7/2

Fair maiden hurdler who has made an encourging start in this sphere, runner-up in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 18 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: P4-4342

Imperial Hurricane^p²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K C Bailey| OR: 88

16/1

Off 21 months before coming in only tenth of 11 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, soft) 26 days ago. This fair maiden hurlder should take a step forward now for his in-form yard.

Form: 445P5/0

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁵⁾| T: K Pickard| OR: 86

Ronnies Reflection^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 85

11/4

Little to shout about over hurdles but he got off the mark in 6-runner handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, soft) 7 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's still not taken lightly.

Form: 95-P3P1

The Midwife³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 85| BF

4/1

Form: 8-57533

Puddlesinthepark^p³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Conor Ring| T: Evan Williams| OR: 84

12/1

It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2023 but he recorded a solid fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and weighted to go close.

Form: 686604

Jukebox D'eddy^p1,t³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: David Noonan| T: T R Gretton| OR: 74

12/1

Fair maiden hurdler who has shown a bit more over fences, third of 8 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft) 38 days ago. Merits consideration once more with cheekpieces added.

Forecasts

Ronnies Reflection (11/4), Celtic Fortune (7/2), The Midwife (4/1), Illogical Logic (6/1), Inchagoill Lady (7/1), Jukebox D'eddy (12/1), Puddlesinthepark (12/1), Imperial Hurricane (16/1)

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to Evan Williams' in-form PUDDLESINTHEPARK who has been granted some respite by the official assessor and can now end a losing sequence. The consistent Jukebox D'Eddy and Leicester scorer Ronnies Reflection both enter calculations too in this very open contest.
