DECLARED RUNNERS 9 2022: SUPER SIX 5 11 12 Sam Twiston-Davies 15-8
Stewards Note:
HERO: Following its run on 27/2/2023 it was reported that the horse made several jumping errors.
Probable S.P’s: 11-8 Hourvari (FR), 5-2 Bonttay (IRE), 5-1 Letterston Lady (GB), 11-1 Western Safire (IRE), 22-1 Minella Choice (IRE), 28-1 Hero (FR), 300-1 King of The Hill (IRE), Short Change Hero (IRE), Notbitterbutbetter (GB)
PLAY SMARTER
Quite an interesting opener HOURVARI scored in taking style at Lingfield and can follow up, although Bonttay has the potential to be a big threat as her smart bumper ability suggests she has the potential to step up on the form she showed when winning an ordinary mares’ maiden hurdle at Exeter last time Letterston Lady looks best of the remainder

TIMEFORM VIEW Won a handicap hurdle at Stratford in October and a course handicap chase (19f) in December Placed on his next 4 starts and the type to bounce back from a rare poor run at Catterick (Belle Na Bann well ahead in second) last month.
TFRHHIII BHA97
FORM 3U4340
TIMEFORM VIEW A touch disappointing since his near miss in a bumper on debut, including no significant impact in 2m handicaps the last twice. Now tries a slightly longer trip with a first-time tongue tie added.
TFRHHIII BHA96
FORM 50326-0
TIMEFORM VIEW Modest form over hurdles so far, including only seventh of 10 in 2m Chepstow handicap on reappearance in January Possible she’ll come on for the run but others make more appeal.
TFRHHHHI BHA92
FORM 5300
TIMEFORM VIEW Promise in his qualifying runs. Never involved on his Wetherby handicap debut 45 days ago but still very early days and his yard does well here. All the more interesting if backed.
TFRHHIII BHA88
FORM 5006-00
TIMEFORM VIEW Little impact in bumpers/maiden hurdles in Ireland and hasn’t fared any better in 2 outings for this yard, including a handicap last time Too soon to write olff but he needs a first-time tongue tie to give him a lift.
30Jan
TFRHHHHH BHA83
FORM 136422

FORM 0-55DP2
TIMEFORM VIEW Partnered by Brian Hughes when first past the post at Uttoxeter in July (subsequently disqualified for a banned substance) Returned from 4 months off to finish second at Southwell in November Off again since but the presence of Hughes in the saddle suggests he’ll be ready to roll. Considered.

DECLARED RUNNERS 8 2022: ASHOKA (IRE) 10 11 12 Harry Skelton 12-1 (Dan Skelton) 11 ran
Stewards Note:
FAZAYTE: Following its run on 28/2/2023 it was reported that the horse was never travelling.
GETBAZOUTOFHERE: Following its run on 8/1/2023 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the slow ground.
Probable S.P’s: 7-2 Belle Na Bann (IRE), 5-1 George Mallory (GB), 11-2 Fazayte (FR), 13-2 Money For Jam (IRE), 9-1 Hokelami (FR), 10-1 Iceman Dennis (FR), Any Biscuits (IRE), 12-1 Getbazoutofhere (GB)
BELLE NA BANN can cement her positive start for the Micky Hammond stable by resuming ways here George Mallory was first past the post at Uttoxeter (subsequently disqualified) on the previous occasion he was partnered by Brian Hughes and is next on the list. Hokelami is likely better than he showed on his handicap debut and is another to consider, particularly if the betting speaks for him. TIMEFORM

PLAY SMARTER
HALONDO has responded well to pressure to finish second at Ayr on his last two starts and an opening mark of 109 could prove lenient, so he takes preference over Happy And Fine, who is expected to bounce back from a lesser effort at Catterick recently Ballyhome also merits consideration.

PLAY SMARTER
Most of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for the reliable hurdler SOMEWHAT CLOUDY to make a winning start over fences. Dogem By Design is feared most if backing up his recent Catterick second ahead of another chasing debutant Blackwell Bay.
