making the running, winning over fences here in November and at Doncaster last time. Out of form when last seen over hurdles.

Troop Ship^t1⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 83

Down the field all 5 starts over hurdles, including in handicaps. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Cher Monsieur^p1⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 83| D

11/4

Produced a determined display to get off the mark in a 16-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle 10 weeks ago. Up 4 lb and enters calculations again now in first-time headgear.

Form: 90-3541

Dartmouth Rose^p1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Crawley| OR: 81| D

17/2

Confirmed previous promise in handicaps when opening her account at Fakenham on return from a break in October. However, has failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts and headgear now given a whirl.

Forecasts

Cher Monsieur (11/4), My Fortune (4/1), Parish Star (5/1), Little Big Kev (13/2), Ever Ready (8/1), Kylenoe Dancer (8/1), Dartmouth Rose (17/2), Bravethewaves (10/1), Troop Ship (10/1), Fine As Wine (12/1), Feet On The Ground (12/1), Cool Master (22/1), We Got Your Back (25/1), Keepkalmandkarryon (40/1)

PARISH STAR disappointed on her hat-trick attempt at Carlisle but was a stylish winner over C&D the time before so is worth another chance back from a short break. Ever Ready and Feet On The Ground head the dangers.
