Stratagem^t⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 145

18/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner who got off the mark at third attempt over fences when landing 3-runner Doncaster maiden (20.5f) in January, jumping boldly and making all. More to come now handicapping.

Form: 31-62F1

Annsam⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: T J O'Brien| T: Evan Williams| OR: 139| D

9/1

Progressive over hurdles last term and similar story over fences, landing a Ludlow maiden (20f) with ease in December. Another who promises to do better still now handicapping in this sphere.

Form: 511-F21

Lust For Glory¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 136| D

25/1

Dual novice hurdle winner who doubled chase tally (chief rival fell second last) when taking a mares' novice at Ludlow (20f) in February. Lines up in a hot enough handicap now, though.

Form: 42-4141

No Getaway²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 136| CD

13/2

Very much a chaser on looks and put it all together on the back of wind op when landing a C&D handicap chase in fine style last month. Hit with a 10 lb rise as a result but there may be more to come.

Form: 192-241

High Up In The Air¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 135| C| D

Up The Straight³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: James Davies| T: R Rowe| OR: 135| D

11/1

Useful hurdler who ran well behind Umbrigado in a Fontwell novice (19.5f) in January. Flying too high in Grade 1 Scilly Isles over C&D since but switch to handicaps a plus now.

Form: 432U25

Admiral Barratry²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR: 130| D

7/2

Improved for the switch to chasing this term, winning at Fakenham (21.2f) in January and progressing further when runner-up back there last month. Likely he has more to offer still.

Form: 860/512

Belargus²³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: N F Houlihan⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 130| C

11/4

Belatedly off the mark over fences with a smooth success over 15.5f here in February, quickening to lead 2 out and soon clear. Fact a strong pace is likely again looks sure to suit.

Form: 7-2F231

Farinet²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 125

13/2

Fairly useful chaser in France who produced an encouraging yard debut display when third in a novices' handicap at Haydock (19.9f) last month, keeping on well on run-in. Type to do better still.

Form: 3P4-323

Forecasts

Belargus (11/4), Admiral Barratry (7/2), Farinet (13/2), No Getaway (13/2), High Up In The Air (17/2), Annsam (9/1), Up The Straight (11/1), Vinnie The Hoddie (16/1), Stratagem (18/1), Lust For Glory (25/1)

A smashing novices' handicap chase with the vote in favour of ADMIRABL BARRATRY. Impressive when beating a next-time-out winner at Fakenham on his penultimate start, he lost little caste in defeat trying to concede chunks of weight to a resurgent sort back at that venue subsequently. He appeals as still being on a handy mark and may find the chief threats coming from No Getaway and Farinet.
