Danny Whizzbang^p,t³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 140

2/1

Looked good prospect when taking Grade 2 novice on chase debut. Things haven't gone to since, but this is the easiest assignment he's contested this season.

Form: 133-7P5

Beau Du Brizais⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 134| C

6/1

Useful chaser who was in good order prior to latest run, denied only by Kingswell Theatre cross-country event at Cheltenham in November. The one to beat if returning to that form after a break.

Form: 7-4F225

Coup De Pinceau^v⁷⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁷⁾| T: Nick Mitchell| OR: 131

4/1

Useful chaser who returned to form to take advantage of a drop in the weights at Perth in September. Creditable third at Ludlow on yard debut in December, but no so good in a visor last time.

Form: P-51536

Skipthecuddles^p²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 125

5/1

Useful performer in his pomp and showed there's still some life in him when third at Newbury in January. However, underlined he can't be trusted when pulled up at Sandown last time.

Form: UP6/P3P

White Moon^t¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 124

3/1

Has an unconvincing profile overall, but his latest run at Kempton can be easily be excused having been badly hampered at the fourth. Returns to chasing now back up in trip.

Form: FP07-87

Forecasts

Danny Whizzbang (2/1), White Moon (3/1), Coup De Pinceau (4/1), Skipthecuddles (5/1), Beau Du Brizais (6/1)

This can go to BEAU DU BRIZAIS if he's back to the level of form he showed when second to Kingswell Theatre in a cross-country event at Cheltenham in November. Danny Whizzbang has yet to fire this season, but this is considerably easier than the races he's been contesting.
