Argent Knight⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Dave Crosse| T: C N Kellett| OR: 104

100/1

Has an official rating of 104 and that shows he has 26lb to find with the principals. Has been in decline for some time and hard to recommend.

Form: 227/08

As I See It⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: N P Madden| T: H Fry

11/10

Form of his last run has worked out really well and he is not flattered by an official mark of 130. Open to further improvement and yard have been going well.

Form: 31-5423

Circuit Court¹⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: P R WebberWS

25/1

Cost €47,000 and made good progress to win the last of his four starts in point-to-points in Ireland. Pulled-up on rules debut and has undergone wind surgery since.

Form: P/22-1P

My Liege³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

16/1

Landed a Wincanton bumper two seasons ago and has had an interrupted career since. Jumped poorly on hurdling debut a month ago but bred to do better at this trip. Stable are struggling for winners at present and others make more appeal.

Form: 13/5

Oakley Hall^p1⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 130

10/11

Had good bumper form in Ireland and looked a likely future winner on his hurdling debut in November. Not at his best next time but was running a big race until coming down at the last at Doncaster. Big chance on that showing and cheekpieces fitted.

Form: 221-36F

Shanroe Tic Tec¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Mason

100/1

Modest point-to-pointer whose best efforts have come on better ground than forecast. Faces a stiff task on rules debut.

Form: U2P-4UU

Forecasts

Oakley Hall (10/11), As I See It (11/10), My Liege (16/1), Circuit Court (25/1), Shanroe Tic Tec (100/1), Argent Knight (100/1)

This looks to rest between Oakley Hall and AS I SEE IT who have identical BHA ratings. The former has shown enough to suggest there is a race of this nature in him, but AS I SEE IT has probably done more to earn his current mark and his yard are in better from of the two. His latest run has been franked by those ahead of him as well as the fourth and he has the scope to improve further.
