7/4
French import who has shaped well on both starts for new yard. Plenty of promise in a race that worked out well in December and he was going well before slipping up last time. Not highly tried on handicap debut for last year's winning stable.

Half-brother to Somersby who was backed to make a winning hurdling debut in November. Let down by his jumping that day and in two starts since. Goes handicapping now and has an experienced rider on board.

10/1
Has failed to reproduce Irish form for Tim Vaughan and current trainer. Needs to find a lot but a market move would be interesting.

Runner-up in this last year. Subsequently picked up two races and was duly punished by the handicapper. Back to his last winning mark for a yard who are 3-8 here. Rider has one win from 14 rides.

Produced some good efforts during the summer. Will probably need this run after a four month absence. Rider has 15 winners to his name including a couple over the past few days.

Defied the handicapper to win two races at Uttoxeter before bursting a blood vessel when tailed off last time. Yet to prove he handles ground this soft but sire's progeny normally run to form on it. One to watch if over that latest problem.

Forecasts

Martabot (7/4), Fort Carson (7/2), Mister Big (9/2), Wistari Rocks (5/1), Looks Like Power (5/1), The Mad Well (10/1), Jigsaw Financial (16/1)

Verdict

MISTER BIG needs to improve his jumping but now handicapping he faces his easiest task to date. Market support for his hurdling debut suggests he may be better than we have seen and representing a good yard for a weak race he merits the selection.Wistari Rocks would be a threat if he can reproduce his Uttoxeter efforts on this ground and having bled last time. Martabot has shown signs of promise and is feared for a top yard who rarely leave here empty handed.
