Age: 10| Weight: 12-3| J: P W Wadge⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 116| D

5/1

Well supported and back to his best when gaining his first success for current connections at Kelso 6 days ago, keeping on well under another a positive ride. Carries a penalty but he's not taken lightly.

Form: 66-5431

Guiri²³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: B Haslam| OR: 122

50/1

Placed over hurdles/on the Flat in Ireland for Jessica Harrington last year. After 3 months off, made a discouraging start for new stable when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) in December. Has enough to prove back down in trip.

Hartur D'oudairies⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 117| D

9/2

Winner of sole bumper start in France and made a successful yard/hurdle debut at Warwick in November 2021. Has had only 2 starts since, shaping encouragingly after a year off when runner-up in an Exeter handicap (18.5f) in November. Major player.

Form: 1/15-2

Quick Sharpener^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 116| D

8/1

Point winner who built on the encouragement of his hurdle debut at the second attempt when winning at Wetherby last time, albeit well positioned back at 2m. Needs to find more again.

Form: P1-551

Vocal Duke¹⁴⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 116| BF| D

16/1

Successful 3 times last season for Toby Lawes and has had 4 starts at Cartmel (17.2f) for current connections, making a winning stable debut in June. Ran well on next 2 outings before unseating at the second last time. Others look stronger.

Form: 23-164U

Hold Up La Colmine³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 114| BF

7/1

Irish point winner who made the frame in all 3 starts in maiden hurdles this season. However, failed to meet expectations when third at Lingfield (19.5f) in December, so improvement required dropped in trip for his handicap bow.

Form: P1-433

Gardener²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: A M Hales| OR: 113| D

5/1

Fairly useful in bumpers in Ireland for Johnny C. Hurley and has made a promising start over hurdles, rallying well to open his account at the second attempt in a Leicester novice 24 days ago. Respected on handicap debut.

Form: R/36-21

Sergeant Wilson^h1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: N A Twiston-Davies| OR: 112| BF| D

12/1

Clear-cut winner of a Taunton bumper on debut and fairly useful form when placed in a pair of maiden hurdles in November. However, disappointed when down the field on handicap debut at Market Rasen (18.6f) on Boxing Day. Bounce back called for.

Form: 1-F320

Chti Balko⁶¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 112| CD

10/1

After 7 months off, failed to capitalise on a drop in grade when fourth at Musselburgh in November. Has been dropped a further 2 lb in the weights since, though, so this 3-time C&D winner could fare better with a run behind him.

Form: 39250-4

Chapel Green²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 110| D

14/1

Confirmed promise of his hurdling debut when off the mark in a Kelso novice in November, despite not yet looking the finished article. Shaped better than result on handicap debut at Wetherby last time, so he remains capable of better.

Form: 47-210

Lunar Jet^h1⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: H Cobden| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 105

20/1

Useful at best on the Flat, though form went the wrong way last year. Faced a stiff task on first hurdles start since 2020 when fourth of 5 in a Doncaster novice in November. Now tried in hood making his handicap hurdle debut, but others still preferred.

Form: 5522P/4

Henry Box Brown²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 99| D

10/1

Bumper winner on debut/sole start in Ireland and showed improved form when opening his account over hurdles in handicap at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago, pulling well clear with the runner-up. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Form: 405271

Serious Ego¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 97| CD

16/1

Last success came in this race 2 years ago. Having dropped in the weights since then, stepped up on his reappearance when third of 5 at Musselburgh in November. However, not in the same form at Ayr next time.

Form: 344-539

Forecasts

Hartur D'oudairies (9/2), Gardener (5/1), Thereisnodoubt (5/1), Hold Up La Colmine (7/1), Quick Sharpener (8/1), Henry Box Brown (10/1), Chti Balko (10/1), Sergeant Wilson (12/1), Chapel Green (14/1), Serious Ego (16/1), Vocal Duke (16/1), Lunar Jet (20/1), Guiri (50/1)

HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES shaped encouragingly after a year off when runner-up on his handicap debut at Exeter in November, beaten by only an even less-exposed rival, so he can build on that effort to go one better this time around. A pair of last-time-out winners head the list of dangers, with handicap-debutant Gardener feared most ahead of Thereisnodoubt.
