Bravemansgame⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 159| C

8/11

One of last season's leading novice hurdlers and even better over fences, making it 3-3 in Kempton Grade 1 over Christmas. No easy task giving lumps of weight away but likely capable of better again.

Form: 132-111

Grumpy Charley⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: C Honour| OR: 143| C

7/2

Multiple hurdles winner last term and stepped up even on those efforts when making it second time lucky over fences in 22.5f course handicap in December. Raised 6 lb but should have more to offer.

Form: 1116-51

Pats Fancy⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: James Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 143

9/2

Ffos Las hurdle winner who is a chaser going places, making it 2-3 in this sphere (all starts at Chepstow) when bolting up just under 7 weeks ago. Much respected with further improvement on cards.

Form: P06-411

Gallyhill³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 133| C

11/1

Promising start over hurdles last winter but weakening when falling on return/chase bow at Exeter. Had wind op before brought down first at Doncaster last month. Not easiest to assess.

Form: 1/12P-FB

Forecasts

Bravemansgame (8/11), Grumpy Charley (7/2), Pats Fancy (9/2), Fern Hill (10/1), Gallyhill (11/1), I K Brunel (25/1)

BRAVEMANSGAME will probably have to better the form of his Grade 1 Kempton win if he's to remain unbeaten over fences but he looks capable of doing just that. Pats Fancy and Grumpy Charley look potentially smart chasers in their own right and, in receipt of 16 lb, should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way.
