Rightsotom²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 131

6/1

Looked promising in spring 2023 for Thomas Mullins and all the fitter for return to action when landing a few bets at Doncaster a month ago. Raised 8 lb but lightly raced and may have more to offer.

Form: 264/1-71

Spirit D'aunou^p1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 130

8/1

Made it 5 wins in 6 starts at Sandown a year ago but his progress has come to a halt since, never looking like justifying market support in his repeat bid 3 weeks ago, Cheekpieces now on upped in trip and he does figure on a dangerous mark.

Form: 1005-F6

Welsh Charger⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: David Noonan| T: A Ralph| OR: 127

10/1

Took his form up a notch last season, bagging handicaps at Market Rasen and Musselburgh. Found his run of good form coming to halt at Kempton on final start but well prepared to make a successful reappearance after 8 months off at Wetherby last month. Up 6 lb in a better race.

Form: 1/4119-1

Go To War²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 124| BF

7/2

Uttoxeter bumper winner who got off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles at Ludlow last December. Had wind surgery before following up 3 months later back there before leaving one excellent yard for another. Second of 7 when odds-on for handicap debut 3 weeks ago. Up in trip.

Form: 8/U311-2

Mr Bramley³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C O'Farrell| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 124

9/2

Progressive in bumpers and similar story over hurdles, taking his record to 3 wins from 4 starts in this sphere in 6-runner handicap at Wetherby (19.7f) 4 weeks ago, keeping on well. Major claims with further progress distinctly possible.

Form: 2/2113-1

Mr Hope Street¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 124| D

18/5

Progressive handicapper who took another step forward to make it 4 wins from his last 5 starts in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f) 2 weeks ago, with bit in hand. Looks well worth his place in this deeper handicap with promise of more to come.

Form: 81-1211

Jipcot^t⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 121WS

14/1

Won 2m Huntingdon handicap hurdle in March. Impressed with how he travelled when third of 16 in Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) later that month (final start for Ben Pauling). Never involved in Welsh Champion Hurdle on return for new yard and also well held at Bangor. SInce had a breathing op.

Form: F313-78

Hooper^b¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 119

50/1

Quirky sort who shaped as if better for the run back from a long absence when fourth of 7 at Newbury last month. Up in trip with cheekpieces back on and ran even worse at Warwick. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.

Form: 334/3-49

Lucky One⁴¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Roisin Leech⁽⁷⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 118| D

66/1

Pulled up sharply on chase debut final start for Dan Selton in May 2022. Successful twice aat Auteuil for Sophie Leech since, exceeding expectations a couple of times in good company last year. Off 13 months and market will be best guide for new yard.

Form: 21/6886-

Getalead^p,t¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: K Pickard| OR: 118| D

11/1

Returned from 6 months off in fine form, benefiting from return to calmer waters when making it 3 wins from last 4 starts at Wincanton (19.8f). Up 4 lb and gave another good account of himself at Taunton 16 days ago.

Form: P11815

Blairgowrie^b1²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N J Henderson| OR: 108| C

18/1

Off the mark over hurdles in 13-runner handicap at Newbury at the end of the 2021/22 season and made an encouraging belated return/chase debut when second there in January. Failed to complete both starts since and has questions to answer back over timber with blinkers on.

Form: 321/2-PF

Go To War (7/2), Mr Hope Street (18/5), Mr Bramley (9/2), Rightsotom (6/1), Spirit D'aunou (8/1), Welsh Charger (10/1), Getalead (11/1), Jipcot (14/1), Blairgowrie (18/1), Hooper (50/1), Lucky One (66/1)

MR BRAMLEY continued his theme of race-by-race progress when a decisive winner at Wetherby on return a month ago and given his profile, he's selected to take the step up in class in his stride. There's depth to this race, with Go To War, Mr Hope Street and Spirit d'Aunou all of interest.
