Cabot Cliffs^h⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125| D

4/1

Gently progressive on the Flat and made a winning hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m) in October. Has had his limitations exposed in stronger company since but this is more suitable.

Form: 134

Goodbye Stranger^h⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: D A Jacob| T: N J Henderson| D

2/1

Kapgarde gelding. Dam lightly raced over hurdles, 9.5f/1¼m winner on Flat. Overcame inexperience to make a successful hurdling bow in a hood in 11-runner Newbury juvenile 49 days ago. Sure to improve.

Form: 1

Sage Advice²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| D

1/1

Fairly useful Flat winner In Ireland who looked a useful recruit to hurdles when making a successful start for new yard in Kempton juvenile 25 days ago. Sure to improve and leading claims.

Form: 1

Admiral Balko^t⁸⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Chester Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs J Williams

12/1

Balko gelding. Dam fairly useful winning hurder/chaser. Showed plenty when second of 6 in a juvenile hurdle at Bangor (16.7f) on debut in November and is a likely improver.

Form: 2

Alberic^p⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: David Noonan| T: Nick Williams

200/1

No promise either start over hurdles.

Form: P6

Balzac²¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

33/1

Had wind op before winning 10f Newbury novice on second Flat start for Ed Walker (refused to enter stalls twice after). Interesting hurdling newcomer for good yard so worth monitoring in the betting.

Form:

Caldwell³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: T Scudamore| T: M Scudamore

25/1

Placed on 2 of his 3 starts in maidens at up to 1½m on the Flat for Dermot Weld. Bred for this game and shaped with some encouragement when a well-held second at Wetherby 38 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 2

Yorkshire Gold²⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny Burton⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans

250/1

Debut winner on Flat (6f) for Kevin Ryan in July 2019 but regressive in 3 starts since on the level, so something to prove now going hurdling for new yard.

Form:

Kimberley^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Alan Johns| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

250/1

Fair maiden on the Flat for James Fanshawe but well held both starts over hurdles (juvenile/novice).

Form: 59

Forecasts

Sage Advice (1/1), Goodbye Stranger (2/1), Cabot Cliffs (4/1), Admiral Balko (12/1), Caldwell (25/1), Balzac (33/1), Alberic (200/1), Kimberley (250/1), Yorkshire Gold (250/1)

GOODBYE STRANGER and Sage Advice both created good impressions on their respective hurdling debuts, but the former is potentially open to more improvement, so he edges the vote. Of the rest, Balzac is an interesting newcomer to this sphere who requires a close look in the betting.
