Goldencard²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Tudor⁽⁵⁾| T: Christian Williams| OR: 98| D

11/1

Dual hurdles winner who was placed on first 2 starts in this sphere for Keith Dalgleish last season. Yet to fire for present yard, though, and needs to bounce back.

Form: 0P4904

Flight To Milan^p²⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 96

11/1

Went close off 6 lb higher mark at Leicester last December, but has typically failed to back that up since and record under Rules stands at 0-20.

Getawaytonewbay^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 94

15/2

Successful twice between the flags and confirmed promise of chase debut when scoring at Stratford in August. Latest effort can be excused and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 5-31638

Wisecracker^t⁴²

4/1

Sole career win from 29 starts came in this race 12 months ago. 8 lb higher this time round, but has undergone wind surgery following a respectable effort at Warwick last time and he merits respect.

Form: 223U24

Midnight Jitterbug²³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: M R Bosley| OR: 82

18/1

By no means disgraced in handicap hurdles at Huntingdon on final 2 starts. However, 0-18 overall and fell at the third fence on sole previous start over fences at Southwell last October.

Form: 3/0F543-

Princess Midnight^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 77

11/2

Poor maiden hurdler, but has performed with credit switched to fences the last twice, latterly beaten 3 lengths into third behind Dollar And A Dream at Wincanton. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 9375/43

Dragon Khan^t⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Mrs R Gasson| OR: 76| D

17/2

Opened chase account at Bangor (17.4f) last summer and by no means disgraced when runner-up over that C&D 6 days ago. Certainly not without hope in an open-looking race.

Form: 7-44B72

Beet Topper²⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 76

5/2

Modest hurdler at best and offered little in 4 runs over fences last season. Has joined a respected yard, but he'll only be of interest here if the market vibes are notably upbeat.

Form: 0P/FP5R-

Hume Lough¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: S-J Davies| OR: 71

10/1

Poor maiden who struggled badly last season and, though not entirely disgraced on return at Ffos Las, others make more appeal.

Form: 56P5F-4

Forecasts

Beet Topper (5/2), Wisecracker (4/1), Dollar And A Dream (4/1), Hold Me Tight (5/1), Princess Midnight (11/2), Getawaytonewbay (15/2), Dragon Khan (17/2), Hume Lough (10/1), Flight To Milan (11/1), Goldencard (11/1), All Kings (12/1), Midnight Jitterbug (18/1), Centreofexcellence (20/1), Robin Des People (33/1)

It may be worth siding with PRINCESS MIDNIGHT, who would've surely gone close but for clouting the final 2 fences when third behind Dollar And A Dream and Hold Me Tight at Wincanton. That was just her second start over fences and she is appealing off the same mark with Robbie Power taking over. Last year's winner Wisecracker and Getawaytonewbay rate the main dangers.
