Caboy^t⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 114| D

20/1

Winning hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France. In and out form this season but latest effort when runner-up at Ayr was one of his better showings. Not discounted.

Form: 8/44352

Scottish Accent^p,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 112| CD

2/1

Gained breakthrough win in good style in handicap over C&D 17 days ago, forging clear from last to beat Central Flame by 7l. Hit with 7 lb rise but still low mileage and holds leading claims again.

Form: 542231

Some Can Dance^p,t1³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Harrison Beswick⁽⁵⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 110| C

12/1

Badly out of sorts so far this term, pulled up in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Ffos Las (3m) last time. Tongue strap on for 1st time and easily opposed.

Form: PP-P48P

Ard Chros^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 110| CD

16/1

Back to winning ways at Carlisle (2m4f) in November but all three efforts since since have been underwhelming. Has questions to answer now.

Form: 9P14P7

Doktor Glaz^v⁹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 109| CD

12/1

C&D scorer in early 2018 who matched that form after 32 months off when placed at Newcastle and Kelso this term. Much respected off 1 lb lower mark now.

Form: 3511/23

Well Above Par^p²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 104| D

18/1

Successful at Kelso (2m5f) in 2019, but it's been pretty much all downhill since and he turned in a modest sixth here last time. Very hard to enthuse over.

Form: 45P-646

Trongate¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: R M Smith| OR: 104| BF| D

11/2

Fair hurdler/chaser who often runs with credit but he's not the best jumper of fences and also arrives winless since 2018. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 33P344

Central Flame¹⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 10-11| J: C O'Farrell| T: J Walton| OR: 99| CD

9/2

It's now sixteen runs since his last win but veteran arrives in good nick, second of 8 to Scottish Accent over C&D 17 days ago. Enjoys 8 lb pull in the weights now so he merits serious consideration.

Form: 3/PP-522

Don't Need To Know^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 98

13/2

Runner-up on his chase debut at Kelso in October and has bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when reaching the frame at Catterick on his last 2 starts. Ought to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 23U434

Clouncerna²³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: R Menzies| OR: 94

18/1

Poor ex-Irish hurdler but he made encouraging chasing bow when fifth in Tipperary maiden (20f) back in July. Has made an interesting yard switch and not dismissed now handicapping after a break.

Form: 83760-5

Peur De Rien⁹⁰

Weight: 11-7| Age: 8

T: O Sherwood J: Brendan Powell

Forecasts

Scottish Accent (2/1), Central Flame (9/2), Peur De Rien (9/2), Trongate (11/2), Don't Need To Know (13/2), Doktor Glaz (12/1), Some Can Dance (12/1), Ard Chros (16/1), Well Above Par (18/1), Clouncerna (18/1), Caboy (20/1)

SCOTTISH ACCENT opened his account in emphatic style over C&D last month so is fancied to defy a 7 lb hike in the weights and confirm placings with runner-up Central Flame. James Walton's in-form veteran rates the main threat, with Don't Need To Know appealing as a solid place prospect.
