Tel'art^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: K Brogan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 120

8/1

Improved model this summer, scoring twice at up to 2¾m. Put in a good shift when sixth in a big-field Cheltenham handicap (21f) recently and solid each-way chance off 1 lb lower here.

Form: 1213P6

The Domino Effect³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 120

7/2

Signed off last season with a creditable effort at this course, and bettered that when third in a 21f novice on return back here in October. Improvement likely now upped in trip for this handicap bow.

Form: 4/673-3

Supakalanistic⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr Zac Baker⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 119| D

14/1

Bagged a Market Rasen handicap hurdle last term and proved his wellbeing when making a winning debut on the Flat at Chepstow in September. Still, needs to raise his game in order to take this.

Form: 47P517-

Dinos Benefit^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 118| D

18/1

Struggled last season and beaten a fair way on return/debut for new yard at Lingfield in October.

Form: 48078-6

Morning Spirit²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 117

5/2

Shaped better than bare result on return at Bangor. Duly stepped up on that when third of 13 upped to 19.6f there last time and claims if coping with this stiffer test.

Form: 7527-43

Distingo^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 116| C

28/1

More miss than hit since landing a 2m novice here in March 2018, offering little in 2 starts so far this season. Cheekpieces refitted.

Form: F/650-P7

Crystal Gazing^t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 115

14/1

Fair bumper winner who posted her best effort yet in this sphere when second in a 21.2f Ludlow novice last month. In good hands and could have a part to play upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 147-542

Muthabir^b1²⁹³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 115| CD

50/1

Good third in this race off the same mark 12 months ago. Well held both subsequent starts, but each-way chance if again fully-tuned up for his seasonal reappearance with blinkers enlisted.

Form: 56/9359-

Viva Vittoria²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Lee Cosgrove⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 114

14/1

Creditable fifth of 14 at Warwick (21f) on reappearance last month. However, failed to build on that next time and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in The Domino Effect.

Form: 2/8P5-57

Board Of Trade³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 114

14/1

Gone a while since he gained his sole win over hurdles, but shaped with encouragement when fifth off this reduced mark on return at Lingfield (23f). Not discounted.

Form: 43/326-5

Ratfacemcdougall^t,v¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Max Kendrick⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 110| D

4/1

Back on-song with visor enlisted the last twice, runner-up at Hereford prior to going one better in decisive fashion at Musselburgh (23.8f). 8 lb rise tolerable and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 54-7521

Forecasts

Morning Spirit (5/2), The Domino Effect (7/2), Ratfacemcdougall (4/1), Tel'art (8/1), Supakalanistic (14/1), Viva Vittoria (14/1), Crystal Gazing (14/1), Board Of Trade (14/1), Dinos Benefit (18/1), Distingo (28/1), Muthabir (50/1)

It's likely that THE DOMINO EFFECT will come into his own over fences in due course, but there are certainly races to be won with him in this sphere judged on his reappearance effort at this course last month. The 6-y-o has been handed what looks a fair opening mark and should relish this stiffer test. Ratfacemcdougall has to be feared in current form and Morning Spirit also enters calculations.
