Munsif (G)
FAV
[H]
Useful winner on Flat for Roger Varian and has shaped well over hurdles for new connections, though went freely without his usual hood when third in 2m Navan novice 8 days ago. Capable of a fair bit better now going handicapping with headg…

Paddockwood (G)
[T]
Bagged a pair of soft-ground hurdle wins at Cagnes-sur-Mer for Mathieu Pitart this winter. Raced too freely for his new yard in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham last time.

King Al (G)
Fairly useful Flat winner. Got off the mark in this sphere at Ludlow (2m) in February but failed to back it up when fifth of 10 in 2m Warwick novice 3 weeks ago. Needs to bounce back on his first go in handicap company.

Thomas Bellamy | A King | 4 | 73 kg |

Talakan (G)
A fair winner on the Flat in France and has made a promising start over hurdles for his new stable, hampered last when second of 11 in 2m Warwick juvenile 21 days ago. Should go well with potential for improvement still there.

The Bellhop (G)
[P]
Bagged a pair of Fontwell juvenile hurdles before Christmas and posted another good effort (in first-time cheekpieces) when third of 6 in 2m Sandown handicap 22 days ago. Well in the mix eased 1 lb.

Mojito Des Mottes (G)
[T]
Winner on hurdling debut in France but yet to match that form in 3 starts for new yard, a never-dangerous fourth of 9 in 2m Newbury juvenile 30 days ago. Has since had a breathing operation ahead of his handicap bow.

Galactique (G)
Landed back-to-back 17f juvenile hurdles at Fontwell in the autumn but he's been well beaten in Cheltenham Grade 2 and Sandown handicap since. Has it to prove now.

Innamorato (G)
[P]
French recruit got off the mark at the third time of asking for Paul Nicholls in novice at Taunton (19f) in February and backed it up with a solid third under a penalty in 2m Newbury juvenile 30 days ago. Steps into handicaps now.

Cayman Dancer (C)
A fair Flat winner for Charlie Johnston and he has made a promising start in this sphere for his new yard, first past the post at Fontwell last time (hung right and demoted). Keen-going type who can do better still now handicapping.

Senator (G)
Fair Flat maiden in France. Changed hands for €140,000 and has improved with each of his 3 runs over hurdles, readily landing 2m juvenile at Market Rasen last month. Has more to offer on his handicap debut. Likely player.

Gallivanted (G)

A fair 1½m Flat winner for Tom Clover last May. Changed hands for 70,000 gns and quick to get off the mark over hurdles in 2m novice at Musselburgh in February. Only a fair third in 2m Huntingdon juvenile since though so more is needed her…
