Scardura^t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Brendan Powell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 134| D

8/1

Hurdle winner who got off the mark over fences at Newton Abbot in September but was let down by his jumping at Cheltenham last time. Could get back on track with his sights lowered.

Form: 53-2U1U

Tamaroc Du Mathan^t²⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 131WS

5/4

Hurdles winner who didn't quite come up to expectations for his current yard last season but very much appeals as the type to do better now his attentions are turned to chasing. Considered.

Form: 1/2057-

Golden Taipan^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 130| D

14/1

Scored 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles and, after a low-key chasing debut, was bang in contention when coming down 2 out in a handicap at Ludlow in October. Solid claims from unchanged mark.

Form: 512P-4F

Getaway Fred²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R M Power| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 130| D

18/1

Winning pointer who made up into a fairly useful hurdler last term. Disappointing on chasing debut and trip is on the sharp side.

Form: 2132P-6

Goa Lil^h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: D A Jacob| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 134| D

11/2

Fairly useful hurdler who was likely to make a winning start had he not fallen at the last in a handicap at Ludlow on chasing debut. Up 5 lb but open to improvement, so warrants plenty of respect.

Form: 4140-3F

Sweet Adare^t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Best| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 124| D

14/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler last season and showed a bit of aptitude when fifth of 8 in a novice at Newton Abbot on her first crack at chasing. Open to improvement.

Form: 8/1172-5

Jaboticaba³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 124| D

9/1

Fairly useful chaser who made a winning return at Warwick but seemed undone by a rise when only fourth at Kempton next time. Looks vulnerable again.

Form: 2253-14

Prudhomme^t²⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: T Scudamore| T: Nick Williams| OR: 122| D

12/1

Progressive in bumpers and, though he went backwards after a winning start over hurdles, he's the type to make a chaser and may well have benefited from a 9-month break.

Form: 21/145P-

Shut The Box^p1⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan| T: C Gordon| OR: 114| D

10/1

Down in the weights and got back on track when second in handicap at Fontwell on return. This is a better race but can't be totally ruled out with cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: 35080-2

Forecasts

Tamaroc Du Mathan (5/4), Goa Lil (11/2), Editeur Du Gite (6/1), Scardura (8/1), Jaboticaba (9/1), Shut The Box (10/1), Prudhomme (12/1), Golden Taipan (14/1), Sweet Adare (14/1), Getaway Fred (18/1)

GOA LIL jumped with enthusiasm, had the race at his mercy when coming down at Ludlow on chasing debut and appeals as the sort to progress for a while in this sphere, so he's taken to gain compensation at the likely expense of Golden Taipan, who was also in the mix before falling last time. Scardura remains on a feasible mark and drops back in grade, so he's another one to consider.
