TIMEFORM VIEW Landed a Fakenham selling handicap on his final start for Joe Ponting and notched 2 quick Ffos Las wins for his current yard. Has remained in form since and shaped better than the result (did too much too soon) at Market Rasen last time, so he’s still one to be interested in.

Ciaran Gethings

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest stayer on the Flat who has been running to a similar level consistently over hurdles, third at Worcester last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time in this sphere, but they’ll need to spark improvement.

Sponsor: Proactive Personnel Limited

Colours: DARK BLUE, YELLOW chevron, YELLOW and DARK BLUE hooped sleeves, YELLOW cap.

Form: 4B-0243

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair form shown in bumpers and while he has yet to match that over hurdles, he posted another solid effort when fourth in a novice at Stratford last time and he’s potentially well treated switched to handicaps. Yard boasts an excellent record at this track, so he’s worth a market check. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 99

Form: 443265- CD

TIMEFORM VIEW Well below form when last seen over hurdles but well treated and this C&D winner ran well on the Flat recently, so he’s not one to rule out despite his quirks.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair Flat winner who posted creditable third of 8 on handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen in February. Failed to build on that promise when fifth at Plumpton 3 weeks later and off since. Not one to write off just yet.

Race Summary:

GAVIN has started positively for his current yard and was better than the result in a much more competitive contest than he need contest at Market Rasen last time. The hood goes back on now and he still looks ahead of his mark, so he takes preference over Trick of The Tail, who is potentially well treated on Flat form My Brother Jack is another one to consider

Breeder: Coolmore

Sponsor: Foxtrot Racing Syndicates

Colours: LIGHT BLUE, WHITE epaulets, halved sleeves, RED cap.

Form: 410050-

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful at best on the Flat Won a pair of 2m novice hurdles last spring but found life tougher in handicaps after. Starts out for a shrewd stable on a reduced mark after 7 months off, so worth monitoring in the betting.

Race Summary:

Although out of sorts when last seen, TORONTO has plummeted in the weights and now makes his debut for a shrewd outfit, so he’s worth chancing if the market speaks in his favour after 7 months off. Forever A Dove remains unexposed and is likely to threaten, while Coeur Aimant warrants a mention having been denied by a subsequent winner at Uttoxeter last time
