Form & Verdict
Point winner who wore a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) recently on his first run since a wind op and easily won that maiden hurdle at 8-11; probably needs another step forward now carrying a 7lb penalty against a talented rival, but still very much respected.

Held on well to exploit reduced mark in Newcastle handicap (2m7f, heavy) in January but was quickly back in the doldrums when pulled up (albeit in valuable race) at Doncaster last month; this hunter chase debut is much less competitive but it's hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task.

Exploited what was a very good mark at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) and the front two pulled clear; raised only 3lb for that but consistent he is not; others safer.

11st 10lb

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

Represents top southern stable and he's very well handicapped on last season's best form; could stage a revival at some point but he struggled in the autumn on his last three starts and there's also a stamina query.

Form & Verdict
Went close in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in January and won easily at Newbury (2m4f, heavy) last month; it was a conditionals' handicap last time so he escapes a penalty and holds strong form claims in receipt of weight from his sole rival.

Good fourth over C&D (soft) in November and outstayed next-time-out winner Jalisco Star when scoring at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; still on workable mark after latest 2lb rise; likely contender again.

J: Freddie Gingell

Took a hiding at the weights for Newbury win (2m4f, heavy) last March; he's run to a similar level in defeat twice since but was pulled up at Fontwell in February and 3m2f may be further than he wants to go.

12/1

Verdict

Things clicked in a big way for KRUGER PARK in a conditionals’ handicap at Newbury last month and he goes unpenalised for that success. He is taken to follow up although easy Market Rasen winner Theformismighty could pose a major threat.[Ben Hutton]
