TFRHHHII BHAFORM 02

TIMEFORM VIEW Well held on bumper debut in November but offered more when 16 lengths second on Huntingdon hurdle debut (2m, heavy) 4 months later. Up in trip now and may do better again. 28Mar

TFRHIIII BHAFORM 0-4

TIMEFORM VIEW Well held on Exeter bumper debut last winter and distant fourth switched to hurdles at Fontwell 15 months later. Outsider

TFRHHHII BHAFORM 646

TIMEFORM VIEW Yet to better modest form in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles but with a top yard so wouldn’t be a surprise to see that change before too long.

TFRHHIII BHAFORM

TIMEFORM VIEW Modest staying handicapper on the Flat. Doesn’t strike as an obvious type to make a winning start over hurdles.

TFRHHHHH BHAFORM

TIMEFORM VIEW Half-brother to 4 winners, including bumper winners/useful hurdlers Party Central and Craigneiche Dam bumper winner Likely type on paper

RACECOURSE DEBUT

TFRHHHHI BHAFORM 2/-252

TIMEFORM VIEW Showed a fair level of ability when runner-up in a brace of bumpers 25 months apart. Better effort over hurdles when a remote second over 21f here 4 weeks ago May do better again. 30Mar

TFRHHHHI BHA106

FORM 3-30P2

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden hurdler who arrives on the back of a creditable runner-up effort in maiden at Fontwell (19f) 23 days ago Likely to give another good account.

FORM 0-U3

TIMEFORM VIEW Related to some useful performers in these silks. First sign of ability when 28 lengths third of 9 at Newton Abbot (17f, soft) 19 days ago Likely capable of better again for top stable now she’s up and running. 8Apr

TFRHHIII BHAFORM 46

TIMEFORM VIEW Below-par efforts in 2 juvenile events nearly 4 months apart.

Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Scene One (IRE), 4-1 Kankin (GB), 11-2

Those with experience don’t set the bar too high so a chance is taken on well-bred Dan Skelton newcomer GLORIOUS FUN, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Scene One has been placed 3 times in similar company and heads the dangers along with last month’s course second Kankin.

TFRHHIII BHAFORM 60P4

TIMEFORM VIEW Some promise in bumpers but well beaten so far over hurdles. Probably more one for handicaps. 27Mar

TFRHHIII BHAFORM 6406

TIMEFORM VIEW Has shaped like a stayer in bumpers/ over hurdles, so there’s a chance this longer trip brings a bit more out of him. Has plenty to find, however

TFRHHIII BHAFORM F-4F244

TIMEFORM VIEW Made frame both completed starts in Irish points and better effort over hurdles when fourth in a novice at Plumpton last time Hard to fancy despite a first-time tongue strap.

TFRHIIII BHAFORM F3330

TIMEFORM VIEW Out of a dual bumper winner but has shown little over hurdles so far.

TFRHHHHH BHA113 FORM 4-233

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair in bumpers and encouraging signs on both outings over hurdles, third in a strong race at Ascot last time Might not need to improve to open his account.

TFRHIIII BHA-

FORM 00

TIMEFORM VIEW Down the field on both outings in bumpers and up against it switched to hurdling.

TFRHHIII BHAFORM 555

TIMEFORM VIEW Seemed in need of experience in a bumper and, while there has been signs of ability over hurdles, he’s probably not up to getting competitive in this.

TFRHHHHI BHAFORM 3

TIMEFORM VIEW Half-brother to Protektorat and offered plenty of encouragement when third in a juvenile at Doncaster on hurdling ddebut 77 days ago Could improve markedly, so merits consideration.

DECLARED RUNNERS 10 2022: COMMANDER MILLER 8 11 6 Gavin Sheehan 22-1 (Danni O’Neill) 8 ran Running for the first time since Wind Surgery No 9.

Stewards Note:

DELGANY DREAMER: Following its run on 16/4/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left handed.

Probable S.P’s: 6-5 Spago (IRE), 15-8 Montregard (FR), 18-1 Diamond Twin (FR), 20-1 Delgany Dreamer (GB), 25-1 Honneur de Sivola (FR), 33-1 Democritus (GB), 40-1 Shot Tower (IRE), 66-1 The Full Pasty (IRE), 150-1 Midnightinbresil (GB), 300-1 Lady Plumton (GB)

PLAY SMARTER

SPAGO took a step forward from his hurdling debut when third at Ascot last time and a performance of similar merit will probably be enough for him to get off the mark despite the presence of Montregard, who is open to considerable improvement. The others don’t make much appeal.

disappointing both starts since and needs to get back on track here following a second wind op

TFRHHHII BHA97

PLAY SMARTER

MY ROCKSTAR didn’t have much in hand when opening his chase account at Wincanton but a 4lb rise looks fair given that the first two pulled well clear of the rest The 7-y-o may well follow up here with this step up in trip a potentially good move An on-song Spotty Dog would have a chance but My Bad Lucy may pose a bigger threat.

PLAY SMARTER

The vote goes to GARDENER, who failed to measure up to market expectations when only fourth on his hadicap debut at Hereford but is well worth another chance on account of the promise he showed prior to that. Maclaine got back on track when placed at Exeter and he looks dangerous, while King Alexander is also accorded respect.

FORM 2/-1P411

TIMEFORM VIEW Bumper/hurdles winner who has improved a little to land 2 of his 3 starts over fences, seeing off a sustained challenge from the runner-up for the latest of them at Plumpton (25.7f) 18 days ago Possibilities in hat-trick bid from 2lb higher mark.

FORM 2U-112P D

TIMEFORM VIEW Did well upon joining new yard, winning a couple of 3m Bangor handicap chases and second to a well-treated sort at Uttoxeter (26f) in June Shaped as if retaining all his ability before being derailed by a bad stumble on return here (29f) in March and better expected now.

DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2022: THE LATE LEGEND 9 10 7 Mr Luke Scott 15-2 (Tom Weston) 7 ran

Stewards Note:

DARANOVA: Following its run on 12/3/2023 it was reported that the horse erred badly on the final circuit.

ECLAIR DE GUYE: Following its run on 9/4/2023 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe

Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Northern Poet (IRE), 9-2 Eclair de Guye (FR), 13-2 Daranova (IRE), 15-2 Who’s In The Box (IRE), 9-1 Henschke (IRE), 10-1 Coo Star Sivola (FR), Pottlerath (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

A number arrive with something to prove but that can’t be said for NORTHERN POET who saw off a sustained late challenge to double his career tally in this sphere at Plumpton recently and a mere 2lb rise should see him go well again in his hat-trick bid. Daranova, with a reappearance run under his belt, and Eclair de Guye head up the dangers.
