9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but needed considerable help from the handicapper before his hurdling win for Dan Skelton in March; unplaced in five French hurdles since joining Sophie Leech and not the most obvious answer here; suited by soft/heavy ground. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
With the cheekpieces off and having dropped down the weights, he returned to form with a creditable third at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; his rules wins have come on soft/heavy ground and he's a strong contender if producing another good performance here. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Inconsistent during last season's first chasing campaign but he posted a win at Ayr (2m4f, heavy) in January and was a very close third there (2m4f, good to soft) on last month's reappearance; remains lightly raced and is not ruled out in a first-time tongue-tie. |

Struggling for form since joining this stable but he's become very well handicapped; hard to completely rule out but he needs to step up; stable also runs Twilight Glory. |

Prolific for Jennie Candlish over 2m-2m4f in March/April 2023, one of those wins at this track; failed to fire in his four races for Stuart Coltherd, before sold for £3,000 last May; off the course since New Year's Day last year but well handicapped if he's back to form at first attempt returned to this trainer, who's having a good season; needs a market check. |

10st 13lb |
Not one to rely upon heavily nowadays and might be ideally suited by a stiffer track than this, but left a low-key reappearance run behind when fourth here (3m, good to soft) in November and remains on a good mark. |

Started off for Brian Ellison with four consecutive wins last season, the latest in Eider Chase at Newcastle (4m1f, heavy), but made a low-key reappearance at Newcastle in November and needs to bounce back with a career-best performance here. |

12yo who won at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) last month and kept on for a good third there (2m3f, good to soft) last time; hasn't convinced at this longer trip in the past but it's a while since he tried it; not ruled out. |

Won at Musselburgh (2m7f, good to soft) last month and another good run when second of 13 over this C&D since (good; albeit no match for the winner); ran well over C&D on soft ground last March; he's one to consider. |

Back in peak form when keeping on well for clearcut win at Musselburgh (2m7f, good to soft) this month, his third chase success; may not have much margin for error after recent 5lb rise but this C&D also suits. |
6/1 |
Verdict
The signs look good for DONNA’S DOUBLE (nap), who has an unblemished second-time-out record and should build on his Ayr reappearance effort. Old Painless (second choice) and Anglers Crag are interesting contenders for their new yards, while Telhimlisten may well bounce back to form.[Steve Boow]
