Dormello Mo - (Exeter, 14:40) 5/1 (B365) Winner French juvenile hurdle winner who made second start for Paul Nicholls a winning one on handicap debut at Sandown in March. Excuses on return at Chepstow last month, and he remains with potential.
Tracked leaders, travelling best when mounting challenge and short of room 2 out, led before last, comfortably (op 9/2 tchd 6/1)
Henryville - (Market Rasen, 14:05) 2/1 (Betfair) X Strong traveller who is in the form of his life, successful in handicaps at Newton Abbot and Fontwell and better still when runner-up at Cheltenham last month. Up another 5 lb and claimer not on.
Held up in last, headway to chase leaders approaching 2 out, weakened last 150yds (op 15/8)
Chestertern - (Uttoxeter, 14:30) 5/2 (Bet 365) Winner Won Warwick handicap hurdle in spring 2013. Largely found life tough over hurdles/fences for Jennie Candlish last term but no surprise if he bounces back to form on debut for Warren Greatrex. Chased leaders, driven 7th, 2nd before 2 out, led last, found extra closing stages (op 7/4)
Kings Bayonet - (Kempton, 18:20) 6/1 X Latest win at Chester in July. 22nd of 23 in handicap at Doncaster (12f, heavy, 33/1) 25 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Mountain King - (Aintree, 14:05) 8/1 X Completed the hat-trick (somewhat fortuitously) in novice company at Ascot in February. No major impact first 2 handicap starts this term, but step up in trip is a good move. Chased leaders, not fluent 4 out, ridden and weakened 2 out (op 13/2)
Dormello Mo - (Sandown, 14:25) 7/2 X French juvenile hurdle winner who made second start for this yard a winning one on handicap debut over C&D in March, and proved much better for return when easy winner at Exeter (tongue tied). Player. Prominent, close enough before 2 out, soon ridden, weakened and mistake last (tchd 4/1)
Chestertern - (Ffos Las, 14:50) 2/1 X Proved at least as good as ever to land a gamble on first outing for 9 months for new yard at Uttoxeter, a little clumsy at times but responding really well. Up 10 lb but can go well again.
Kings Bayonet - (Lingfield, 14:05) 7/1 x Latest win at Chester in July. Step back in right direction when creditable 3rd of 6 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 13/2) 38 days ago.
Been told to watch out for this horse in handicaps over the jumps 2014?15 Still running on the flat
Mountain King - (Newbury, 13:45) 11/2 X Bumper/hurdles winner last term. Satisfactory return at Cheltenham but struggled next 2 starts. Softer ground here should at least suit now going chasing for the first time.
Bob Tucker - (Huntingdon, 15:00) 5/2 X Progressed well over hurdles last term for Brendan Powell, winning at Worcester/Wincanton, and has found the frame on his first 2 starts in this sphere. Remains open to improvement.
C&D winner in March who turned a listed Ascot handicap into a procession on November's reappearance and easy to forgive his effort in the Christmas Hurdle since (not given a hard time once held).
Transformed since moving to this yard, readily accounting for a next-time-out winner when scoring at Southwell in December. Much better than result at Wetherby since and still looks on a good mark.
Pretty useful winning hurdler who ran well enough to suggest he'll prove just as effective over fences before much longer when third of 4 on Newbury debut last month.
Readily accounted for a next-time-out winner when scoring at Southwell in December and has shaped better than the result suggests when fourth at Wetherby/Sedgefield since. 2 lb lower here.
