Jordan Nailor (3) J Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham T B Byerley Stud Ltd Agetur (UK) Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Quickly developed into a useful novice hurdler, winning the EBF Final over C&D (heavy) by 11 lengths under this rider when last seen in March. Stunning start in handicaps and could have more to come. TFRHHHHI BHA131

Kevin Brogan J Harry Fry, Seaborough T
B John Barry TIMEFORM VIEW Fragile but useful and all the better for a wind op as he gained a first win for almost 4 years in 19.2f Fontwell 4-runner handicap hurdle in the mud 5 weeks ago. No banker to be in the same form. TFRHHHII BHA129

Lorcan Williams (3) J Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T B Aiden Murphy Run To Global Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Winning pointer who got off the mark over hurdles at Wincanton (21.3f) in March fitted with a tongue tie. Mistakes and disappointing at Chepstow next time but could still do better this term. Wind op. TFRHHHII BHA128

Jeremy Scott, Dulverton T B Laurence G Kennedy Brendon Powerwashers S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful chaser but shaped pretty encouragingly back off his lower hurdles mark after 6 months off at Fontwell, clear of rest. Gone well here in the past and player up 4lb in re-fitted tongue tie. TFRHHHII BHA126

Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham T B Genesis Green Stud Ltd P3P Partners LLP, Agetur (UK) Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Not shown much for a while but has a good record fresh and handicapper has given him a big helping hand as he returns over hurdles. Young 10lb conditional been shaping up well. Interesting. TFRHHHHH BHA125

Philip Hobbs, Minehead T B R. McCarthy Cedar Invest Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Jumped poorly but still managed to open his account in 21f Ludlow novice hurdle when last seen a year ago. Hood fitted for handicap debut/return and he’ll need to cut out the mistakes. TFRHHHII BHA123

Haras de Son Altesse L’Aga Khan Jacobs Construction (Holdings) Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Won 17.7f Fontwell handicap hurdle in September and travelled well in deeper ground in race won by Mr One More back there 5 weeks ago.

TFRHHHII BHA115
O Mr Robert Frosell
Oliver Sherwood, Upper Lambourn T B Dream With Me Stable Inc Rewards 4 Racing Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Won a claiming hurdle on final start in France, but failed to make much of an impact for Charlie Mann. Could revive for new yard after 7 months away. TFRHHHII BHA113

PLAY SMARTER
It could be worth chancing COUNT MERIBEL. It’s been a while since he’s run to his useful best but the handicapper has given him a huge chance ahead of a rare run over hurdles and his good record fresh bodes well. His stablemate Beauport is obviously a lot safer on paper having run his rivals ragged in the EBF Novices’ Final here when last seen. Champagne Court and Broken Halo are also considered.
