Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3) (GBB Race) 22 Runners

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (21) (22/1 -175%) Tronador	22/1(-175%)	(21) Tronador 22/1, Shaped better than the result in Fred Winter at Cheltenham on final start last season and should be sharper for last month's reappearance run at Downpatrick. Remains capable of better.
2 2nd (16) (18/1 -13%) Dans Le Vent	18/1(-13%)	(16) Dans Le Vent 18/1, Better than ever when narrowly landing 7-runner handicap back hurdling following 13 months off at Hereford (19.5f) in December. Creditable efforts in defeat since but looks summed up by his mark.
3 3rd (2) (7/1 +0%) Edwardstone	7/1(+0%)	(2) Edwardstone 7/1, Back to winning ways in a small-field handicap in January and good efforts when third in Betfair at Newbury and fifth in County at Cheltenham since. Bred to stay 2½m. Much respected.
4 4th (10) (6/1 +20%) Mister Coffey	6/1(+20%)	(10) Mister Coffey 6/1, Improved again to win on handicap bow at Sandown (2m) in November. Progress stalled twice since but far from disgraced when seventh of 23 in Betfair at Newbury latterly. Up in trip. Still unexposed.
5th 5th (7) (25/1 +24%) Kateson	25/1(+24%)	(7) Kateson 25/1, Doesn’t always look straightforward but galvanised by first-time cheekpieces to win over C&D (heavy) in December. Good third at Ascot next time but not in the same form back there since.
6th 6th (14) (7.5/1 +32%) Solwara One	7.5/1(+32%)	(14) Solwara One 7.5/1, Bumper winner in November and also successful twice in novice hurdles since. Lacks experience for a race of this nature but he's a strong traveller who could be suited by big-field handicaps. Player.
7th 7th (12) (40/1 +20%) War Lord	40/1(+20%)	(12) War Lord 40/1, Solid second on return at Wetherby prior to going one better at Haydock. Not disgraced back at the latter course next run, but his last 2 efforts have been underwhelming. Bounce back required.
8th 8th (8) (33/1 +18%) Stolen Silver	33/1(+18%)	(8) Stolen Silver 33/1, Useful hurdler who matched that level without getting his head in front in three runs over fences to start this season. Ran poorly back hurdling at Ascot last time, though.
9th 9th (4) (10/1 -25%) Monte Cristo	10/1(-25%)	(4) Monte Cristo 10/1, French recruit and the ready winner of a competitive Kempton handicap (21f) on Boxing Day. Disputing fourth when badly hampered at last in Coral Cup at Cheltenham since. Remains open to improvement.
10th 10th (11) (14/1 +30%) Whatsupwithyou	14/1(+30%)	(11) Whatsupwithyou 14/1, Just an Ascot maiden win to his name but he has posted some good efforts in defeats in handicaps this term, the latest when 12 lengths fourth in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham. Yet another to consider.
11th 11th (22) (16/1 -33%) Amarillo Sky	16/1(-33%)	(22) Amarillo Sky 16/1, Improved effort over hurdles when making all on Exeter handicap debut a month ago. That was only a Grade 4 so this a significant jump in class but he had plenty in hand and is open to improvement.
12th 12th (6) (50/1 -52%) Amour De Nuit	50/1(-52%)	(6) Amour De Nuit 50/1, Made light of 20-month absence when landing 2½m Plumpton handicap in November. Solid in-frame efforts the next twice and not disgraced in Martin Pipe latest. Cheekpieces go on.
13th 13th (15) (14/1 +58%) Nightboattoclyro	14/1(+58%)	(15) Nightboattoclyro 14/1, Real improver for new yard during the winter, completing the hat-trick at Wetherby. Winning run came to a halt at Kempton last month but he still performed with credit in third.
14th 14th (17) (66/1 +0%) Thistle Do Nicely	66/1(+0%)	(17) Thistle Do Nicely 66/1, Useful novice hurdler in 2018/19 but absent since finishing fourth on Warwick chase debut in autumn 2019. This a big ask on his return.
15th 15th (20) (12/1 +52%) Strong Glance	12/1(+52%)	(20) Strong Glance 12/1, Won a couple of AW jumpers bumpers in February. Struggled back hurdling in the County at Cheltenham last month but has dropped back to the same mark as when second to Jacamar over C&D in October.
16th 16th (3) (80/1 -220%) Chapmanshype	80/1(-220%)	(3) Chapmanshype 80/1, Took form up another notch when landing a sixth handicap success at Kelso (21f) in September. May have been unsuited by soft ground when well held in Wetherby Grade 2 in October. Given break since.
17th 17th (13) (25/1 +0%) Jacamar	25/1(+0%)	(13) Jacamar 25/1, Useful hurdler who won over C&D (from Strong Glance) in October and added to tally over 21f at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Shaped as if still in form when midfield in jumpers bumper at Kempton since.
18th 18th (18) (18/1 +10%) Press Your Luck	18/1(+10%)	(18) Press Your Luck 18/1, Irish point winner who landed 2 novice hurdles in autumn. Disappointed next 2 starts but back on track when second of in 19f Newbury handicap hurdle 13 days ago.
19th 19th (1) (6.5/1 +24%) Wilde About Oscar	6.5/1(+24%)	(1) Wilde About Oscar 6.5/1, Challow run aside (bad mistake did for him), he has been unbeaten over hurdles, showing smart form switched to handicap company at Uttoxeter (2½m) last time. Should go well again.
20th 20th (9) (66/1 -32%) West To The Bridge	66/1(-32%)	(9) West To The Bridge 66/1, Bounced back to very best when runner-up at Wetherby (2½m) in February. Failed to stay 3¼m when remote fifth at Kelso last time so probably still in form.
21st 21st (5) (25/1 -25%) Master Debonair	25/1(-25%)	(5) Master Debonair 25/1, Grade 2 novice winner at Ascot last season. Disappointed in 2 runs for Colin Tizzard before Christmas but may fare better for a new yard after wind surgery. Up in trip.
22nd 22nd (19) (150/1 -127%) The Vollan	150/1(-127%)	(19) The Vollan 150/1, Dual hurdle winner last term and placed in 2 handicap hurdles over 23f to start this season. Hasn't taken to fences since then but may fare better back over the smaller obstacles after wind surgery.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (9/1 +0%) Belfast Banter	9/1(+0%)	(3) Belfast Banter 9/1, Off mark over hurdles in 2m maiden at Galway in October and produced his best effort yet when landing the County at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago. Things may not pan out so favourably here upped in grade.
2 2nd (5) (12/1 +57%) Do Your Job	12/1(+57%)	(5) Do Your Job 12/1, Irish point winner who has done well over hurdles this term, scoring twice in October. Ran at least as well as previously following a wind op when runner-up in Grade 2 event at Kelso but more needed.
3 3rd (6) (2.5/1 -33%) Dusart	2.5/1(-33%)	(6) Dusart 2.5/1, Looked a star in the making when scoring on debut for a top yard at Newbury in November, leading 2 out and keeping on well. Has scope for plenty of improvement and very much one to keep onside.
4 4th (8) (2.5/1 +29%) Third Time Lucki	2.5/1(+29%)	(8) Third Time Lucki 2.5/1, Enhanced his good record over hurdles with easy Kempton success on Boxing Day. Arguably shaped best when sixth on handicap debut at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago and he remains one to view positively.
5th 5th (7) (11/1 +0%) For Pleasure	11/1(+0%)	(7) For Pleasure 11/1, Headstrong front runner who was in fine form in first half of season, including Grade 2 novice win at Cheltenham. Ran his heart out to hit the frame in the Supreme but likely to come up short here.
6th 6th (9) (40/1 +39%) Timberman	40/1(+39%)	(9) Timberman 40/1, Promise for Nicky Henderson in 2019, and did well to overhaul his chief market rival on first hurdles start for this yard at Doncaster last month, leading under pressure run-in. Plenty more needed.
7th 7th (1) (8/1 +11%) Ajero	8/1(+11%)	(1) Ajero 8/1, Half-brother to connections' very smart chaser Charbel. Progressive over hurdles, extending winning sequence to 4 when easily seeing off 3 rivals in Huntingdon handicap 17 days ago. More to come.
\|U\| \|U\| (10) (9/1 +10%) Houx Gris	9/1(+10%)	(10) Houx Gris 9/1, Cost €200,000 after edging out Homme Public at Auteuil. Shaped really when finishing fourth on second start for this yard in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last month and he remains capable of better.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (14/1 -87%) Any News	14/1(-87%)	(2) Any News 14/1, Has made a bright start under Rules, supplementing his bumper win at Exeter on hurdles bow at Bangor in November. Yet to be asked for effort when unseating at Kelso and remains open to improvement.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (100/1 +33%) Bombyx	100/1(+33%)	(4) Bombyx 100/1, Useful on Flat for James Fanshawe and showed he still retains his ability when returning from a 21-month absence to easily make a winning start over hurdles at Huntingdon. Looks out of his depth here.

14:50 Aintree Maiden Chase (Class 1) 25f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Betway Mildmay Novices' Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race) 7 Runners

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1.38/1 +21%) Chantry House	1.38/1(+21%)	(1) Chantry House 1.38/1, Has met with defeat just twice under Rules (including when third in last year's Supreme) and took his place at the top table with victory in the Marsh last month. 3m will suit and the one to beat.
2 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +44%) Shan Blue	4.5/1(+44%)	(5) Shan Blue 4.5/1, Landed Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton in December before a good second in Scilly Isles behind Sporting John. Chance probably compromised by pressing on too early in the Marsh and better expected here.
3 3rd (4) (7.5/1 -25%) Fiddlerontheroof	7.5/1(-25%)	(4) Fiddlerontheroof 7.5/1, Tolworth winner last term who landed an Exeter maiden chase (19f) in November. Similar form all 4 starts in defeat since, latterly when runner-up behind Monkfish at Cheltenham latest. Each-way claims.
\|F\| \|F\| (3) (8.5/1 -13%) Espoir De Romay	8.5/1(-13%)	(3) Espoir De Romay 8.5/1, Useful hurdler who has done even better over fences, doubling chase tally with minimum fuss at Leicester (20f, heavy) last month. Quite possible he's a graded-class novice and good showing expected.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (5/1 +23%) The Big Breakaway	5/1(+23%)	(8) The Big Breakaway 5/1, Useful hurdler who landed Cheltenham novice (24.3f) on chase debut in November. Runner-up in Kauto Star in December and paid price for putting it up to Monkfish when third at the Festival.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (12/1 +52%) Empire Steel	12/1(+52%)	(2) Empire Steel 12/1, Hurdles winner who has improved markedly for the switch to chasing this season, completing simple task to make it 2-3 in a Kelso novice (23.4f) in February. More to come but this is a tough ask.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (16/1 +0%) Sporting John	16/1(+0%)	(7) Sporting John 16/1, Multiple hurdles winner who was an impressive winner of Scilly Isles Chase at Sandown in February. Jumping let him down at Cheltenham but he remains with potential, particularly at this trip.

15:25 Aintree Conditions Chase (Class 1) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Marsh Chase (Registered As The Melling Chase) (Grade 1) (GBB Race) 7 Runners

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (2/1 +33%) Fakir D'oudairies	2/1(+33%)	(3) Fakir D'oudairies 2/1, Top-class chaser who found only the highly-impressive Allaho too strong in the Ryanair at Cheltenham and no obvious reason why he won't go well again.
2 2nd (7) (14/1 -40%) Nuts Well	14/1(-40%)	(7) Nuts Well 14/1, Has really thrived since this time last year, making it 5 wins in last 6 starts when seeing off 11 rivals in Old Roan Chase at Aintree in October. Likely to give another good account if tuned up.
3 3rd (4) (14/1 +36%) Itchy Feet	14/1(+36%)	(4) Itchy Feet 14/1, Smart over hurdles and even better over fences. Generally creditable efforts in chases this term but underperformed back hurdling when fifth in Rendlesham at Haydock last time.
4 4th (8) (2.5/1 +17%) Politologue	2.5/1(+17%)	(8) Politologue 2.5/1, Captured a second Tingle Creek this term before creditable second to First Flow in Clarence House at Ascot. Freshened up since, so set for a bold showing.
5th 5th (2) (40/1 +20%) Duc Des Genievres	40/1(+20%)	(2) Duc Des Genievres 40/1, Arkle winner in 2019 for Willie Mullins. Good second at Cheltenham on debut for new yard but has struggled since.
6th 6th (5) (6.5/1 +7%) Master Tommytucker	6.5/1(+7%)	(5) Master Tommytucker 6.5/1, Front runner who often has a shocking mistake in him but that hasn't stopped him winning 3 times this season. Good second to Dashel Drasher in Betfair Chase at Ascot and may do better still.
7th 7th (6) (4.5/1 +40%) Notebook	4.5/1(+40%)	(6) Notebook 4.5/1, Top-class chaser. Wide-margin winner at Naas and good placed efforts next two starts. Underperformed in Champion Chase last time but could get involved if back on track.

16:05 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 1) 21f - 26 Run Class & Speed Card

Randox Topham Handicap Chase (Grade 3) (GBB Race) (National Course) 26 Runners

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (8) (7.5/1 -7%) Livelovelaugh	7.5/1(-7%)	(8) Livelovelaugh 7.5/1, Better than ever when placed in handicaps at Leopardstown last 2 starts and took extremely well to these fences when mid-division in the 2019 Grand National (didn't stay). Big run expected.
2 2nd (18) (33/1 +18%) Pink Eyed Pedro	33/1(+18%)	(18) Pink Eyed Pedro 33/1, Likeable chaser but found a good run of form coming to a halt in Grand Sefton over C&D in December and well held back over hurdles 3 months later.
3 3rd (17) (10/1 +17%) Senior Citizen	10/1(+17%)	(17) Senior Citizen 10/1, Coped really well with the demands of a big-field handicap when seventh in the Grand Sefton over C&D, impressing with his accurate jumping. Creditable fourth at Newbury since and frame claims.
4 4th (12) (20/1 +20%) Snugsborough Hall	20/1(+20%)	(12) Snugsborough Hall 20/1, Most progressive as a novice and turned in his most encouraging effort of the season when seventh of 14 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.4f, good, 25/1) 33 days ago. Probably no back number.
5th 5th (27) (33/1 +0%) Sir Jack Yeats	33/1(+0%)	(27) Sir Jack Yeats 33/1, Fairly useful chaser who was runner-up in Grand Sefton over C&D but found good run of form coming to an end at Fakenham and struggled back over hurdles next time. 4 lb out of the handicap.
6th 6th (13) (10/1 +60%) Dunvegan	10/1(+60%)	(13) Dunvegan 10/1, Creditable fourth on handicap chase debut at Punchestown in November and bounced back from a couple of disappointing efforts (seemingly failed to stay 3m) when third at Gowran. More needed on balance.
7th 7th (19) (100/1 +0%) Relentless Dreamer	100/1(+0%)	(19) Relentless Dreamer 100/1, Sparingly raced in 2018/19 but shaped encouragingly when third at Chepstow on last season's return. Reportedly finished sore on this year's reappearance and well held back over hurdles 3 weeks ago.
8th 8th (1) (14/1 +0%) Ibleo	14/1(+0%)	(1) Ibleo 14/1, Progressed rapidly over fences this season, winning cosily at Sandown/Doncaster before running well to finish a staying-on third in Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival. Worth a go at this trip.
9th 9th (16) (28/1 -27%) Ravenhill Road	28/1(-27%)	(16) Ravenhill Road 28/1, Looked at least as good as ever when making all at Doncaster last month. This is much tougher from a 9 lb higher mark, however, and has not always been a fluent jumper.
\|F\| \|F\| (9) (16/1 -14%) Precious Cargo	16/1(-14%)	(9) Precious Cargo 16/1, Failed to meet expectations since impressing on chase debut at Newbury last season but shaped better than the result would suggest when fifth at Warwick 6 weeks ago, making rapid headway.
\|U\| \|U\| (22) (12/1 +14%) Morning Vicar	12/1(+14%)	(22) Morning Vicar 12/1, Shaped like a non-stayer in the Kim Muir (3¼m) at the Cheltenham Festival so will be suited by dropping back in trip here. Others have more appealing profiles but is not handicapped out of things.
\|U\| \|U\| (7) (16/1 -14%) Huntsman Son	16/1(-14%)	(7) Huntsman Son 16/1, Made light of an 18-month absence with impressive victory in 19f Wetherby listed handicap chase on return and better than bare result at Cheltenham both starts since. Can go well.
\|U\| \|U\| (3) (25/1 -25%) Two For Gold	25/1(-25%)	(3) Two For Gold 25/1, Tough and reliable chaser who has finished out of the frame only once over fences. Others look better treated as a result and not the most fluent of jumpers.
10th 10th (15) (14/1 +30%) Storm Control	14/1(+30%)	(15) Storm Control 14/1, Has had an excellent campaign, winning twice at Cheltenham and respectable fifth in Kim Muir. Bold-jumping front-runner who could go well if getting into a decent rhythm over this shorter trip.
11th 11th (25) (25/1 +0%) Court Master	25/1(+0%)	(25) Court Master 25/1, Steadily progressive chaser who stayed on strongly to score over 2¾m at Kelso last month. Likeable type but a 5 lb higher mark (2 lb out of weights) in a stronger race demands more.
12th 12th (11) (12/1 -50%) Visioman	12/1(-50%)	(11) Visioman 12/1, Boasts a good strike rate over fences (4-9) and was in decent heart in the autumn, winning at around 2½m at Kilbeggan and Limerick. Recent return over hurdles should leave him spot on fitness-wise.
13th 13th (28) (66/1 +34%) Zalvados	66/1(+34%)	(28) Zalvados 66/1, Arrives in good form but is a frustrating sort who won't be suited by this long run-in and is 6 lb out of the handicap.
14th 14th (24) (33/1 +34%) Realm Keeper	33/1(+34%)	(24) Realm Keeper 33/1, Fairly useful ex-French chaser who has finally got his act together for this yard, suited by drop in trip to win at Fontwell and Carlisle. Will find this much more competitive, however.
15th 15th (5) (11/1 +31%) Modus	11/1(+31%)	(5) Modus 11/1, Very smart chaser who defied 16-month absence with ready win in 20f handicap chase here in November and fared best of those held up when third in Grand Sefton over C&D following month. Player.
16th 16th (20) (33/1 +0%) My Way	33/1(+0%)	(20) My Way 33/1, Blinkered and finally got off the mark over fences when making all in Kempton handicap but was hammered by the handicapper and duly struggled there next time.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (7/1 +13%) Caribean Boy	7/1(+13%)	(4) Caribean Boy 7/1, Taking winner of 20f Newbury Grade 2 in November and caught the eye in the Paddy Power Plate at the Cheltenham Festival 3 weeks ago, coming home well in a steadily-run race. High on shortlist.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (14) (25/1 +0%) Kauto Riko	25/1(+0%)	(14) Kauto Riko 25/1, Winless since 2018 but is very useful on his day and returned after a wind op with good fourth of 16 in 20f handicap at Cheltenham in November, though getting going too late to land a blow.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (21) (28/1 +44%) Lust For Glory	28/1(+44%)	(21) Lust For Glory 28/1, Twice a winner over fences this season but struggled back in a handicap at Sandown last time and others make more appeal.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (33/1 -18%) Robin Des Foret	33/1(-18%)	(6) Robin Des Foret 33/1, Strong traveller who often finds less than looks likely but dug deep to snap a long losing run in a minor event at Clonmel last month. Likely will prove vulnerable up this long run-in, though.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (40/1 -21%) Magic Saint	40/1(-21%)	(2) Magic Saint 40/1, Proved better than ever when putting up a high-class effort to win a Cheltenham handicap (2m) in November but disappointed upped in grade at Newbury latest and probably better over a shorter trip.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (10) (40/1 +20%) Glen Forsa	40/1(+20%)	(10) Glen Forsa 40/1, Very smart novice in 2018/19. Lightly raced since and mostly disappointing, including in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival 3 weeks ago.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (66/1 -32%) Ahoy Senor	66/1(-32%)	(1) Ahoy Senor 66/1, Successful pointer who showed promise in a bumper and created a good impression when making a winning start over hurdles at Ayr (20.4f) last month. Open to progress but this a major step up in class.
2 2nd (4) (1.62/1 +7%) Bravemansgame	1.62/1(+7%)	(4) Bravemansgame 1.62/1, Completed hat-trick in fine style in Grade 1 Challow at Newbury (2m4f) by 10l from Star Gate. Limitations exposed a little when third in the Ballymore but still sets the standard now up in trip.
3 3rd (10) (7.5/1 +17%) Oscar Elite	7.5/1(+17%)	(10) Oscar Elite 7.5/1, Winning pointer who looked useful when bagging two Chepstow novice hurdles before Christmas. Tongue tie seemingly helped a lot when an excellent second in the Albert Bartlett.
4 4th (13) (5.5/1 +27%) Streets Of Doyen	5.5/1(+27%)	(13) Streets Of Doyen 5.5/1, Useful form when completing four-timer at Cheltenham in October. Well held at Naas but back over a more suitable trip and much more like it when third in the Albert Bartlett. Tongue tie added.
5th 5th (7) (33/1 +59%) Doyen Breed	33/1(+59%)	(7) Doyen Breed 33/1, Bumper winner who confirmed promise of placed efforts in handicaps for new yard when off the mark at Ayr (3m). Collared close home at Kelso recently and this is a different level altogether.
6th 6th (11) (80/1 +20%) Pats Fancy	80/1(+20%)	(11) Pats Fancy 80/1, Looked useful prospect when making winning hurdling bow at Ffos Las in November. Upped in class and found wanting both starts this year.
\|F\| \|F\| (9) (4/1 +67%) Midnight River	4/1(+67%)	(9) Midnight River 4/1, Placed in strong bumpers and made experience over hurdles count when recording win number 3 at Ascot in February, seeing off Gallyhill. Looks well worth a go at 3m.
\|F\| \|F\| (15) (50/1 -25%) Topofthecotswolds	50/1(-25%)	(15) Topofthecotswolds 50/1, Useful chaser who put experience to good use when making all in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last month. Stays this far but dominating this field an entirely different undertaking.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (5.5/1 +39%) Gallyhill	5.5/1(+39%)	(8) Gallyhill 5.5/1, Cost £450,000 after sole point win and workmanlike when landing 16.3f Newbury novice in January. Held back by greenness when beaten by Midnight River at Ascot but remains one to be positive about.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (16/1 +36%) Bothwell Bridge	16/1(+36%)	(3) Bothwell Bridge 16/1, Useful in bumpers and made it 2 out of 3 over hurdles when ultimately presented with an easy opening at Hereford (25.5f). Stamina his forte but this asks a different question.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (12) (25/1 +24%) Sizable Sam	25/1(+24%)	(12) Sizable Sam 25/1, Bumper winner who recorded novice/handicap wins at Wincanton (up to 21.4f) during the winter. Sound fifth on first try over 3m since but needs to advance his form a lot to figure in this.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (28/1 -12%) Champagnesuperover	28/1(-12%)	(6) Champagnesuperover 28/1, Useful bumper winner who got firmly back on track after a wind op when convincing scorer of 2m4f Ayr novice. Ridden to get the trip upped in class in the Albert Bartlett and ran well in seventh .

1 1st (19) (12/1 +57%) Rowland Ward	12/1(+57%)	(19) Rowland Ward 12/1, Fairly uesful 1m4f winner on Flat and has matched that level of form over hurdles, good third at Fakenham last month on the back of a wind op. Needs considering.
2 2nd (14) (4.5/1 +44%) Camprond	4.5/1(+44%)	(14) Camprond 4.5/1, Useful 1m4f French Flat winner who has made a promising start over hurdles, overcoming jumping errors to land 2m Taunton novice 17 days ago. Has more to offer, and not ruled out now handicapping.
3 3rd (10) (5.5/1 +31%) Bold Enough	5.5/1(+31%)	(10) Bold Enough 5.5/1, Fairly useful winning Irish hurdler who got back on track after 6 months off when runner-up at Downpatrick (2m2f) 19 days ago. In excellent hands but this demands more.
4 4th (3) (6/1 +40%) Leoncavallo	6/1(+40%)	(3) Leoncavallo 6/1, Useful hurdler for Dr Richard Newland. Chase/Flat winner for current yard too and he returned from 5 months off with good sixth of 24 in Martin Pipe Hurdle at Cheltenham. Well worth considering.
5th 5th (13) (50/1 -52%) Eddiemaurice	50/1(-52%)	(13) Eddiemaurice 50/1, Tongue strap on and cashed in on reduced mark in 2m handicap at Ludlow 44 days ago. Up 5 lb and this is tougher so others appeal more.
6th 6th (9) (100/1 -150%) Red Force One	100/1(-150%)	(9) Red Force One 100/1, Landed 2m Market Rasen handicap last July for Paul Nicholls but lightly raced since and largely below form. Needs to step forward.
7th 7th (20) (50/1 -79%) Native Fighter	50/1(-79%)	(20) Native Fighter 50/1, Scored at Perth (20f) in August and posted excellent third at Doncaster on only subsequent outing. Off 4 months but he shouldn't be dismissed from a handy-looking mark.
8th 8th (18) (25/1 -56%) Thistimenextyear	25/1(-56%)	(18) Thistimenextyear 25/1, Fairly useful winner on Flat and over hurdles but not seen out for 22 months. This is no easy comeback, and it's easy to look elsewhere.
9th 9th (6) (40/1 -21%) Mick Maestro	40/1(-21%)	(6) Mick Maestro 40/1, Much improved this term for new yard when readily winning over 2m at Doncaster and Catterick, but his form dipped at Newcastle. Needs to get back on track.
\|F\| \|F\| (17) (4.5/1 +0%) Copperless	4.5/1(+0%)	(17) Copperless 4.5/1, Improving hurdler who made it 2-3 with stylish win on his handicap bow at Taunton last month, quickening clear from last having been forced very wide. Up 6 lb but still weighted to have a big say.
\|F\| \|F\| (2) (28/1 +0%) Fransham	28/1(+0%)	(2) Fransham 28/1, Better than ever this term, recording back-to-back 2m handicap wins at Wetherby. Good efforts when placed twice since and not discounted with conditions likely to suit this strong traveller.
10th 10th (7) (40/1 -60%) Goobinator	40/1(-60%)	(7) Goobinator 40/1, Notched third win over hurdles at Ayr in October and would have run really well had he stood up at Musselburgh in January. Third in Newcastle jumpers bumper last time. Shortlisted.
11th 11th (22) (25/1 +38%) Gemirande	25/1(+38%)	(22) Gemirande 25/1, Ex-French gelding who opened his account on these shores in 2m Wetherby novice hurdle in November. Good seventh in 2m Newbury handicap last month but he needs more from 3 lb out of the handicap.
12th 12th (8) (25/1 -108%) The Widdow Maker	25/1(-108%)	(8) The Widdow Maker 25/1, Progressing well and he arrives on a hat-trick after two 2m wins at Taunton, readily scoring in tongue strap on handicap bow 25 days ago. Hiked up 12 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.
13th 13th (11) (100/1 +0%) Beeno	100/1(+0%)	(11) Beeno 100/1, Veteran front runner who gamely landed early-season 2m1f Cartmel handicap. Not seen out since modest ninth over 2m4f here in October so has something to prove on his return.
14th 14th (16) (100/1 -52%) Turning Gold	100/1(-52%)	(16) Turning Gold 100/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler at his best for Nigel Twiston-Davies but he offered little after 11 months off/yard debut in 2m Haydock handicap. Something to prove now.
15th 15th (12) (33/1 -50%) Blakeney Point	33/1(-50%)	(12) Blakeney Point 33/1, Sprung a surprise when scoring at Musselburgh on New Year's Day, but not in the same form both runs since and blinkers retried on latter occasion. Others are preferred.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (11/1 -69%) Tomorrow Mystery	11/1(-69%)	(5) Tomorrow Mystery 11/1, Fair 12f Flat winner who has made good strides over hurdles, scoring at Newbury in November. Added Kempton jumpers bumpers victory last time (after a wind op) so much respected back in this sphere.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (15) (12/1 +0%) The Grey Falco	12/1(+0%)	(15) The Grey Falco 12/1, Made a winning start over hurdles at Chepstow and has posted solid efforts under a penalty both runs since, second at Ludlow (2m) in January. Possibilities on his handicap bow.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (14/1 +0%) Wild Max	14/1(+0%)	(1) Wild Max 14/1, Progressive sort who landed 2m handicaps at Huntingdon and Doncaster before Christmas. Fell first in Betfair Hurdle at Newbury only run since but could easily have more to offer here. Considered.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (28/1 +0%) Dear Sire	28/1(+0%)	(4) Dear Sire 28/1, Useful effort to win 2m Chepstow handicap in October but below form over hurdles since. Mark is sliding now but he still has plenty to prove.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (21) (100/1 -52%) Competition	100/1(-52%)	(21) Competition 100/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler for Dr Richard Newland in 2019. Largely in good form for Micky Appleby on Flat this winter but he has it to prove back in this sphere for his new yard.
