Lacked fluency when fourth in two 3m Fakenham chases this autumn and now reverts to hurdling; will be suited by today's drop back in trip, though, and and won't mind the forecast rain; can exploit a favourable mark. |

Showed little in early ventures in bumpers and pulled up on hurdle debut but she came clear in quite pleasing style when winning a 2m1f maiden at Fontwell in August and had a stiff task under a penalty next time; should have a future at this level now handicapping. |

12st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways after six months off in 4m1f hunter chase at Warwick (good) 22 days ago; effective over this much shorter trip and this likeable front-runner is not out of things. |

Highly impressive 26 finishes in the first four (eight of them wins) from 30 rules/pointing runs for the Owens, with stamina proven up to 3m6f; all-the-way hurdles winner over 3m2f here just last autumn (good), and likelier than some to run his race. |

Bumper winner; far from solid on hurdles form, latterly pulled up in both runs this term; however, the switch to chasing is a possible source of improvement for this southern raider; shortlisted. |

19th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Unexposed 5yo who won a Hexham bumper last year and kept on for respectable third here (2m4f, soft) on handicap hurdle debut in March; open to improvement over today's longer trip but needs to bounce back from last month's poor seasonal debut (first-time cheekpieces; retained) and is 2lb out of the weights. |

Narrow Cartmel winner off 2lb higher in August (2m6f, good to soft) but below form both starts since and stamina has not been proved beyond that, including in two runs last year over 2m7f. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

One win in 18 starts came in a four-runner hurdle in November and form of that race is decidedly shaky; poor under both codes since then including when well behind Reverberation over C&D in December. |

Lowly rated maiden on the Flat; won what turned out to be a very uncompetitive juvenile hurdle here (2m1f, heavy) in November but was pulled up when back in a handicap hurdle at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) recently. |

Seemingly back in good form when second at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) in May but has quickly gone off the boil again since; on a very good mark now but needs combination of refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie to give him a shove forward. |

Verdict
The sole runner on the card for Nigel Twiston-Davies, and with confidence in him restored by last month’s Perth romp, AWESOME FOURSOME (nap) additionally has in all likelihood the least of any to worry about should the worst projections of the forecast rainfall be realised. My Gift To You is likely to prove popular for local connections and is probably next likeliest back down in trip, assuming conditions don’t go right against him. [Jeremy Grayson]
