Reblis^p¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Jason Nuttall⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 100

20/1

Yet to score in nine starts over hurdles and attitude is not all that great. Pulled up over fences on Boxing Day.

Form: 322-327

Alberto's Dream^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: James Nixon⁽⁷⁾| T: T Symonds| OR: 99

20/1

Chase win at Huntingdon in March a rare going day, last month's Bangor second not much to write home about and tough to fancy back hurdling here.

Form: P213-P2

Act Now^t⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Aidan Coleman| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 94

7/2

Back from a long layoff to finish third at Bangor on Boxing Day in first handicap start, claims here if not suffering any reaction to that effort.

Form: 179/58-3

Goodnight Charlie¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: J M Quinlan| T: C Fryer| OR: 94

40/1

First start in handicap company and looks likely to be up against it.

Form: 9P318-1

Point N Shoot⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C Gethings⁽⁵⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 92

10/1

Beaten a long way in maiden/novice events. Goes handicapping now and could improve.

Form: 405

Romeo Americo¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Kevin Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 89

9/1

More than four years and 21 runs have passed since he got the job done but continues to slip down the handicap and hasn't been disgracing himself.

Form: 756221-

Jappeloup⁶²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell| OR: 88

16/1

15-race maiden under rules, second at Plumpton last month over three-miles but rises in the weights for that effort.

Form: 675520

Flugzeug⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Daniel Sansom⁽¹⁰⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 88

25/1

Efforts at Plumpton in two starts this winter haven't been great and hard to hold much confidence currently.

Form: 24342-1

Premier Rose³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Benjamin Poste⁽³⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 87

9/1

Chased home easy winner at Bangor last month, must deal with extra yardage here but has since dropped in the ratings.

Form: 75F55P

Arden Denis²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: N D Fehily| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 87

2/1

Sent off favourite last month at Ffos Las after two-year layoff, unable to sustain effort then but could build on it here.

Form: 75561/4

Direct Flo^b1¹²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Hammond⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Summers| OR: 74

50/1

Mare last won in July 2012 and no encouragement on return from 14 months off when beaten long way at Worcester in September, off again since and blinkers go on now.

Form: 243/75-0

Burgess Dream¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: Miss A M Newton-Smith| OR: 74

8/1

Long-standing maiden, switching between hurdles and fences this term without any great signs of promise.

Form: 451216-

Warsaw Pact⁶²

Age: 14| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr B Paris-Crofts⁽⁷⁾| T: S D Dixon| OR: 69

66/1

Formerly useful but not 14-years-young and two runs last month didn't scream of an Indian summer.

Form: 90P067

Bobonyx¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: James Banks| T: D L Williams| OR: 58

100/1

Record is modest at best and races here from 16lbs out of the handicap today.

Forecasts

Arden Denis (2/1), Act Now (7/2), Brown Bear (5/1), Burgess Dream (8/1), Premier Rose (9/1), Romeo Americo (9/1), Point N Shoot (10/1), Jappeloup (16/1), Alberto's Dream (20/1), Reblis (20/1), Flugzeug (25/1), El Indio (25/1), Goodnight Charlie (40/1), Direct Flo (50/1), Warsaw Pact (66/1), Bobonyx (100/1)

These are a fairly uninspiring bunch for the most part but PREMIER ROSE ran a fair race at Bangor last month to chase home an easy winner. She's gone down in the ratings since and may trouble the judge if repeating that effort. Arden Denis was well-supported on his return to action last month and will be interesting to note if the money arrives again. Point N Shoot has his chance on handicap bow while Act Now can build on his Boxing Day third at Fontwell with the benefit of the run. 1. Premier Rose 2. Arden Denis 3. Act Now
