King Ulanda^p,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 111| CD

7/1

Returned with victory at Carlisle (17f) in October. Creditable in-frame efforts on next 3 outings and looked set to be placed at the very least when falling 2 out at Sedgefield last time. Claims if none the worse.

Sleeping Late²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Kielan Woods| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 109

17/2

Took a step forward when runner-up in 2m Fakenham handicap just before Christmas but in nothing like the same form when eighth at Stratford 11 weeks later.

Form: 32-5728

Il Va De Soi¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Megan Fox⁽⁷⁾| T: Harry Derham| OR: 108

16/1

Fairly useful hurdler at best. Below par this season but slightly better signs from his reduced mark last time. Has handicapping scope if building on that, although his peak form has come around 2½m.

Form: FP0P75

Sweeper System¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: R T Dunne| T: S Allwood| OR: 106| D

5/1

Pulled up on heavy-ground handicap debut over 2½m at Wetherby in January but different proposition dropped back to 2m at the same venue on good to soft since, fending off an unexposed one from the Dan Skelton yard with the pair clear. May do better again.

Form: 3-653P1

Tilehurst²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Bradley Harris⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 106

9/4

Bumper winner who has been placed on all 4 outings over hurdles, returning from 6 months off to finish second of 10 on 2m Taunton hurdle debut 26 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 18-2332

Pergamon^p,t¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: William Shanahan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 102| D

22/1

Fair Flat winner who landed maiden/novice hurdles over 2m on good last spring. Well beaten in handicaps on soft/heavy when last seen in the autumn but may be seen to better effect back under less testing conditions after a break.

Form: 11456

Time Interval^p,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones| T: David Dennis| OR: 102| D

7/1

Ran better than for a while when fifth of 13 at Warwick (2m, good to soft) last month but failed to build on it when only sixth at Kempton since.

Form: 077656

Hello Sweety^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 102| D

7/2

Easy all-the-way winner of 2m handicaps at Fakenham on her last 2 outings. Even a further 12 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent her completing a hat-trick.

Form: 4-3F211

Forecasts

Tilehurst (9/4), Hello Sweety (7/2), Sweeper System (5/1), King Ulanda (7/1), Time Interval (7/1), Sleeping Late (17/2), Il Va De Soi (16/1), Pergamon (22/1)

If HELLO SWEETY is in the same mood as when dominating Fakenham handicaps on her last 2 starts she'll likely take plenty of stopping again. Tilehurst made an encouraging start to her handicap career when second at Taunton last month and is feared most ahead of Wetherby scorer Sweeper System.
