Prudhomme^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: Nick Williams| OR: 120

10/3

Bumper/hurdles winner who went wrong way in latter sphere last season. Some encouragement to glean from chase debut effort on return last month but he does need to be sharper in jumping department.

Form: 1/145P-6

Nightfly^p,t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 117| D

10/1

Three-time chase winner earlier in career who shaped better than bare result when third at Kempton (20.5f) on her latest start, albeit not seeing race out. Handicapper continues to relent.

Form: 05/6-5F3

Casa Tall²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T R George| OR: 116

3/1

Dual winner over hurdles in France who boasted a mixed record in that sphere for present stable. Derailed by an early error on belated return/chase in November and this should reveal more.

Form: 5204/5-6

Full Trottle^t³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr Zac Baker⁽³⁾| T: J Mason| OR: 113

8/1

Prolific winning hunter chaser who probably needed first start for 21 months when eighth of 10 at Wincanton (20f) last month. On a lenient mark on peak hunter form and this should reveal more.

Form: 24121/8

Oscar Wilde⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 110| BF| D

5/2

Winner at Sedgefield (19.3f) in January. Lightly raced since but went well for long way on each of his last 2 starts, folding late at aforementioned venue latest. Not one to write off.

Form: 215-953

Peur De Rien³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Brendan Powell| T: O Sherwood| OR: 107

13/2

Built for chasing and impressive when making a winning debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter (20f) in September. However, pulled up both starts since and he's not easy to predict.

Form: 48/9-1PP

Forecasts

Oscar Wilde (5/2), Casa Tall (3/1), Prudhomme (10/3), Peur De Rien (13/2), Full Trottle (8/1), Nightfly (10/1)

A tricky small-field affair to get a handle on but OSCAR WILDE was well backed and travelled well for a long way before folding over further at Sedgefield last month. He could be worth chancing to build on that given he remains lightly-raced in this sphere. Prudhomme, provided he jumps better, and Nightfly head up the dangers.
