Age: 13| Weight: 12-2| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 101| CD

16/1

Fairly useful hurdler at his best but at the veteran stage now and he's yet to fire this season. Takes a drop in grade here but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Bingo D'Olivate¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-1| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: J Ewart| OR: 100

8/1

Good second of 14 in C&D handicap last month. Not in the same form when a remote third over fences here 10 days ago but better can be expected back over the smaller obstacles.

Form: D8-6F23

Cancan²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: N W Alexander| OR: 97

14/1

Pulled up sole start in France but offered encouragement at the second time of asking for new connections when fourth of 12 in 2m Newcastle novice 22 days ago. Hood off. Likely improver in handicaps.

Form: P74

Dancing Doug^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Callum Bewley| T: A C Whillans| OR: 97

5/2

Fourth in a couple of jumpers bumpers to start 2021 and not disgraced when 15 lengths third back hurdling over C&D 27 days ago. Needs to build on that now in refitted cheekpieces.

Form: 5-07443

Old Jewry¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Ross Chapman| T: D Bourke| OR: 92

12/1

Edged ahead late onto open account at Kelso (21f) in November but has struggled in 3 starts since.

Form: 35150P

Oishin^t¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: K Yeoman⁽⁷⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 87| CD

11/4

Slight step back in the right direction when fourth at Newcastle 12 days ago and he's 2 lb lower than when taking this race last year. No surprise if he pops up again.

Form: 71-9774

Click And Collect^p,t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 87

6/1

Didn't find much off the bridle when sixth of 13 at Sedgefield last time but that run was a bit more encouraging and he's starting to look well handicapped.

Form: 68-5666

Snowed In^p²⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 10-7| J: B S Hughes| T: B Butterworth| OR: 78| CD

18/1

Veteran who has been operating below his best so for this season but is now 6 lb lower than when successful at Catterick last winter. Brian Hughes takes the ride again.

Form: 13-7847

Unique Company¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Weatherer| OR: 70

11/1

Poor on Flat/over hurdles. Ran as well as could be expected from out the handicap here last time and is only 1 lb out of the weights on this occasion.

Form: P63007

Forecasts

Dancing Doug (5/2), Oishin (11/4), Click And Collect (6/1), Bingo D'Olivate (8/1), Unique Company (11/1), Old Jewry (12/1), Cancan (14/1), Tawseef (16/1), Snowed In (18/1)

CANCAN was a bit of an eyecatcher at Newcastle last time and gets the nod to build on that and make a successful start to life in handicaps. Last year's winner Oishin can stage a revival and pose the main threat ahead of Click And Collect.
