Age: 11| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 114| C

25/1

Hacked up in a 2m4f novices' handicap chase at Carlisle (heavy) in April 2018 and was hit hard by the handicapper afterwards; well beaten and mistakes on latest appearance when pulling up at Lingfield; cheekpieces go on for the first time.

Form: 21/10-4P

Manofthemoment²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 113

9/4

Dual winning hurdler at up to 2m4f earlier in the year who has shown an aptitude for chasing since returning to action; gamely won last time out at Warwick over a similar trip; possibly more to come and genuine contender.

Form: 11-U631

Enrichissant^p1⁸³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 110WS

9/1

Winner of a 2m3½f Huntingdon novice hurdle on good ground and won't want the ground too testing; tailed off on recent chase debut in November; others preferred although worth noting he's had a breathing operation since last seen.

Form: 9/5310-7

Mine's A Pint^h,t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 109

9/1

Fair 17L eighth in a handicap chase over an extended 2m when making his seasonal debut at Newbury (soft) at the end of last month; has winning form so worth a check in the market.

Form: 95132-8

Oscar Wilde³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 109

11/8

From a good family who showed some ability of hurdles last season; decent performance on only third chase start at Market Rasen last month; entitled to improve and worthy of closer examination.

Form: 33-73F2

Ringaringarosie¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁵⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 106| CD

5/1

Thriving currently in this sphere, building on earlier promise when scoring over course and distance in October, and following up despite drop to 2m on penultimate start; front runner.

Form: 622113

Forecasts

Oscar Wilde (11/8), Manofthemoment (9/4), Ringaringarosie (5/1), Enrichissant (9/1), Mine's A Pint (9/1), Skipping On (25/1)

OSCAR WILDE showed plenty of promise on only his third chase outing at Market Rasen to be considered as the selection in this interesting contest. The six-year-old needs to improve his jumping but if doing so he has an excellent chance for his in-form trainer. Ringaringarosie arguably put up a better effort in defeat last time out when failing to land a hat-trick: She is certainly going in the right direction and loves it around this track. Manofthemoment is another chaser on the upgrade and if progressing again should go well.
