2/1

Had missed 600 days prior to pair of excellent hurdles efforts at Hexham and Ayr this winter, dotted up in 2m6½f Mares' Chase around Uttoxeter nine days ago and respected again despite a 12lb ratings rise.

Form: 110/221

Longhousesignora^b¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 117| D

7/2

Off the mark at fifth attempt over fences when scoring with a degree of ease at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December. 11lb higher now and has twice been beaten over hurdles since (fell latest). Not one to cross off in haste.

Form: 35419F

Skewiff¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 112

5/1

Returned to action with Fontwell hurdles win in September and has generally been in good form since in three starts in both codes; on a fair mark but might just want a bit further to be at her best.

Form: 5F-1454

Hidden Dilemma^p1³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: J J Slevin| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 110| C

7/1

Twice a hurdles winner here in 2018 over 2m1f/2m4f but both runs over fences uninspiring and pulled up last time back over hurdles. Cheekpieces on first-time and handicapper has offered a chance.

Form: 79P-30P

Talkofgold^p³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny Cook| T: M Todhunter| OR: 108| D

3/1

Off the mark over fences at Hexham in December, working hard throughout the race to score; has since run another fine race upped in distance at Kelso in second spot. Raised 3lb and remains in the mix.

HAUL US IN is making up for lost time after missing the thick end of two years. She had twice gone close at Hexham and Ayr before easily scoring at Uttoxeter nine days ago. The handicapper has reacted according and this 12lb higher mark asks a question but she had any amount in hand there and could double her tally. Longhousesignora hasn't really sparked in two hurdles runs since a decisive Hereford chase win in December but could bounce back returned to this sphere while Talkofgold is right in the mix along with Holly Flight who is now back in a handicap after some tough asks in Listed company.
