Is This For Real³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 115| BF| D

11/8

£80,000 point winner who landed bumper at Kelso a year ago. Improved in each of his first 3 runs over hurdles, getting off the mark in 11-runner novice at Newcastle in January. Folded as though amiss on handicap debut at Haydock (19f) a month ago and now back up in trip minus tongue tie.

Form: 51-441P

Katarcice^t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Hogan| T: F O'Brien

13/2

£28,000 5-y-o, Balko gelding. Half-brother to very smart hurdler/smart chaser Bacardys. Runner-up last 2 starts in Irish points and fitted with a tongue tie, he shaped with promise when third of 9 in a course bumper 3 weeks ago. In an ordinary race for hurdles debut.

Form: 522-3

Moves Like Mason³³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling

3/1

Runner-up once from 3 starts in Irish points and caught the eye in 2 runs over hurdles in the space of a week last spring.

Form: 6P2-77

Cinammon Coco²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 120

16/1

Winner on the Flat/over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien. Tongue tied and well held on handicap/stable debut 3 weeks ago but this is an easier race for him to bounce back in.

Form: 43148P

Forever Penywern^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Greatrex

3/1

Fairly useful on Flat (stays 11f) for William Haggas, making it back-to-back wins in sellers when landing the odds at Chelmsford in September. Hooded and wayward first effort over hurdles at Fontwell in November but much more like it when third at Stratford 4 weeks ago.

Form: 53

Karthala³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish

22/1

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 11.5f), not seen to best effect last time. Goes without usual headgear for hurdles debut.

Maestrow⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling

33/1

Bred to have a future but little in the way of promise both bumper starts this winter.

Form: 00

Papa Oscar^h⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Benjamin Poste| T: C Hobson

250/1

Limited on the Flat and well held on hurdles debut in January.

Forecasts

Is This For Real (11/8), Forever Penywern (3/1), Moves Like Mason (3/1), Katarcice (13/2), Cinammon Coco (16/1), Karthala (22/1), Maestrow (33/1), Papa Oscar (250/1)

KATARCICE showed ability in points and it was a similar story when third in a course bumper 3 weeks ago. Expected to build on that, he could be the answer now hurdling. Cinammon Coco and Is This For Real (stablemate of the selection) both need to shrug off heavy defeats but are dangerous if doing so.
