Stewards Note:

TIMEFORM VIEW

Half-brother to the yard’s very smart Cepage has qualified for handicaps with a pair of fourth-placed efforts in maidens. Remains with potential from fair-looking opening mark, though perhaps will be of more interest when stepped up in trip

TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly-raced hurdler confirmed previous promise when easily winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 6 days ago, well suited by the return to positive tactics. The one to beat under a penalty

good

TFRHHHII BHA85

FORM 4-26513 BF

TIMEFORM VIEW Flat-bred gelding seemed well suited by quick conditions to get off the mark at Doncaster in January and wasn’t disgraced from 5lb higher mark when third there last month. Player on those efforts, though needs to prove his suitability for softer ground.

HUNTER LEGEND: Following its run on 31/1/2023 it was reported that the horse erred badly in the back straight.

STARVOSKI: Following its run on 5/2/2023 it was reported that the horse would prefer slower ground.

AMBASSADOR: Following its run on 20/2/2023 it was reported that the horse ran too freely early-on.

Telhimlisten (IRE), 7-2

Half The Freedom (GB), 5-1

Erigmoor (GB), 13-2 Hunter Legend (FR), 9-1 Starvoski (IRE), 40-1

(IRE)

TELHIMLISTEN ran out an easy winner at Southwell on Monday having been allowed to bowl along in front, and a 7lb penalty shouldn’t be enough to stop him repeating the dose here. Handicap-debutants Erigmoor and Hunter Legend may pose the biggest threats, with Stuart Edmunds’ representative perhaps of more immediate interest.

TIMEFORM VIEW £130,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field. 3/1, showed up well for a long way when well-held fifth on 19f Taunton hurdle debut in December Has subsequently undergone wind surgery (also wears a tongue tie). Could leave that bare form well behind, particularly if betting vibes are strong.

TFRHHHII BHAFORM 32-035

TIMEFORM VIEW Placed in 2 bumpers in Ireland. Sound start to hurdle career for new yard when third at Haydock (2m) in December but faded into a remote fifth over 20.5f at Southwell since. Will need to get back to the Haydock form to play a prominent role

PLAY SMARTER

DANCILA won a decent race on his hurdle debut and should be very hard to beat unless the betting suggests that a lot better is expected from Dan Skelton’s Great Samourai after wind surgery Ffos Las third King of Brazil may prove best of the rest

PLAY SMARTER

ENJOY YOUR LIFE showed fairly useful winning form in France and looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut for Venetia Wiiliams so is taken to make a winning start for his new yard and defy an absence. Cedar Row appeals as the sort to do better now handicapping so is next on the list, with in-form Pilsdon Pen rating the pick of the rest and a solid place prospect.

VOLCANO looks set to erupt again back up in trip and can win this race for the third year running for Sheila Lewis and Ben Jones. Wild Romance is interesting up in trip for Warwick’s leading yard and the hint should be taken if she’s backed in first-time headgear Samuel Jackson and last year’s runner-up Eclair de Guye are also in the mix.
