Timmy Tuesday²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-5| T: G Elliott| OR: 137

13/2

Two wins from 6 runs last season and progressed again when second of 17 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Aintree (24.7f, good) 24 days ago, succumbing to a stronger stayer having committed for home sooner. Leading claims.

Form: 021312

Cave Court⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| T: N C Kelly| OR: 128| BF| D

28/1

Six wins from 23 NH runs. Two wins from 6 runs last season. Fourth of 5 in handicap chase (15/8) at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) 52 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Form: 177214

Slanagaibhgoleir^p1²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| T: G Elliott| OR: 122| C

28/1

Course winner. Creditable eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, good, 8/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and should remain competitive.

Form: -4P048

Blue Hop^t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 121| D

10/1

Thriving at present and ran out quite a striking winner of 13-runner handicap hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f, good) 32 days ago by 4¼ lengths from Kilta, travelling strongly. Booking of Blackmore a plus. Looks sure to go well again.

Form: -63121

Bright Legend^p⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| T: D Hogan| OR: 120

12/1

Respectable second of 19 in maiden hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft, 11/4) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 392342

Bridie's Beau⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 118| CD

33/1

Landed back-to-back big-field handicaps over C&D and at Gowran in January/February. Run best excused at Naas (23.1f) last time and can get back on track returned to a shorter trip.

Form: 605110

Hartur D'arc⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 118| D

12/1

13/2, good second of 14 in handicap chase at Naas (24.8f, soft) 51 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Merits consideration.

Form: 0-9UF22

Luminous Light^h⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| T: A McCann| OR: 118

16/1

Followed up his Clonmel chasing success back over hurdles in 20-runner handicap at Cork (20f, good to soft) 40 days ago, keeping on in second when left in front last.

Form: 445411

Rocheval³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 118| BF

12/1

Good second to Stay If U Want on handicap debut at Kelso in February and probably would have won but for departing back in a novice there (20.9f) last time. Still low mileage.

Form: 111-42F

Stay If U Want To^h⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 116

16/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, soft, 7/2) 74 days ago by 4½ lengths from Rocheval, travelling strongly. 7 lb higher mark demands more but should be suited by the demands of this race.

Form: 227621

Camino Rock^p,t²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| T: M F Morris| OR: 114

50/1

25/1, ran poorly when ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Wexford (24.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 617639

Must Go Now⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| T: E Cawley| OR: 113

28/1

Winner at Fairyhouse in January but was below form after 12 weeks off when ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 9 days ago.

Form: F-50139

Boyles Hill⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| T: Evan Williams| OR: 112| D

20/1

Made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts in 11-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 91 days ago, again showing a good attitude. 5 lb higher here but further improvement can't be ruled out.

Form: 321011

Londonofficecallin^t¹⁰⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 112| C

10/1

Resumed progress when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20.6f, heavy, 7/1) 107 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Sammy Smart, driven out. 10 lb higher in a stronger race.

Form: 6116-01

Crazierthandaisy³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| T: N J Henderson| OR: 110

12/1

Successful at Warwick in December and shaped better than the bare result when 6 lengths third of 13 to Blue Hop in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f, good) 32 days ago, chance-ending mistake last. Can do better still and remains of interest.

Form: 31-2213

Sammy Smart⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| T: T Gibney| OR: 110| C

33/1

Course winner. Winner in hurdle here in December. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24f, good to soft, 10/1) 57 days ago.

Form: 038126

Down Around^b⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 108

33/1

Creditable 8¼ lengths third of 8 to Timmy Tuesday in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good, 7/1) 43 days ago. Remains with just one win to his name.

Form: 021453

Kilta^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| T: S England| OR: 108

33/1

Caught the eye when 4¼ lengths second of 13 to Blue Hop in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f, good) 32 days ago, needing stiffer test. Return to shorter not sure to be in his favour and needs plenty to drop right.

Form: 323432

Billy Lee Swagger^p¹³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 107| C

12/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Navan (25f, good to soft, 11/4) 135 days ago, left poorly placed. Worth considering having shaped well when fourth in this race 12 months ago.

Form: 1224-29

Noble Park⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| T: N J Henderson| OR: 107

22/1

Shaped quite well when 5½ lengths second of 12 to Almuhit in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to soft, 22/1) 51 days ago, rallying 2 out. Drop back in trip not sure to suit, however.

Form: 860U22

Almuhit^t⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 106

11/2

Supplement his Southwell success in good style in 12-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Warwick (21f, good to soft) 51 days ago by 5½ lengths from Noble Park, plenty in hand. Has since left Gary Brown.

Bounced back to form when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 53 days ago. This is appreciably more competitive.

TIMMY TUESDAY went like the best horse at the weights when succumbing to a stronger stayer in a competitive Aintree handicap and remains of strong interest. Blue Hop and Crazierthandaisy finished 1st and 3rd in the same handicap at Wetherby the previous month, with the former running out quite an impressive winner and the latter shaping better than the bare result. Hartur d'Arc is another to note reverting to hurdling.
