TIMEFORM VIEW Dual soft-ground bumper winner at the start of 2021 and made an impressive transition to hurdling when scoring at Bangor 13 months ago. Not seen since but has plenty of potential nonetheless. Star RatingHHHHH BHA 126 2 KRACKA NUT (GB) (28) 10-1 D

B g Blue Bresil (FR) - More Like That (IRE) Jockey: Bridget Andrews Owner: Mike and Eileen Newbould Trainer: Dan Skelton, Alcester Breeder: Mr D. Futter & Mr W. Kinsey Sponsor: The Air Ambulance Service (Warwickshire & Northamptonshire)
TIMEFORM VIEW Looked well-above average when quickening up smartly to make a winning start at Catterick in December and was back on track when making a successful hurdling debut at Market Rasen recently. Open to improvement. Star RatingHHHHI BHA 3 MATATA (IRE) (29) 1-1 D

B g Vadamos (FR) - Wattrey Jockey: Daryl Jacob Owner: Mr Simon Munir & Mr Isaac Souede Trainer: Nigel Twiston-Davies, Cheltenham Breeder: David Commins Sponsor: Ptarmigan Media Limited
TIMEFORM VIEW Half-brother to 5 winners, successful on his only point outing, and maintained his unbeaten record in ready fashion at Fakenham last month. Should take a hand. Star RatingHHHHI BHA 4 THRONE HALL (GB) (60) 1 D

Jockey: Gavin Sheehan Owner: J Allison & Partner Trainer: Archie Watson, Upper Lambourn Breeder: Sheikh Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum Sponsor: Archie Watson Racing Ltd
TIMEFORM VIEW Useful on the Flat and off the mark at the first attempt in this sphere in novice at Uttoxeter a couple of months ago. Shrewd stable can get more out of him, and he’s worthy of consideration. Star RatingHHHHI BHA 5 ONTHEROUGE (GB) (28) 12-2 BF

TIMEFORM VIEW Bumper winner who might have beaten Kracka Nut on hurdling debut had it not been for a bad mistake 3 out at Market Rasen. Getting weight all round and should make his presence felt. Star RatingHHHHI BHA -
DECLARED RUNNERS 5 2021: LAKOTA WARRIOR (IRE) 5 10 12 Lorcan Williams 9-2 (Dan Skelton) 4 ran
Hood worn by No. 3. Tongue Strap worn by No. 2.
Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Fruit N Nut (IRE), 7-2 Matata (IRE), Ontherouge (GB), 11-2 Kracka Nut (GB), Throne Hall (GB)
PLAY SMARTER All five have a chance but FRUIT N NUT is the form pick and is worth chancing to defy an absence to make it two from two over hurdles. Matata is an obvious danger after an impressive Rules debut, while Throne Hall is open to improvement based on Flat form.
