Beat The Retreat^v,t⁶⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁷⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 92

10/1

Game Beaaa^t¹⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: D Bourke| OR: 91

18/1

Landed back-to-back Market Rasen handicaps last summer and returned to form back at around 2m when 5 lengths fifth of 11 at Sedgefield in October. Unsuited by testing conditions over this C&D when last seen 6 months ago and she has gone well fresh in the past.

Magic Gloves^t⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 90

25/1

Form: 21-3448

Sao Carlos^t⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 90| DWS

Canavan⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 95

Form: 7666

Shadowfax Of Rohan^h,t³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽³⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 86| D

1/1

Proved a different model sent chasing for current yard after a breathing operation when making all in handicap at Catterick in February. Made it 2 from 3 over fences at Southwell last time and can make a bold bid from his 3 lb lower mark back hurdling.

Form: 79P121

Breaking Ground³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Bruce Lynn| T: R M Smith| OR: 85

66/1

Form: 6-350P5

Storm The Dug³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 92

25/1

Fair maiden on the Flat at up to 1m who looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind over hurdles, never on terms but not given a hard time when fourth of 10 in a Musselburgh maiden on third outing in this sphere.

Form: 944

Malangen¹⁸⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-12| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 84| CD

25/1

Form: 72883P

Bunker Bay^t,p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 82

5/1

Form: 556-332

Form: 694-PPP

Breadalbane Lass^t,p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Toby Wynne| T: R M Smith| OR: 74

9/1

Remains a maiden but benefited from the drop back in trip when fourth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (17f) a month ago, though showed her tendency to wander under pressure. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Form: 5-06664

Defying Gravity^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 71

9/1

Made the frame twice from 3 starts in points. After 4 months off (had breathing operation and fitted with tongue strap), showed more than previously over hurdles when fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Newcastle 23 days ago, despite being 10 lb out of the weights (now 3 lb wrong).

Forecasts

Shadowfax Of Rohan (1/1), Bunker Bay (5/1), Breadalbane Lass (9/1), Defying Gravity (9/1), Canavan (9/1), Beat The Retreat (10/1), Justus (12/1), Game Beaaa (18/1), Storm The Dug (25/1), Malangen (25/1), Magic Gloves (25/1), Tigress Lilly (50/1), Gone With The Tide (66/1), Breaking Ground (66/1), Bray Dale (66/1), Sao Carlos (80/1)

SHADOWFAX OF ROHAN has shown much improved form over fences since joining Patrick Neville, winning twice from 3 starts, and he can take advantage of his lower mark reverted to hurdles. Heading the list of dangers is Bunker Bay, who arrives on the back of his best effort in this sphere, with Beat The Retreat and Justus also considered.
