Mr Medic²⁷¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: James Best| T: R Walford| OR: 130| CD

9/2

Lightly raced since last success at Ascot (21f) in November 2018 but unable to match that performance, finding little when fifth at Kempton (20.5f) in January. Has gone well fresh previously at least.

Form: 66P/4P5-

Keep Moving³⁰⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 122| D

18/1

Quickly made amends for his C&D return spill when successful at Wincanton (20f) last November. Below par back here in December but he's not ruled out on return to action.

Form: 251/F15-

Celtic Joy²⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 120

4/1

Progressive over hurdles and took another step forward to make a winning chase debut at Kempton (18f) 12 months ago. Good second next time and better than his final effort suggests in February.

Form: 72/2126-

Night Of Sin²⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: Nick Williams| OR: 120| D

11/2

Did well over fences during 2018/19 campaign, winning 3 times at up to 20f. Ran up to best when second at Ludlow (20f) in January but well beaten back there the following month. Seasonal bow.

Form: 114/F25-

Pointed And Sharp^t⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 117| D

25/1

Completed hat-trick of chase victories at Taunton (2m) 12 months ago but below that level subsequently, including in 2 starts so far this term, folding tamely at Fontwell (19.5f) in August.

Form: 11U4-67

Ga Law²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: D A Jacob| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 128| D

11/8

Juvenile hurdle winner in France for Gabriel Leenders (sold for €100,000) who created a good impression switched to fences when making all in 3-runner Fontwell maiden (19.5f) on return. More to come.

Form: 16-1

Cosmic King^t1⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: C Brace⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110

12/1

Improved on hurdles form when making a winning chase debut at Huntingdon (16.5f) in early 2019. Struggled thereafter but hard to judge on belated return last month (unseated early).

Form: 0P1/P7-U

Forecasts

Ga Law (11/8), Celtic Joy (4/1), Solar Impulse (4/1), Mr Medic (9/2), Night Of Sin (11/2), Saintemilion (10/1), Cosmic King (12/1), Keep Moving (18/1), Pointed And Sharp (25/1)

Plenty of these hold few secrets from the assessor but that can't be said for GA LAW, who created a good impression when making a winning chase debut at Fontwell in September. Open to further progress now handicapping, he can make full use of his handy weight-for-age allowance and strike again. Celtic Joy on return and the in-form Solar Impulse are feared most.
