Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Stan Sheppard| T: M Sheppard| OR: 105WS

9/1

Modest form at best over hurdles in Ireland for Arthur Moore but has won 3 times in points over here since. Check betting on this handicap chase debut after wind surgery. Hood also on first time.

Form: 211U-14

Postman¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 104

7/2

Fair Flat winner who opened account over hurdles at Newton Abbot in 2019. Showed he retains ability back from absence when third in 2m Leicester handicap chase last month but not in same form since.

Form: F1-7735

Kap Auteuil²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes| OR: 102

13/8

Left first 2 chase efforts well behind when runner-up at Plumpton (17f) last month. Sure to be thereabouts if in similar form.

Form: 5-974P2

Motaraabet^v⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: L Morgan| OR: 95

4/1

Fair maiden on Flat who made encouraging start over fences when fifth in 17f Kelso handicap. Not disgraced only run since when fifth in Lingfield bumper so well worth considering back chasing now.

Form: 4-63P55

Khanisari^v1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 79

17/2

Best effort yet when second in first-time cheekpieces in 2m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in October but well held since, including over fences last twice. First-time visor needs to make difference.

Form: 0-52897

Cagliostro³⁴¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller| T: A Irvine| OR: 77

20/1

Placed twice in handicap chases last season so could have a say if primed for this return. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Hinted at ability in bumpers but no real impact over hurdles, nor 2 starts over fences this winter. 2 lb out of handicap.

Form: 7P/P-686

Forecasts

Kap Auteuil (13/8), Postman (7/2), Motaraabet (4/1), Khanisari (17/2), Organised Solution (9/1), Amethea (16/1), Cagliostro (20/1)

MOTARAABET shaped quite well when bang there for a long way on his Kelso chase debut in the autumn. Laura Morgan's charge ought to be sharper for a run in a jumpers bumper last month and can prove too strong for recent Plumpton runner-up Kap Auteuil. Postman may prove best of the rest.
