THE TIMEFORM VIEW All of these arrive with something to prove but at least LADY JAGO remains with potential in this sphere so she gets the vote.

Gazette Bourgeoise is feared most off a career-low mark.

TIMEFORM VIEW Point winner who was well suited by emphasis on stamina when making a successful hurdle debut over 2 3/4m at Stratford last term. Well held switched to fences both starts this season, however. Headgear on.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW ZAFAAN very much exceeded expectations when third of 13 on his recent Southwell hurdles debut and, in an ordinary-looking maiden, a reproduction of that form could be enough to see him come out on top. Lindy Reilly disappointed on her Newbury handicap debut when last seen but had shown promise prior to that and is respected back in calmer waters, while Ilitch needs a market check now setting out over hurdles for a yard which has a fine record at this track.

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 17f), gaining deserved success at Catterick in October. Offered something to work on in the face of a pretty stiff task when sixth of 10 on Huntingdon hurdling bow earlier in the month and may do better.

TIMEFORM VIEW Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers and, as the market suggested she would (sent off at 11/8), she left her maiden form in this sphere well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Leicester (20.5f, heavy). 6lb rise TFRHHHHH BHA91 tolerable and there could be more to come.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Having improved when scoring on her handicap bow at Leicester, BARRA BLUE is taken to follow up here with a 6lb rise in the weights unlikely to be enough to stop in her tracks. Lady’s Present showed some spark on her second run following a lengthy absence and she is second choice ahead of Hurst Hill and Malago Rose.

TIMEFORM VIEW Opened her account at Ffos Las in November but only seventh of 10 in handicap there (20f, heavy) 10 days later. Others are more appealing.

Cheekpieces go on now.

TFRHHHII BHA96

THE TIMEFORM VIEW ONE LAST GLANCE surely has a race of this nature within his grasp if cutting out the mistakes and he earns the vote on the back of his Ffos Las second 6 weeks ago with cheekpieces now enlisted. Hardy Buck shaped encouragingly over hurdles for his new yard recently and is a player with a repeat back over larger obstacles. Birdman Bob is another not ruled out.

Well beaten in the Greatwood this campaign but ran better in decent handicap fourth of 6 in at Sandown (16f, heavy) 25 days ago. Step up in trip needs to bring about improvement, though.

TIMEFORM VIEW Multiple Flat/hurdles winner. Best run in this sphere came when second of 12 at Cartmel (17f, soft) in August. Tried over fences this season but hasn’t looked a natural chaser. Back hurdling now which should suit him better but pitched into a competitive enough event.

Sound comeback when runner-up back at Fontwell but didn’t see it out as expected when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Connections opt for first-time visor (usually cheekpieces) in the hope of seeing a stronger finishing effort.

TIMEFORM VIEW Dual hurdles scorer who opened chase account in March. Ran up to his best on comeback at Warwick (20f) but didn’t back that up when sixth of 8 in a handicap chase at Doncaster (20.5f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Return to smaller obstacles and first-time visor needs to spark some improvement.

TIMEFORM VIEW Continues to progress, outstanding recent record reading 3 wins and 3 seconds from last 6 starts, Latest second in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft, 5/2) 16 days ago could have easily been a victory with a better jump at the last and should go well again today.

TIMEFORM VIEW At least as good as ever having another try at chasing last season, making it 2 wins from his final 3 starts when successful at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) in January.
