Capitalised on reduced mark when landing a C&D handicap chase in December 2019. Well beaten next 2 starts under Rules and best watched starting out for new yard/on back of 12 months off.
|
Modest handicap chase winner (at 23.4f) who ended last season below par, turning in a lacklustre display at Sedgefield (26.2f) 12 months ago. Well held in points in December and others preferred.
|
Has a patchy profile under Rules and hard to glean much encouragement from his midfield effort at Ludlow (23.8f) last month, struggling some way out. Cheekpieces fitted again.
|
Regressive under Rules for Tom Symonds and has failed to complete in 3 goes between the flags. Yard hold much stronger claims with Wishing And Hoping.
|
Demonstrated fairly useful form when landing a couple of hunters in 2018. Multiple winner between the Flags and not disgraced when fifth in a Hexham handicap (31.9f) in November. Each-way claims.
|
Won 3 small-field handicaps over fences during 2018. Not disgraced when third in a Perth hunter (23.8f) for present stable but that came back in spring 2019 and subsequent absence not ideal.
|
One-time smart chaser for Willie Mullins who has proven prolific in points, landing a small-field affair last spring. Now firmly into veteran stage but another holding each-way claims.
|
Useful hurdler at his best but became temperamental and well beaten all 3 starts upon joining Charlie Longsdon last winter. Hard to know what to expect for new yard making debut in this discipline.
|
Multiple hurdles/chase winner who is winless between the Flags, well held in third for present stable in December. Best watched now.
|
Brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Kerrow (23f-25f winner). Multiple winner himself in points, runner-up last time (Apr 2019) but he's yet another with a lengthy absence to overcome.
|
One-time fair hurdler for Graeme McPherson who has won several times between the flags but was well held on his latest outing over a year ago.

WISHING AND HOPING was 2-3 in this sphere last season and, arriving on the back of a solid second when last seen between the flags, he's fancied to continue the good work back in this discipline in a race where most have something to prove. Duhallow Tornado and Haymount are a couple of others to consider.
