Striking A Pose²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Freddie Gingell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 107| CD

3/1

Had a largely disappointing season but ended it with a bang when taking advantage of reduced mark over C&D 3 weeks ago in gutsy fashion. No guarantees he'll be able to back that up, though.

Baltray⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Liam Harrison| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 106

15/2

Hit-and-miss performer who found only an improver too strong in 2¾m Stratford handicap in October but in nothing like the same form next 2 starts 4 months apart.

Form: F/362P5-

Despereaux^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 104

8/1

Hereford winner in December but not in same form back from a break there last 2 starts.

Supreme Yeats^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 103

3/1

Successful over 23f in this headgear at Uttoxeter last summer but out of sorts lately. Back on a handy mark and any market support would be of note stepping up in trip and reunited with Harry Skelton.

Alan Bresil^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Reed| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 102

14/1

Stoutly-bred gelding who will be suited by this longer distance. Mark has reduced further so not impossible.

Form: 445758-

Sam's Amour¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 100

18/1

Successful 3 times over hurdles in 2024. Good second over C&D last summer but she's struggled since.

Form: 285P66-

Mister Barclay¹⁷⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 99

3/1

Consistent type on testing ground over hurdles and narrow winner after 7 months off at Ffos Las in November. Off since but can go well fresh, though ground may be quicker than ideal.

Form: 22546/1-

I Am Spider Man^h²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: B J Murphy| OR: 97| D

14/1

A 2-time hurdles winner for Charles Byrnes at Sligo in 2024. Has struggled for different trainers after, however.

Form: 70/76P7-

Forecasts

Supreme Yeats (3/1), Striking A Pose (3/1), Mister Barclay (3/1), Juggernaut (3/1), Baltray (15/2), Despereaux (8/1), I Am Spider Man (14/1), Alan Bresil (14/1), Sam's Amour (18/1)

SUPREME YEATS hasn't been in much form lately but he's now 3 lb below his last winning mark as a result so could be worth chancing reunited with Harry Skelton. Juggernaut was a good second over this longer trip at Stratford last time and rates the main threat ahead of last-time-out winners Striking A Pose and Mister Barclay.
