Selected odds by:

Reserve Tank¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 137

11/2

Grade 1 winning hurdler who ran to similar level over fences in 2019/20. Lightly raced since and though he proved he retains some ability at Uttoxeter 11 days ago, he remains a tricky one to assess.

Form: 2P/5PP-5

Black Mischief^p,t⁷³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 133| D

6/1

Useful hurdler in 2018/19 but absent since a tame display when beaten 13 lengths by sole rival on chasing debut at Uttoxeter in May 2019. Market useful on this return to action.

Form: 1F1402/

Fix Sun¹⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| OR: 133| D

5/1

French bumper winner who looked useful when winning 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles in 2019/20. Disappointing start to life in handicaps during the autumn but he's in top hands.

Form: 1112/07-

Push The Tempo^h¹³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens| OR: 125| C

14/1

Promising early in his career and excellent effort on second start back from a break when fourth in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow. Didn't find much without usual hood at Kempton in December.

Form: 058/340-

Mon Frere^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 123| D

8/11

Fair 1m6f winner for Sir Mark Prescott in 2019 and built on the promise of his hurdles debut when outclassing 3 rivals in a Taunton novice 3 weeks ago. More to come now handicapping.

Form: 31-

Peruvien Bleu⁴⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: R Chapman| OR: 115

50/1

Losing run dates back to 2017 and 2019/20 campaign was largely disappointing, often let down by jumping or attitude.

Forecasts

Mon Frere (8/11), Fix Sun (5/1), Reserve Tank (11/2), Black Mischief (6/1), Push The Tempo (14/1), Peruvien Bleu (50/1)

Most of these have a lot to prove with the glaring exception of MON FRERE, who was impressive in novice company at Taunton 3 weeks ago and retains plenty of potential now handicapping. Black Mischief has a 2-year absence to overcome, but he's in very capable hands and the market may tell a tale.
