B Mr David Bobbett TIMEFORM VIEW In fine form last month, runner-up at Worcester prior to bagging handicaps at this course and Market Rasen. Kept busy since and right back on her game when finding only an unexposed rival too strong over C&D 10 days ago. TFRHHHII BHA100

Neil Mulholland, Limpley Stoke T B Mrs T. Brudenell Bet UK / Game Tech Marketing Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Fair Flat winner and getting his act together over hurdles in handicaps, runner-up the last twice. Should be a big factor at this level with cheekpieces now employed. TFRHHHHI BHA100

Tom Buckley (3) J Nigel Hawke, Tiverton T B Ecurie Du Cadran & Ecurie JML Racing Junction 24 Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Out of sorts for David Pipe to end 2021 but having been sold cheaply, he capitalised on a falling mark for new yard in 7-runner C&D contest last month. Fair fourth at Uttoxeter and probably best to overlook latest Flat run. TFRHHHII BHA95

Paul O’Brien J Claire Harris, Umberleigh T B Clive Cox Pickard Homes Solutions Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Back from a break and cashed in on a career-low mark in gritty fashion at Stratford 12 days ago. 4lb rise won’t prevent bold follow-up bid if he’s in the same mood. TFRHHHHI BHA78

PLAY SMARTER

CASTLE QUARTER is going the right way over hurdles, and with headgear fitted for the first time over obstacles, he looks the most persuasive option. Colonel Lesley and Karannelle head the opposition. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.CASTLE QUARTER (IRE) 2.COLONEL LESLEY (IRE) 3.KARANNELLE (IRE)
