Off time: 16:27 | Winning time: 6m 44.7s

Eurowork^t1⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 105| D

28/1

Winning pointer at fourth attempt and has hit the frame over hurdles the last twice. Type to do better as a chaser but opening try at Wetherby in December was disappointing. Tongue tie fitted.

Form: 2/1042-9

Forgetthesmalltalk^v1⁵³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: A King| OR: 105| D

14/1

Fair performer over hurdles but had his issues and made a decidedly ordinary start to chasing to end 2020. Visor needs to spark him into life.

Form: 20/28-07

Alright Marlene^t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: J Kington| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 103| D

12/1

Winning pointer who hit crossbar twice over hurdles at Southwell in November. Sets a stiff task and showed aptitude for chasing in a novice last month. Since confirmed well-being in a jumpers bumper.

Form: 722P34

Archie Brown^p1⁵⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: H Hogarth| OR: 102| C

25/1

Fairly useful 20f hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls. Below par for new yard this term, recoiling from opening chase run when pulling up at Catterick. Cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 13-704P

Eclair Des Sablons^p,t1¹²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 102| D

12/1

Point winner who displayed fair level of ability over hurdles. Limited impact completed starts over fences last year, though. Tongue tie added.

Form: 60-8U58

Rintulla^b⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: B Pauling| OR: 101

5/1

No great shakes over hurdles last term, but this bumper winner appears destined for better in this sphere judged on latest Warwick (2½m, heavy) third in first-time blinkers.

Form: P54-4F3

Kalinite^t⁶⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 94| D

25/1

Third-place finish in a maiden chase at Downpatrick in 2017 something of a stand-out effort for Jessica Harrington. Won a couple of points in 2019 but has a lot to prove.

Form: 2U2631/

Barley Hill^t1⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Archie Bellamy⁽⁷⁾| T: J Mason| OR: 90

200/1

Fair form in bumpers but disappointing over hurdles for Ben Pauling. Has failed to win between the flags in more recent times.

Form: 4PP4-2P

Tour De Pub^v1³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 89| D

11/2

Modest form at best over hurdles and fared no better chasing for the first time when sixth in Musselburgh novice handicap latest. Visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 863/8P6

Jimmy^p³⁴⁴

16/1

Fontwell winner last winter but absent since pulling up there in March. Subsequently had wind surgery ahead of this on reappearance/ chase debut.

Form: 0/6214P-

Shattered Glass⁶⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: James Bowen| T: M Scudamore| OR: 85| D

3/1

Irish point winner who made no impact over hurdles and, despite coming in for support on the back of a breathing operation, failed to land a blow in handicap at Catterick on chasing debut.

Form: P/1079-5

Jones Well^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Murphy| OR: 79| BF

10/1

Showed as much temperament as ability over hurdles in 2019. In good hands but never really looked like justifying support on last month's reappearance and now goes chasing.

Form: 670/09-5

Catlin⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: N Kent| OR: 78

9/2

Better signs from her reduced mark when second on 22.7f Leicester chase debut in November. Step up to 3m shapes as if likely to suit. Considered.

Form: P56-P52

Non-Runners

First Man¹

Weight: 10-13| Age: 6

T: O Greenall & J Guerriero J: Henry Brooke

Forecasts

Shattered Glass (3/1), First Man (4/1), Catlin (9/2), Rintulla (5/1), Tour De Pub (11/2), Jones Well (10/1), Eclair Des Sablons (12/1), Alright Marlene (12/1), Forgetthesmalltalk (14/1), Jimmy (16/1), Archie Brown (25/1), Kalinite (25/1), Eurowork (28/1), Barley Hill (200/1)

In the likely absence of First Man (creditable third at Wincanton on Saturday) this looks wide open, with Irish point winner SHATTERED GLASS perhaps worth another chance to show he's on a good mark. Catlin and Rintulla are a couple of definite threats.
