12/1

£70,000 buy on the back of success in points and shaped like a stayer in the making in a pair of hurdle starts last winter. However, stopped quickly on return last month and work to do off this mark.

Form: 2/3185-0

Numitor²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: H Main| OR: 112

Winning pointer who ran his best race under Rules when runner-up in handicap here (19.7f) 3 weeks ago and this slightly longer trip should suit.

13/2

Echo Du Large²⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: T J O'Brien| T: R Stephens| OR: 109

Mick Mona^h,t²⁰

5/1

Has shown a fair level of ability in this sphere, not least when runner-up here (2m) on his return 3 weeks ago. Step up in trip not sure to suit back in a handicap given her free-going ways.

Form: 03/554-2

Lough Ryn^t⁶¹⁶

Forecasts

Mustang Alpha (10/3), Mick Mona (5/1), Getaway Mag (11/2), Adjourned (13/2), Wasdell Dundalk (7/1), Numitor (8/1), Premiumaccess (12/1), Lough Ryn (16/1), Echo Du Large (20/1), K'chou Du Pecos Aa (25/1), Arcade Attraction (28/1), Arctic Footprint (50/1)

LOUGH RYN has been off the track for a long time but has been given a big chance by the handicapper so could be worth chancing. Mustang Alpha quickly got back on track when a good second here 3 weeks ago and is another to consider, while Wasdell Dundalk found 25f too far at Huntingdon and remains with potential.
