11/4

Improved on his handicap debut effort in October when finishing 9½L fifth at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) last month. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and a hood (first time) is added to the tongue tie worn for the first time on that occasion.

12/1

Returned from a short break with a 7L victory in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter (soft) in October. Beaten 20L over the same C&D subsequently and races off a mark 6lb higher than for that latest success.

Potters Corner¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁷⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 129| C

11/1

Winner of a valuable 4m2f handicap chase at Uttoxeter (heavy) in March. Held in three subsequent starts and is probably best watched having finished well held in a handicap hurdle over an extended 3m at Haydock (good-to-soft) a fortnight ago.

20/1

C&D winner was beaten 13L when finishing third in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (soft) in October. Pulled up over the cross country course at Cheltenham subsequently and return to hurdles is a positive.

Juge Et Parti¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽³⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 124

11/4

Successful on both starts since joining this start including by ¾L over an extended 2m4f at Plumpton (soft) last month. Useful amateur jockey keeps the ride and he is interesting stepping up in distance despite a 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 2433-11

Adimelo¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Isabel Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs M Evans| OR: 122

50/1

Faller over fences on debut for this yard and finished a well held sixth back over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m6f, soft) subsequently. Others make more appeal at present.

Muffins For Tea^t⁶²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 120| BF

20/1

Winner of a 2m7f novices' handicap chase at Taunton (soft) in February last year. Placed twice over fences subsequently and he is of interest on his return to action following over 18 months off the track.

Accordingtogino¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Conor Shoemark| T: D Skelton| OR: 119| D

5/1

Placed on both handicap starts over this C&D including when beaten 1½L on soft ground last month. Raised 2lb for that success and is a leading contender for a top stable.

Form: 1/253-32

Montanna²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: G Sheehan| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 118

10/1

Returning from 11 months off the track when finishing 4½L third in a 3m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (soft) last month. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is absent for this contest.

Form: 1158-3

Supreme Escape²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: P J Brennan| T: Evan Williams| OR: 106| D

8/1

Point-to-point winner on good ground in April but failed to back up a promising 25L third in a maiden hurdle on Rules debut at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) in October when a well held fourth last time out. Market support would be notable on handicap debut.

Form: 41-34

Forecasts

Remastered (11/4), Juge Et Parti (11/4), Perfect Man (4/1), Accordingtogino (5/1), Supreme Escape (8/1), Montanna (10/1), Potters Corner (11/1), Final Choice (12/1), Muffins For Tea (20/1), Solstice Star (20/1), Adimelo (50/1)

JUGE ET PARTI can maintain his unbeaten record since joining this stable by registering a victory in this staying handicap hurdle. The selection looks capable of taking this with Perfect Man, a winner on seasonal debut last time out capable of claiming second spot ahead of Accordingtogino who receives weight from most of his rivals ran well when placed here last time.
