Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: K Brogan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Gordon| OR: 127| C| D

6/4

Took a while for it to click over hurdles but he arrives in search of a 4-timer after wins at Lingfield, Fakenham and Taunton to end 2020. This probably on limit of stamina but he's thriving.

10/3

Opened hurdles account at Taunton final run last term (just 1 lb above that mark now). Resolution when push comes to shove often missing with him though and mistakes have also crept in of late.

Dell Oro¹¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: James Davies| T: D Steele| OR: 119| C

80/1

Gone wrong way since Huntingdon chase win in January 2019, pulling up over hurdles final start for Gary Moore. Low-key stable debut/return at Wincanton in November.

Form: 3P3/PP-0

Kings Walk⁷¹⁹

12/1

Dual 21f winner over hurdles and easily best effort over fences when runner-up at Newbury in March 2019. Absent since later that month so well-being has to be taken on trust.

Rosy World^h1¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: M G Nolan| T: Miss S Smith| OR: 112

7/1

Posted a much-improved effort over hurdles when successful on 20.5f Plumpton handicap bow in March 2019. Restricted to just 4 runs since, and she very likely needed last month's reappearance. Hooded.

Form: 61/337-9

Baddesley Prince⁷⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 111

4/1

Marked progress on third start in novice company when finding only one too good at Plumpton in January. Fell early in Newbury handicap 2 months later and off since. Market can guide.

Sirop De Menthe²³

Age: 11| Weight: 10-9| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 106| D

16/1

Without a win for over 4 years and completely misfired (reportedly made respiratory noise) when well backed at Plumpton in December. Never a factor down at 2m last month.

Forecasts

Mount Windsor (6/4), Nordic Combined (10/3), Baddesley Prince (4/1), Zafar (9/2), Rosy World (7/1), Kings Walk (12/1), Sirop De Menthe (16/1), Dell Oro (80/1)

MOUNT WINDSOR isn't obviously well treated in his quest for the 4-timer, but with the majority of these having a lot to prove, he rates the safest option. Nordic Combined ought to be a factor in a race like this, while Kings Walk and Baddesley Prince require a market check back from a long time off.
