Kelvin Forlonge
KELVIN FORLONGE did the job well over this C&D on his handicap debut at the beginning of December and, with further progress likely, this unexposed type will prove a tough nut to crack off a 6 lb higher mark. Irish raider Gather Yourself is greatly respected on the strength of his latest effort in a more competitive race than this at Navan, while C&D scorers Better Be Definite and Shoeshine Boy, who followed the selection home here last month, are others to consider.

Irish raider who, though 0-9 in this sphere, produced one of his better efforts when third of 13 from 7 lb out of the handicap at Navan (25f, heavy) last month. Definite chance off his correct mark here, in a lesser race and with Sean Bowen booked.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNavan3m 1fSoft to HeavyHurdle3/13Fairyhouse3m 110yHeavyHurdle5/10Sligo3m 1f 80yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Hurdlepu/8Killarney2m 6f 180yYieldingHurdle4/12Kilbeggan3m 200yGood to YieldingHurdle13/16- 1Kelvin ForlongeJ: Patrick WadgeT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore354-551Age 63/13/111/4

Promise in bumpers and maiden/novice hurdles prior to taking a sizeable step forward on handicap debut over C&D (heavy) last month, ridden clear after the last to beat Shoeshine Boy by 3½ lengths. May have got off lightly with a 6 lb rise, especially given his scope for further improvement.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 70yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Kelso2m 6f 151yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/7Kelso2m 4f 189yGoodHurdle5/9Hexham2m 48yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/9Ayr2mSoft (Heavy in places)Bumper5/14- 7Holly BirdJ: Brian HughesT: Sandy Thomson4P5-532Age 79/29/25/1

Still a maiden but she posted creditable efforts in defeat the last twice, latterly finishing second in a 19.3f Catterick handicap (good). Pulled nicely clear of the third that day and each-way chance if coping with this step up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/10Ayr2m 3f 110yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle3/7Ayr2mSoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle5/14Kelso2m 2f 25yGoodHurdle5/6Carlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdlepu/5- 4Shoeshine BoyJ: Craig NicholT: Donald Whillans79-832FAge 107/17/113/2

Now 10 lb lower than when successful on soft ground at Hexham in October 2024 and shaped as though his turn may be near when chasing home Kelvin Forlonge over C&D on penultimate start. Departed 2 out at Wetherby since but live each-way chance granted a clear round back at this venue.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby3m 26ySoft (Good to Soft in places)HurdleF/16Ayr3m 70yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle2/10Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/10Perth2m 7f 207ySoftHurdle8/9Perth3m 2f 127yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle9/12- 8Better Be DefiniteJ: Jamie HamiltonT: N.

Off the mark over C&D in March 2024 and doubled his tally in a Hexham handicap last spring. By no means disgraced when fourth of 9 back from a break at Kelso (21f, good to soft) in November and, likely to strip fitter now, he's not without a chance off this 2 lb lower mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 4f 189yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/9Hexham2m 7f 63yGoodHurdle10/14Hexham2m 7f 63yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/16Ayr3m 70yGood to SoftHurdle1/15- 6Maura JeanneJ: Alan DoyleT: Ian Duncan534-626Age 915/29/18/1

Proved better than ever when doubling her tally over this C&D last February and stepped up on reappearance run when finding just one too good at Hexham in November. Failed to make an impact at Haydock since but that was a higher-grade handicap and she's not without hope off 2 lb lower back here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park3m 58yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/7Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/10Perth2m 7f 207ySoftHurdle6/9Perth2m 7f 207yGood to SoftHurdle4/11Newcastle2m 7f 149yGoodHurdle3/9- 2Piaff BubblesJ: Nathan MoscropT: Rebecca Menzies5344-3PAge 1011/114/112/1

Off for nearly 2 years prior to last term but made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts during that campaign and reappearance third at Hexham was respectable. However, completely misfired back up in trip at Haydock last time and cheekpieces now refitted in place of the hood.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park3m 58yGood to SoftHurdlepu/7Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/12Ayr3m 70ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/13Catterick Bridge3m 1f 71ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/8Ayr3m 70ySoftHurdle3/9- 3Monsieur Le FuzzJ: Ross ChapmanT: Rebecca Menzies4961-46Age 714/112/116/1

Much improved on second handicap start in first-time cheekpieces over C&D last spring, narrowly prevailing in a big-field handicap. Wasn't disgraced without headgear on return but looked rather laboured with cheekpieces refitted (on again here, with first-time tongue strap also enlisted) last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter2m 7f 70ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/7Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/12Ayr3m 70ySoftHurdle1/16Market Rasen2m 7f 16yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/9Carlisle2m 1fSoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle9/12- 10Nae Bother At A'J: Bruce LynnT: N.
