Brotherly Company^p¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| CD

11/10

Consistent sort who gained a deserved second win of the season over fences last month. Made the most of a good opportunity when following up in one of these over C&D 12 days ago.

Form: 224211

Aptly Put¹¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: James MoffattWS

20/1

Plenty of good runs over hurdles but failed to strike. Heavy defeat over fences when last seen in October and given he races over 3m these days, he may not have the pace for this. Has had a wind op.

Form: 209-459

Armattiekan^b⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr

6/1

Fair chaser, successful twice this season before Brotherly Company got his revenge at Musselburgh last time.

Form: 431213

Cybalko^t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| D

6/1

Ended 2020 in superb style over fences at Sedgefield, winning 3 times. Has the pace for a race like this so has to be taken seriously.

Form: 431131

Derrick D'Anjou^b¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Bedi

7/1

Modest staying jumper who shaped as though in reasonable heart and probably exceeded expectations when third in a jumpers bumper over C&D 12 days ago.

Form: 6-442U3

Flaming Glory⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: K Scott

40/1

Still a maiden over jumps and unlikely to be good/quick enough to land one of these.

Form: 463-382

Nortonthorpelegend⁵⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Midgley⁽¹⁰⁾| T: R Menzies| BF

20/1

Good strike rate over fences and arrives here in good heart, but he's a stayer in the NH game and this test of speed may not be up his street.

Form: 14-4433

Sporting Press¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Paula Smith| D

50/1

Fair bumper/chase winner for Keith Dalgleish but yet to show anything for current yard, including on one of these 12 days ago.

Form: B-4P545

Vino's Choice^t⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Blair Campbell⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| D

10/1

Gained a first victory over obstacles in 13-runner chase in November, but found his good run coming to a halt back over hurdles last time. Did win a bumper early in his career.

Form: 2-24218

Wor Verge^t⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| D

14/1

2m hurdle winner (heavy) over a year ago. Solid start to chase career to end 2020 and he's usually campaigned around 2m.

Form: 202-543

Forecasts

Brotherly Company (11/10), Armattiekan (6/1), Cybalko (6/1), Derrick D'Anjou (7/1), Vino's Choice (10/1), Wor Verge (14/1), Nortonthorpelegend (20/1), Aptly Put (20/1), Flaming Glory (40/1), Sporting Press (50/1)

CYBALKO ended 2020 in top form over fences and he possesses the speed to cope with a race like this, so he could be the way to go. Brotherly Company and Armattiekan clashed a couple of times over the larger obstacles during the winter and are obvious threats, while Vino's Choice may be worth a second look given he won a bumper early in his career.
