1/4

Fairly useful chaser in France. Showed much more than previously for current yard (following a wind operation) when taking 10-runner novice hurdle (18/1) over C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago. Likely contender.

Form: PF1-3P1

Blazing Court¹³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr John Dixon⁽⁷⁾| T: J E Dixon| OR: 96

5/1

Steadily progressive over fences for Martin Keighley last summer and posted creditable effort for new yard over the smaller obstacles at Ayr in November. More on plate back from 4 months off here, however.

Form: 3P-3216

Man Of Action¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Craig Nichol| T: Gary Rutherford

25/1

Winless in 8 attempts on the level and is likely best watched on first try over hurdles.

Form: 0

Supreme George^h1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 105

15/2

Standout run in 4 attempts over timber came when second at Doncaster (16.6f) in November. Well below that level twice since but can't be ruled out in first-time hood.

Form: 2-85265

Team Endeavour¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Murtagh| T: F P Murtagh

150/1

Modest Flat winner for Ian Williams who has offered little in a couple of hurdles runs for current connections.

Form: P6

Kanitamay¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Power⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

100/1

Out with the washing starting out in a bumper at Ayr in January and has failed to complete in both starts in this sphere. Looks one for handicaps down the line.

Form: 0UP

Forecasts

Bel Amigo (1/4), Admiral Stewart (8/13), Blazing Court (5/1), Supreme George (15/2), Man Of Action (25/1), Kanitamay (100/1), Team Endeavour (150/1)

ADMIRAL STEWART boasts the best form on show here and hails from a yard in fine form. He can return to winning ways. Bel Amigo and Supreme George look the obvious dangers.
