9/2

Going through the motions this season, making very heavy of things at Plumpton on most recent outing. First-time blinkers need to sharpen him up.

Duffry Trixs¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 109| D

11/4

Got off the mark in a Taunton maiden last February. Yet to fully fire in handicap company but took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 in 3m handicap at Newbury on latest start. Eased a further 2 lb but the return to shorter isn't sure to be in his favour.

Form: 21-3506

Mammies Boy^b1¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Kielan Woods| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 109| D

16/1

Three-time winner over hurdles for Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill but has made a low-key start for current yard. Blinkers on for 1st time.

Form: 5/14-107

The Secret Pearl^t¹⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 104

5/1

Successful in mares maiden at Market Rasen last spring and resumed with good efforts in defeat in handicaps at Plumpton and Huntingdon (both at around 2½m). Didn't find much when it came to the crunch at Aintree when last seen on Boxing Day, though.

Form: 61-F225

Tigga Time⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Tom Cannon| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 102

14/1

Point winner who stepped forward from his seasonal/stable debut when opening Rules account in Huntingdon handicap in November. Far from disgraced from a 4 lb higher mark back there next time but needs to cast aside a lesser effort at Doncaster since.

Form: 92-5179

Northanger Abbey^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Sutton⁽⁵⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 102

9/2

Posted an effort more in keeping with his hurdling debut form in a first-time tongue strap when sixth of 13 in 2m handicap at Warwick (good to soft, 11/1) last month, plugging on. Interesting stepping back up in trip from a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 22-44P6

Herbygoesbananas⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 99

6/1

Flat-bred gelding who overcame inexperience to make a winning bumper debut at Huntingdon in November 2024. Yet to match that form over hurdles but may do better now handicapping back up in trip.

Form: 1-466

Lyle View⁴²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 90

9/1

Took her form up a notch when easily opening her account in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell in February 2025. Off since but could well have more to offer for good yard.

Forecasts

Bridge (2/1), Duffry Trixs (11/4), Northanger Abbey (9/2), Galactic Charm (9/2), The Secret Pearl (5/1), Herbygoesbananas (6/1), Lyle View (9/1), Tigga Time (14/1), Mammies Boy (16/1)

NORTHANGER ABBEY got back on track in a first-time tongue strap at Warwick on his latest start and looks interesting now stepping back up in trip from a 3 lb lower mark, so he's put forward as the answer. Last-time-out winners Bridge and Lyle View head the dangers.
