Mare who was progressive last year and returned to form when seventh of 15 at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last month, beaten just under 3l; she went very close in a 3m point and this first attempt at a staying trip under rules is worth a go; not discounted. |

Hasn't won for nearly two years but creditable second at Wetherby on reappearance (2m3f, soft); pulled up on heavy latest but he is on a good mark and no surprise if he were to run well. |

Mudlark who has won five times over hurdles, four of them here; 0-5 over fences and was under pressure some way out when only fourth of five finishers at Haydock in December; dropped 4lb as a result but needs to raise his game. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
10yo who is well handicapped on his old hurdle/chase form and wasn't disgraced over hurdles here last month when back from a long absence; struggled with his jumping over fences 11 days ago and reverts to hurdling this afternoon for his in-form stable, but others arrive with less to prove. |

Went close over fences at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in February 2022 then absent until Wetherby (2m3f, soft) six weeks ago, when not running badly over hurdles; he's well handicapped on his old form and it will be no surprise to see a big run for his in-form yard. |

Five-time winner, including over 2m3f here; hasn't been at his best in two runs this season and probably best watched in what looks a competitive event. |

Low-mileage 6yo; won Galway maiden last September (soft) but disappointing in four runs in Britain since, early faller in Scottish Champion (Handicap) Hurdle latest; questions to answer. |

Defied 5lb higher mark over hurdles last April (2m4f, good to soft) but has been lacklustre this season, including in three chase runs; did at least shape a bit better last time (beaten 15l) and this is weak. |

Won in fairly good style off today's mark over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last April but struggled on seasonal debut in November and pulled up in two subsequent chases; big leap of faith required to support her after those lacklustre efforts. |

Chasing did not go to plan but he's returned to hurdles on last two starts, runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on latest despite not always jumping fluently; off the same mark, he should make his presence felt. |

Won over C&D (good to soft) in April 2023 and returned to form to win on stable debut at Cartmel (2m6f, heavy) last August; however, two lesser runs have followed and he needs to get back on track after a break. |
