T Michael Appleby, Oakham S Tote

PINK, PURPLE cross belts, quartered cap.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair but temperamental sort on the Flat (won twice on AW this winter). Didn’t match that level in a handful of hurdles starts in 2020 but likely remains capable of better in this sphere. Star RatingHHHHH Official BHA Rating 92 CHARLIE HAMMOND

TIMEFORM VIEW Slightly underwhelming at Worcester last time but she has largely held form since joining this yard and can give another good account in change of headgear. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 91 TOM BUCKLEY (3)

TIMEFORM VIEW Largely exposed as a poor hurdler and though her most recent start in September was a career-best in this sphere, she remains largely opposable for win purposes. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 14/9/2021 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 76 DANIEL HISKETT (3)

T Richard Hawker, Frome MAROON, YELLOW hoop, hooped sleeves and cap.

TIMEFORM VIEW Still very lightly raced for one his age and made the frame on 2 of his last 3 completed outings (hampered and unseated last time). Holds place claims if returning in same form. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 76 SEAN HOULIHAN

TIMEFORM VIEW Hasn’t been disgraced in low-grade handicap chases since joining this yard but 2 starts over hurdles have offered few positives. Player if able to find best form but that’s far from certain. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 75 DAVID NOONAN
