6/5

Dual hurdle winner here over 20.5f in the mud last term. Lost unbeaten record when third on 2m course chase bow last month but he can be expected to build on that, particularly now back up in trip.

Form: 1/11-3

Port Of Mars^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 131

5/2

Chepstow maiden hurdle winner on heavy last season. Off 10 months, shaped as if better for run when third of 5 on Bangor chase debut 16 days ago. Likely to progress.

Form: 1/213-3

Rajapur^p,t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: Stef Keniry

150/1

Tailed off in handicap hurdle at Kelso and a low-grade Flat handicap at Southwell since joining this yard. Big outsider now chasing.

Form: 54P/PP-0

Seemorelights³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 125

2/1

Fairly useful hurdler at up to 3m who returned from a lengthy absence to make a good start to his chase career when second in 2m handicap here 33 days ago. More to come now stepping back up in trip.

Form: 334F6/2

Forecasts

Marown (6/5), Seemorelights (2/1), Port Of Mars (5/2), Rajapur (150/1)

There's little to separate MAROWN, Seemorelights and Port of Mars who are all open to improvement on the back of encouraging chase debuts last month. The first-named gets a narrow vote now stepping back up to the same trip as when winning twice over hurdles here last season.
