Form & Verdict
Upped to about 3m once switched to handicaps and she won two of her first three attempts, both on soft; not disgraced when third at Chepstow on reappearance, albeit sent off favourite; needs to resume improvement but that's possible and she should have a good shout in this field.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

Has won two soft-ground handicaps at about 3m but found heavy too taxing when a disappointing favourite at Ffos Las last time; wasn't at her very best first time back either but there are further races in her off this mark.

Form & Verdict
Productive over 2m3f-2m4f from last autumn until this spring, winning six times; however, shockers on his next two outings and latest (3m, heavy) was not wildly better; acts on soft but stamina has not been proved.

Strike-rate of 6-17 over hurdles and the latest of those wins was off a 3lb higher mark; however, there's been pretty much nothing to take from his last five appearances and would appear to be going chasing under a cloud.

Six wins between November 2022 and May 2023 included one over C&D (good); back to within 1lb of the final winning mark in that sequence, but too far below par the last four times to expect him to capitalise.

Between November of last year and this May he won six times in seven starts (2m3f-2m4f); however, shot up the weights as a consequence and he's beaten only one finisher in his last three appearances; has stamina to prove.

Four seconds on soft and he ran respectably on his only appearance on heavy ground; a solid end to last season has been carried over to this campaign and he shouldn't be far away.

Course specialist who won two in a row over C&D (heavy/soft) in January; he's better than he showed when 15l third over C&D (soft) in February and the subsequent break may have helped, but this 10yo may still be vulnerable back up in grade.

Form & Verdict
Switched back from chasing for latest start, from a career-low mark, and it worked as he came from off the pace to take that six-runner race at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) one month ago; back up 6lb, which seems to demand more, but this is a small field and he acts on soft.

Long in the tooth now but looked as good as ever last year and was very respectable third over C&D (soft) in December; needs to rebound from a below-par run here on New Year's Day but recent 2lb drop helps, and he has gone well for 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop before.

T: Michael Mullineaux

Dual hurdle winner in 2022; placed twice on the AW this autumn but his last two Flat runs were disappointing and this chasing debut will be his 82nd career start; 3lb out of the weights; too risky.

66/1

Verdict

Chris Cool demonstrated the staying power that will be needed when he emerged on top last time on his return to hurdling, but this trip and ground might prove just the ticket for JASMIWA now that she has a run under her belt. There are several more each-way options but Artic Mann is third on the list.[Richard Austen]
