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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr2mHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle4/10Kelso2m 51ySoftHurdle1/7Kelso2m 51yGoodHurdle3/13Ayr2mHeavy (Soft in places)Bumper2/5Ayr2mSoftBumper2/12- 1Bertie's BalletJ: Brian HughesT: Dianne Sayer62312-7Age 84/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock 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- 6Liberty CoachJ: Richie McLernonT: John & Sean Quinn036Age 59/2

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster2m 128ySoftHurdle6/8Wetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/11Wetherby2mSoftHurdle11/14Ayr1m 2fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat9/13Southwell1m 3f 23yStandardFlat5/11- 9Lance Les DesJ: Sean QuinlanT: N.

Third of 11 in maiden hurdle at this C&D (15/2) 46 days ago, making his presence felt against a couple of potentially above-average novices.

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. Can continue to give a good account.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSedgefield2m 178yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/7Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/9Wetherby2mSoftHurdle1/6Carlisle2m 1fSoftHurdle2/10Kelso2m 1f 14yGood (Good to Soft in places)ChaseF/7- 8Heart AboveJ: Peter KavanaghT: Dianne Sayer4412164Age 88/18/19/1

Has won twice at this venue, most recently over 21f last November, and bounced back to form when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (28/1) 43 days ago.

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 7f 180ySoftHurdlepu/7Kelso2m 51ySoftHurdle4/6Newcastle2m 190yGood (Good to Firm in places)HurdleF/7Musselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to SoftHurdle4/7Catterick Bridge1m 7f 156ySoftHurdle4/5- 2Ginger MailJ: Bruce LynnT: N.

Successful at Ayr off 4 lb higher last January and wasn't disgraced when third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (12/1) 21 days ago, though left behind by the front pair late on.

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 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- 4Highly RecommendedJ: Charlie MaggsT: Dianne Sayer0/F31F-Age 725/120/122/1

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. Long absence remains a concern and market can guide with yard also saddling Bertie's Ballet and Heart Above.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr2m 4f 100yGoodHurdleF/8Ludlow2m 5f 55yGoodHurdle1/6Worcester2mGoodHurdle3/10Stratford-on-avon2m 2f 148yGoodHurdleF/9Hereford2m 53yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper10/15
