Event Of Sivolap13
Age: 7|  Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Williamson(7)| T: M Walford| OR:  102
Ex-French winning chaser who arrives in excellent form over fences for current yard, clear second over C&D in December. Fell early at Ayr recently but very much remains of interest.

Square Viviani381
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-12| J: Billy Garritty(3)| T: Micky Hammond| OR:  100
Scored twice last season, including at Market Rasen on his final outing, but defying another rise on the back of a 12-month absence could prove a bit too much.

Paddys Runnerp59
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: Christian Williams| OR:  97
Somewhat underwhelming since switched to chasing and looked none too keen at Wincanton on latest outing. Others make more appeal.

According To Alex22
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: H D Daly| OR:  96
Lightly-raced hurdler who showed some ability last season but he's not kicked on this time around, disappointing when pulled up on chase debut at Wincanton (25f) 22 days ago.

Missed nearly all of 2020, but stepped up on comeback run when third over C&D last month. Becoming well treated but he often looks hard work.

The Ogle Gogle Manp,t13
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-5| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR:  93
Went the wrong way over fences for Charlie Mann but arrives on the back of a positive start for his new stable in a handicap hurdle at Ayr. Not dismissed returning to this discipline.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  92| BF
Scored over hurdles last term and improved to make winning debut over fences at Lingfield in November. Underperformed next time but better expected here in cheekpieces.

Purcell's Bridge323
Age: 14|  Weight: 11-4| J: Lorcan Murtagh(3)| T: R Dobbin| OR:  92| D
Veteran who was out of sorts throughout last season and makes little appeal returning from 10 months off.

King Of Fashionp,t41
Age: 11|  Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: I A Duncan| OR:  90
Modest 23f winner over hurdles but has failed to convince with his jumping over fences this season.

Newlands Crossb174
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-1| J: Jack Tudor(3)| T: Christian Williams| OR:  89
Maiden under Rules who ran a moody race back from a long lay-off at this course on debut for new yard in November. Could build on that with cheekpieces refitted.

Age: 12|  Weight: 11-0| J: William Shanahan(7)| T: G Hanmer| OR:  88
Modest chaser who returned to form from a reduced mark when second at Southwell on reappearance. Underlined inconsistency at Bangor next time, though, and not seen for 123 days.

Arqalina50
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-13| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR:  87
Hurdles/chase winner who hasn't kicked on from her return effort at Uttoxeter in 2 subsequent starts, running poorly in first-time cheekpieces over 25f at Hereford last month.

Newberry Newp18
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Bannister| T: W Bethell| OR:  87
Out of sorts for a long time but did show a glimmer of a revival when fourth at Leicester 18 days ago. Could compete if able to build on that.

Timely Giftt44
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-13| J: Alan Johns| T: Tim Vaughan| OR:  87| D
Ended 2019 with 2 handicap hurdle wins around 3m and, though beaten a long way, did enough to think he'll be at least as good over fences at Uttoxeter last time. Respected.

Smuggler's Stashv34

Temperamental chaser who has been out of sorts this term. Hard to fancy.

Mount Oliverp18
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-6| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR:  80
Erratic jumper for Neil Muholland but first outing for new stable (third at Leicester) wasn't devoid of encouragement. On a fair mark if he can build on it.

Fair staying chaser when in the mood but yet to hit top form this season. Is at least becoming well handicapped.

Forecasts

Hang Tough (9/2), Square Viviani (6/1), Event Of Sivola (7/1), Mount Oliver (10/1), Arqalina (12/1), Timely Gift (12/1), The Ogle Gogle Man (12/1), Paddys Runner (14/1), Newberry New (14/1), Iskabeg Lane (14/1), Smuggler's Stash (16/1), Packettotherafters (16/1), Spirit Of Hale (16/1), According To Alex (16/1), Newlands Cross (16/1), King Of Fashion (25/1), Purcell's Bridge (25/1)

Verdict

EVENT OF SIVOLA bumped into a thriving rival when runner-up over C&D on his penultimate outing and is worth another chance to go one better having come down at Ayr last time. Hang Tough is liable to pose a threat if back on his game after a break, while Mount Oliver shouldn't be dismissed having made a positive start for his new stable.
