Failed to progress last season and had a breathing operation before a below-form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (19f) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on.
|
Gained a deserved breakthrough victory in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f). Off 6 months but still needs considering.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who posted a solid seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (3m) in January. Back from a break and weighted to go well off a 3 lb lower mark.
|
Showed her first form when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle here (19f) 36 days ago. Needs to back it up now.
|
Fair Flat maiden. Got back on track over hurdles on his handicap bow when fourth of 12 in handicap here (19f) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt eased 2 lb.
|
Back from 5 months off with a respectable sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (3m) 22 days ago. Can take a step forward with that run under her belt.
|
Got off the mark at Leicester in December and followed it with a good third at Ffos Las in January. Rare poor effort there 104 days ago and she's the sort to bounce back after a break.
|
Fair maiden who has failed to kick on since sent handicapping, pulled up at Hereford (2m) last month. Significantly up in trip. Tongue tie added.
|
Made the frame on both starts in Irish points but yet to make an impact under Rules, including in handicaps.
|
Poor hurdler who came in a well-held sixth of 10 on his handicap debut at Exeter (19f) 27 days ago.
|
Dual winning chaser for Suzy Smith but proved hard to catch right over both sets of obstacles. Off over 2 years before coming in last of 8 for his new stable in handicap hurdle here (3¼m) 20 days ago.

Forecasts
Jager Time (13/8), Nelson Gate (6/1), Lady Henrietta (8/1), For Old Times Sake (8/1), Renoir (8/1), Tell The Tale (10/1), Porridge (14/1), Counteract (14/1), Hurst Hill (14/1), Anothermanicmonday (25/1), Gone Country (25/1)
A few with chances but Neil Mulholland's low-mileage 6-y-o TELL THE TALE can race off a 3 lb lower mark than when a fair seventh at Taunton on just his second go in handicap company so he edges the vote. Nelson Gate is feared most on the back of a resurgent fourth here with Jager Time and Lady Henrietta also in the mix.
