Verdict
JUNIOR DES BORDES is a fascinating contender on handicap debut for a yard that does so well with new recruits. He may be able to defy a long absence and bag another winner for the bang in form James Owen team. Of the rest, Man of The Sea should be suited by the step back up in trip while last time out winner Dirty Den merits consideration back in open company.

VerdictReturned from a winter break to win on the Flat at Bath and posted another creditable effort when second over hurdles at Taunton since. Ran in snatches when finding things too sharp at Hereford (16.2f) earlier this month. Capable of better over this longer trip. - 2. Junior Des BordesJ: Ben BromleyT: James Owen

VerdictPromise amidst inexperience when third at Ffos Las on debut in October 2022. Didn't back that up when well held at Kempton (soft) on final run for Twiston-Davies team the following month. Has long absence to overcome but could do better now handicapping for yard in red hot form. - 3. Dirty DenJ: Callum PritchardT: Anthony CharltonF: 6422254-1

VerdictRunner-up 3 times in handicap hurdles earlier this year and refitted with a hood, bounced back to his best to get off the mark in this sphere in a Worcester novice handicap (16f) 19 days ago, ridden out. Should give another good account back in open company.

VerdictPlaced on first of 2 starts in bumpers for previous yard. Latest outing after 8 months off (left Emmet Mullins), went off at long odds sent handicapping and offered little. Hard to fancy unless market hints at improvement on second start for Neil Mulholland.

VerdictHas won a couple of races in maiden/novice company (including at this course) but yet to bag a handicap, though shaped better than the bare result when creditable fifth of 11 in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good) 19 days ago. One to consider.

VerdictPoor handicapper on Flat. First form (modest) over hurdles when second in a novice at Fontwell but held back by lack of experience on handicap hurdle debut at Newton Abbot the following month. Last seen finishing well beaten on Level on final run for Adam West. Needs more on stable debut.
