Filibustering^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Ryan Mania| T: Harry Derham| OR: 115| D

11/8

Impressive hurdle debut winner at Kelso and found the application of a tongue strap getting him firmly back on track when scoring authoritatively in handicap at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. Major player with his recent effort behind him.

Marhaba Prince⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 115| D

4/1

Fair bumper winner who cemented the positive start made over hurdles during the winter when knuckling down well for success in maiden at Chepstow in February. That form has been boosted by the runner-up since and he's respected on handicap debut.

Form: 17/3221-

Banderas^t²¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 112

9/1

Won with plenty in hand in a Southwell maiden hurdle (2½m) in June last year and followed up on the Flat the following month. Left poorly placed when well held back over hurdles at Worcester in September, but absent 7 months since.

Form: 5/318-

Winds Of Winter⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 111| CD

33/1

Had a highly productive 2025, winning 3 times in handicaps. However, low-key display when pulled up over C&D on final outing and it was a similar story after 7 months off at Perth 9 days ago, though she could strip fitter for her recent run.

Double Digits²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 111| D

3/1

Irish point/hurdles winner who also scored over fences at Sedgefield in February. Has found tame finishes holding him back over both sets of obstacles more recently, latest when fourth of 6 returned to hurdling at Newcastle 3 weeks ago.

Form: 274124-

Perseus Way²²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 109| D

8/1

Useful winning juvenile hurdler for Gary Moore in 2022/23. Lost his way in recent seasons but did at least get back on track in staying handicaps on Flat during second half of last year. Returns to hurdling after 7 months off having made another yard switch.

Forecasts

Filibustering (11/8), Double Digits (3/1), Marhaba Prince (4/1), Perseus Way (8/1), Lawrenny (8/1), Banderas (9/1), Winds Of Winter (33/1)

FILIBUSTERING was rejuvenated by the fitting of a tongue strap when getting back to winning ways at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and can build on that effort to follow up. Marhaba Prince held off a thriving sort at Chepstow last time and is feared most on handicap debut, with Lawrenny best of the others.
