Unlucky not to make a winning hurdling debut in November. Has failed to reproduce that effort and looked an awkward ride last time. Champion jockey 6-19 for the yard over the past twelve months.

7/2
Comfortable winner under today's rider last time. Took advantage of a good mark that day and faces a stiffer task now. Yard in top form and took this last year. Has won a chase here over this trip and has plenty going for him.

4/1
Only lightly raced so far with one start in a bumper (finished runner-up) and three runs over hurdles. Shaped relatively well in a small field novice at Leicester last time out and makes his handicap debut off a mark that should be workable having looked as though handicaps would suit.

6/1
Winning Irish pointer who just lasted home last time. Form has been boosted since and he has the scope to defy a 6lb rise in the weights. Yard are going well and an obvious contender if seeing out the extra trip.

10/1
Winner of two races last Spring. Has been struggling against the handicapper since but has eased to a more attractive mark now. Last run offered little encouragement.

18/1
Form has been in and out for the past few seasons. Ran well enough on New Year's Eve to be a factor here. His latest effort, when pulled up in Midnight Request's race at Carlisle, whilst making him hard to fancy also suggests he might do better here.

Runs well here as seen last time when chasing home a potentially well treated horse. Another big run from the front is anticipated.

Forecasts

Shoofly Milly (3/1), Midnight Request (7/2), Smoking Dixie (4/1), Waterloo Warrior (11/2), Ben Arthur (6/1), Pine Warbler (8/1), Mogestic (10/1), Giveitachance (18/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT REQUEST and Ben Arthur are recent winners representing yards in form. The former has proven form at the trip and a previous win at this stiff course may tilt this race his way. Ben Arthur has room to improve and the form of his Ffos Las victory is working out well. He was all out close home that day and it remains to be seen if he can stay this far. Shoofly Milly always runs well here. She often finds one or two too good and will be thereabouts again.
