Earth Leader^h,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: S Bowen| T: H Fry| OR: 115| BF| D

11/2

Prolific in points and 2-3 in hunters last term. Proved easy to back and ultimately well held having done too much early on at Taunton for new yard last month. Still, he remains less exposed than most

Form: 11112-5

Master Vintage^t³⁶⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 11-10| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 113| BF| D

33/1

Veteran who proved better than ever when landing back-to-back handicap chases at up to 19.8f last winter. Unable to dominate and not in same form at Fakenham final start and more needed on return.

Form: 7P/5114-

Lots Of Luck^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 112

4/1

Much-improved model for the switch to chasing this year, adding a third success to his tally at Ffos Las (2m) in October (on back of wind op). Good second behind fellow improver since. Not discounted

Form: 3121-12

Bridle Loanan³¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 111

16/1

Winning pointer who upped his game markedly to make a successful handicap debut on just his second chase outing at Lingfield (2m) in January. Highly likely there is more to come this term.

Form: 4/05651-

Native Robin²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 111| CD

17/2

Ended last term with win in 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, heavy). Likely return run was needed at that venue in October and he's one to consider for each-way purposes.

Form: 55331-6

Flagrant Delitiep²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Cobden| T: R Walford| OR: 110

9/2

Maiden who displayed better signs in handicaps over hurdles earlier this year. Looked tapped for speed on return/chase debut over C&D though, and best efforts have come on testing ground.

Form: 59322-4

Twasn't The Plan^h³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 109| BF

9/1

Hit the frame on numerous occasions over fences, including when runner-up on return at Southwell (20.4f) in August. Similar form when third at Exeter since but he's become expensive to follow.

Form: 6466-23

Furiously Fast³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: D Burchell| OR: 109

13/2

Fair hurdles winner who was given a considerate chase introduction when seventh of 7 at Newton Abbot (16.3f) last month. Feasible to think he can do better in this sphere and betting should guide.

Form: 2155/5-7

Commandant^v¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Brendan Powell| T: C Gordon| OR: 106

9/1

Dual chase winner in Ireland who boasts a mixed record for present stable. However, better display from sliding mark when third over hurdles at Plumpton (20.5f) latest. Now he needs to build on that.

Form: 805-9P3

Legend Of Zorro^t²⁹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 98| C

14/1

Irish point winner who landed gamble from reduced mark at Wincanton (25.1f, good to soft) in November. Not in same form up 5 lb/faced with testing ground at Chepstow latest but not one to write off.

Form: 95/0416-

Un Beau Roman^b¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-0| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Henderson| OR: 89| D

16/1

Ended losing run stretching back almost 4 years at Plumpton (19.7f) at the start of the month, landing a weak race. 3 lb higher in a stronger affair now.

Form: 64-3881

Forecasts

Lots Of Luck (4/1), Flagrant Delitiep (9/2), Earth Leader (11/2), Furiously Fast (13/2), Native Robin (17/2), Commandant (9/1), Twasn't The Plan (9/1), Magic River (10/1), Legend Of Zorro (14/1), Bridle Loanan (16/1), Un Beau Roman (16/1), Master Vintage (33/1)

EARTH LEADER was guilty of doing far too much early on and ultimately ran out of steam when fifth on return/yard debut at Taunton last month. A prolific pointer/dual hunter winner, he remains the type to make his mark in handicaps and earns the vote dropping back in trip. Lots of Luck is going well over fences, and along with Bridle Loanan, heads up the dangers.
