O Mr T. G. Leslie

Donald McCain, Cholmondeley T B Mr Finian Magner Proactive Personnel Limited S TIMEFORM VIEW Opened his account at the eighth attempt over fences at Sedgefield in January. Found plenty for pressure to follow up at Uttoxeter (2m) 13 days later but run of good form came to a halt at Kelso and had no excuses at Ayr on final outing. Mark probably still high enough.TFRHHHII BHA127

Br B m Midnight Legend - Miss Pross (Bob’s Return (IRE)) Tom Midgley (5) J O Cambridge Racing and Mr John Craggs Mark Walford, Sheriff Hutton T B Mrs G. B. Walford TIMEFORM VIEW Has done well since teaming up with this conditional, scoring at Carlisle in April before resuming winning ways in typically likeable fashion at Perth back in the summer. Found a career-high mark a step too far in a stronger race at Aintree 4 months on, though. TFRHHHII BHA124

Br Ch g Famous Name - You Got The Love (Hawk Wing (USA)) Niall Houlihan (3) J O Mr P. Mott Gary Moore, Horsham T B E.A.R.L. Elevage Des Loges Mtt S TIMEFORM VIEW Progressed in leaps and bounds over fences in 2020/21, completing 5-timer from the front at Fontwell (19.5f). Has run just twice since, pulled up on both occasions, but it’s worth noting he’s been ridden with more restraint than suits. Not written off with useful 3lb claimer back on board. TFRHHHHI BHA123

O The Caledonian Racing Society

Lucinda Russell, Kinross T B J. J. Howlett Ian Macleod & Co Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Point winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Kelso last season and showed better form in defeat after, including when second at this venue in March. Fell at the fifth on chasing debut/reappearance at Perth but made no mistake at Kelso (17.1f) a month on. Can rate higher in this sphere. TFRHHHHH BHA119

Hamel Stud Coulthursts Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Front runner who landed a couple of small-field events at Fontwell and Wetherby in March. Has returned in similar form and ought to remain competitive from his current mark, though his yard remain quiet. TFRHHHII BHA118

Br B g Thewayyouare (USA) - Female (IRE) (Saddlers’ Hall (IRE)) Gavin Sheehan J O Theoddsquad syndicate Pat Murphy, Hungerford T B Mrs Noeleen Roche Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland who upped his game a notch sent chasing when collared only close home in Downpatrick maiden just over a year ago. Wasn’t at his best back over hurdles there in July and has since left Henry de Bromhead (for £10,500). TFRHHHII BHA116

Interesting with his yard going well. TFRHHHHI BHA114

However, has struggled since then and looks opposable from 3lb out of the handicap with headgear left off. TFRHHHII BHA96

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Corrigeen Rock (IRE), 9-2 Rose Sea Has (FR), 11-2 Casa Tall (FR), 8-1 Darebin (GER), 9-1 Heartbreak Kid (IRE), 10-1 Clondaw Bertie (IRE), 12-1 Miss Amelia (GB), 14-1 High Up In The Air (FR)

PLAY SMARTER CORRIGEEN ROCK made no mistake on his second chase start at Kelso in October and, given he’s only a 5-y-o, he has the potential to rate much higher ever fences as time passes, so he’s a very appealing candidate for a stable that’s had its fair share of success at the big southern tracks. Casa Tall has dropped to a handy mark and could show the benefit of a considerate reappearance, while it would be unwise to dismiss High Up In The Air.
