10/1
Dual winner at Wetherby in November, but went up in the weights and distance when well held at Southwell earlier this month. Bit to prove off the same mark, but return to a sounder surface is a plus.

5/2
C&D winner who has struggled in both starts over fences. No surprise to see him back over timber off a workable mark.
3
Horse silk

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: Charlie Price(7)| T: Tim Vaughan| OR:  135
11/1
Scored over 2m5f at Warwick in October, but went up 8lb to this mark and was unable to land a serious blow at Cheltenham. Needs more stepped up in trip.

Ballyboker Breeze62
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-10| J: Danny McMenamin(7)| T: N G Richards| OR:  134| D
5/1
Approaching the veteran stage and has failed to get round on his last two starts over fences. Reverts to hurdling with something to prove.

Commodore Barryt25
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR:  132| D
9/4
Well placed to win three of his five starts over hurdles this year, latterly in novice company at Southwell. Sound chance back in a handicap.

Horse silk
Graceful Legendb116
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-6| J: Max Kendrick(5)| T: B I Case| OR:  130| C
11/1
Winner of five races over hurdles, but has not been at her best in three attempts at jumping fences this season. Back over timber in first-time blinkers with handicap mark a fair one.
7
Horse silk
Blue Rambler17
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-1| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR:  125| BF
11/1
Not at bis best on the Flat this year, but has untapped potential over hurdles. Shrewd stable adept with its handicap hurdlers and this one needs to be checked out in the betting.
8
Horse silk
Tara View47
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-13| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR:  123
16/1
Promising sort a couple of seasons ago, but has been lightly raced since and has clearly had her problems. Latest comeback run at Kempton was disappointing.

Forecasts

Commodore Barry (9/4), Enniscoffey Oscar (5/2), Ballyboker Breeze (5/1), Wemyss Point (10/1), Blue Rambler (11/1), Graceful Legend (11/1), Canton Prince (11/1), Tara View (16/1)

Verdict

Wemyss Point and Enniscoffey Oscar are respected despite their welter burdens, Commordore Barry is feared returned to handicap company and Blue Rambler needs checking out for market support. However, the selection is GRACEFUL LEGEND, who will be happier back over hurdles after an unsuccessful stint over fences. She is nicely treated and first-time blinkers may help
  1. Graceful Legend
  2. Commodore Barry
  3. Blue Rambler
