The Flame⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 122| CD

3/1

Has improved since being switched to fences and jumped well to score decisively over C&D last time. Up 10lb, but has to go on the short list.

Form: 1P6821

Hillary View^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 120| BF

7/2

Winner and runner-up on first two starts over fences and was odds-on when a faller at Hexham last week. On a retrieval mission off the same mark and has strong claims if all is well after his tumble.

Form: 616-12F

Clondaw Bisto¹⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 112

9/2

Maiden hurdler, but won his only point-to-point and his handicap mark looks fair for this first run over fences. Might need this first run since April.

Form: 43643P-

Sideways⁶³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: R T Dunne| T: Christian Williams| OR: 110

16/1

Three fair runs over hurdles for David Dennis and starts out over fences for a new trainer. Has to overcome a lengthy absence, however, and may be sharper for the run.

Form: 61442/

The Two Amigos¹⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Matt Griffiths| T: Nicky Martin| OR: 109

5/2

Winner of six point-to-points for this trainer after joining the yard from David Pipe. Chasing debut and has been given a chance by the handicapper.

Form: 11111-R

Moving In Style¹⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: T Scudamore| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107WS

11/2

Well placed to win two handicap hurdles in the spring. Has won a point-to-point so should be able to cope with this first attempt over fences.

Form: 1/8P711-

Forecasts

The Two Amigos (5/2), The Flame (3/1), Hillary View (7/2), Ange Des Malberaux (4/1), Clondaw Bisto (9/2), Moving In Style (11/2), Heydour (8/1), Sideways (16/1)

The Two Amigos and Moving In Style are interesting at the foot of the weights, but both have to prove themselves over fences and face more experienced rivals in The Flame and HILARY VIEW. The latter, who fell last time, gets a narrow vote in receipt of weight. Others for whom cases can be made are the in-form Ange Des Malberaux and Heydour, who is bred to make a chaser.
