J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

Has soon left all his hurdle form behind over fences and arrives here on a hat-trick after clearcut wins in Class 5 soft-ground handicaps over similar trips at Catterick and Wetherby; the concerns are whether he can deal with the latest 10lb rise in classier company and drying ground might not be ideal.

Kept on for third here (2m3f, soft) in December on second chase start and improved for the step up in trip to win at Catterick (3m1f, soft) last month, beating Court At Slip by 10l; unexposed over staying distances and he's a strong contender up 7lb for last time.

Took advantage of a final-fence error from The Clonmel Kid to get off the mark over fences at the 20th attempt over C&D (good; 10-1) 18 days ago; effectively 6lb higher from out of the weights today and her task is tougher; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
12yo who is without a win since December 2023 but he ran his best race for some time when fourth at Carlisle (3m2f, soft) in November and when seventh at Ayr last time he was back up in grade; his mark continues to fall and this front-runner, who has won here, could make a bold bid.

8 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
No match for the front two when third at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but today's slower ground is probably in her favour and she was runner-up to a handicap blot at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) two starts ago; this front-runner is high on the list.

Suffered early mishap three starts ago but placed on other four outings this season, most recently when second ay Exeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham and would appeal more on ground slower than good but still features prominently in calculations.

Very inconsistent 10yo who sometimes races lazily and is never easy to predict; comes here fresh and on career-low mark but has presumably been overlooked by Sean Bowen today and cannot be supported with much confidence; versatile ground-wise.
