Off time: 17:15 | Winning time: 3m 51.7s

The Cannister Man^h⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Harrison Beswick⁽³⁾| T: S Thomas| OR: 122

9/2

Improving performer who came good at Exeter (2m1f, heavy) last April in a maiden. Entitled to have needed the run on handicap bow at Leicester in December. Would prefer some rain.

Form: FP421-6

Grand Inquisitor^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Edward Austin⁽⁶⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 121

7/2

Useful flat performer that was rated in the 90's at one point. Showed ability so far over hurdles and makes handicap debut off what looks a fair mark with riders claim an added bonus. Player.

Form: 47-23

Hijran³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Mr Jason Dixon⁽⁶⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 121| D

4/1

Mare on the upgrade having won twice so far this winter off marks of 109 and 114. Up another 7lb for a cosy success at Kempton last time but does like to get her toe in so any rain would be a big bonus.

Form: 21-4171

Le Ligerien^h⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 118

3/1

Strong traveller who has shown a good level of ability so far. Comfortably finished in front of Grand Inquisitor here last week and has sound claims of doing so once more off these revised terms.

Form: 743422

Kings Inn^p1⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 111

8/1

Lightly raced over hurdles and shaped well at Doncaster on handicap debut two starts back. Not at his best back in maiden company at Fakenham last time but early days and further improvement likely with cheekpieces added.

Form: 3-4625

Edabean^p⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Jordan Nailor⁽³⁾| T: G R I Smyly| OR: 107

33/1

Hasn't shown much in her first three hurdles runs, but her latest effort when 100-1 in a C&D event was a step in the right direction. More needed on handicap debut but early days.

Form: PUP665

Teaser^p,t⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Kieron Edgar| T: D Pipe| OR: 113| DWS

6/1

Won on second start for this yard at Warwick in December. Well held on handicap debut at Doncaster last time and needs to improve on that to be winning here. Has had wind surgery since last run.

Form: 218

Forecasts

Le Ligerien (3/1), Grand Inquisitor (7/2), Hijran (4/1), The Cannister Man (9/2), Teaser (6/1), Kings Inn (8/1), Edabean (33/1)

Strictly at the weights LE LIGERIEN has sound claims of beating Grand Inquisitor once again here after their clash last week. Hijran is on the upgrade and should give them both something to think about.
