Bertie's Ballet
BERTIE'S BALLET is a course winner who shaped as if as good as ever when given a considerate return at Haydock last month. He's fancied to resume winning ways at the expense of Ginger Mail, who also appeals dropped in class. Lance Les Des has shaped well twice here this season and looks ready for handicaps, while fellow handicap debutants Liberty Coach and Triple Crown Ted are also worth noting.

Won at this C&D in November on second hurdling start but found it tougher under penalty when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Ayr (9/2) 31 days ago against above-average prospects, shaping as if 8-week absence might have been telling late on. Handicap debut and remains one to keep in mind.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAyr2mHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle4/10Kelso2m 51ySoftHurdle1/7Kelso2m 51yGoodHurdle3/13Ayr2mHeavy (Soft in places)Bumper2/5Ayr2mSoftBumper2/12- 1Bertie's BalletJ: Brian HughesE: Dianne Sayer62312-7Âge 87/27/210/3

Course bumper winner who was successful at Haydock last January. Given a considerate comeback when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (9/1) 27 days ago after 11 months off, shaping as if as good as ever but not knocked about. Makes plenty of appeal down in grade.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosHaydock Park1m 7f 144yGood to SoftHurdle7/8Wetherby2m 3f 154ySoftHurdle2/11Haydock Park1m 7f 144ySoftHurdle1/8Haydock Park1m 7f 144ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle3/5Haydock Park1m 7f 144yHeavyHurdle2/8- 3Chase A FortuneJ: Danny McMenaminE: Chris Grant-5F2122Âge 85/15/111/2

Won at Wetherby in December wearing first-time cheekpieces and ran well both starts since from higher marks, second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (9/2) 19 days ago, sticking at it gamely behind a lightly-raced rival.

Free-going sort has yet to recapture best since leaving Alan King but ran better from a slipping mark when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (14/1) 43 days ago, headway before 2 out but one paced after. Claims if he can build on that having first run after wind operation.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosMusselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/9Kelso2m 51ySoftHurdle4/6Carlisle2m 1f 33ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle11/13Fakenham2m 3yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/7Taunton2m 104ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle10/14- 10Travis WheatleyJ: Ryan ManiaE: Adam Nicol444F-4PÂge 69/19/18/1

Point winner/maiden hurdler was prominent in the market when fourth of 6 at this C&D on stable debut in November. Pulled up in 3m handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (10/3) 67 days ago, sloppy jumping evident as he weakened from 3 out. Not long with this yard and worth a market check back down in trip.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosMusselburgh2m 7f 180ySoftHurdlepu/7Kelso2m 51ySoftHurdle4/6Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)HurdleF/7Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to SoftHurdle4/7Catterick Bridge1m 7f 156ySoftHurdle4/5- 6Liberty CoachJ: Richie McLernonE: John & Sean Quinn036Âge 512/112/114/1

Useful on the Flat and left his hurdling debut form behind when third at Wetherby in late December but proved a let-down at Doncaster (13/2) 3 weeks ago, off the pace and no response from 2 out. Could do better on handicap debut with cheekpieces back on.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosDoncaster2m 128ySoftHurdle6/8Wetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/11Wetherby2mSoftHurdle11/14Ayr1m 2fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat9/13Southwell1m 3f 23yStandardFlat5/11- 2Ginger MailJ: Bruce LynnE: N.

Won a novice hurdle at Ludlow by 17 lengths in October 2024 but fell at Ayr 457 days ago on handicap/stable debut and not seen since.
