A winner over hurdles for Paul Nicholls but looked tricky at times and cemented that impression when running out 3 out in handicap at Perth on yard debut 26 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Clear signs of ability in novice hurdles. Handed a stiff opening mark and failed to complete (held when fell 2 out) at Southwell last month but should strip fitter for the outing.

Showed benefit of his reappearance to capitalise on a falling mark in 11-runner contest at Southwell (20.4f) 12 days ago, travelling smoothly and keeping on well. Remains well treated on old form.

Opened her account over C&D a year ago but hasn't returned in much form this season, looking none too keen at Cartmel last time. In another change of headgear.

Winning pointer with a respectable pedigree but didn't shape as if on a good mark in handicaps towards the end of 2019. Step up in trip and first-time tongue tie needs to bring about improvement.

Showed improved form to double her tally after 7 months off at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 24 days ago, looking well suited by emphasis on speed at the trip. Nudged up 4 lb but should remain competitive.

Proved too free on first outing for Fergal O'Brien when fourth at Hexham in November, but is down to a handy mark, so is certainly not one to write off returning from another break (had wind op).

Well held in 3 starts last year, but she looked an entirely different proposition when making a winning handicap bow over C&D on return, forging clear. Type to go on progressing now up and running.

In frame twice in bumpers but no promise over hurdles, jumping poorly in a first-time tongue strap on Southwell handicap debut 4 weeks ago. Blinkers now tried.

Modest in bumpers but little form of worth over hurdles, failing to improve after 4 months off here 20 days ago.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2016, but was placed on a couple of occasions in 2019 and probably needed the run after 9 months off at Southwell 17 days ago.

Showed a bit in a bumper but well held in a trio of novice hurdles. Tongue tie on for handicap debut and improvement needed.

Forecasts

Millie Of Mayo (2/1), Christopher Robin (11/4), Highate Hill (7/2), Triopas (7/1), Viking Ruby (12/1), Mead Vale (12/1), Forchena (20/1), Get An Oscar (25/1), Southfield Torr (33/1), Kymata (50/1), Crakehall Lad (50/1), A New Siege (80/1), Inexorable (100/1)

Verdict

CHRISTOPHER ROBIN had a bit in hand when capitalising on a falling mark at Southwell 12 days ago, and is still well treated on old form, so he looks capable of following up. Millie of Mayo is the type to go on progressing now she's up and running, so she’s an obvious threat, while the well handicapped Triopas requires a close look in the betting returning after wind surgery.

  1. CHRISTOPHER ROBIN (IRE)
  2. MILLIE OF MAYO
  3. TRIOPAS (IRE)
