Eragon De Chanay^v³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 119| D

7/2

Useful 21f winner over hurdles at his best. Has been much more miss than hit in recent years, but got back on track in a refitted visor when third at Fontwell (19.5f) last month.

Form: 0-FF3P2

Somekindofstar^b²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Quinlan| T: L Wadham| OR: 117| D

9/2

Ex-pointer who made it 2-2 over fences in blinkers in 6-runner handicap at Leicester (20.2f) 23 days ago. That race felt apart, but he was still a very worthy winner and could progress further.

Form: 0-53171

Do Wanna Know¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 117| D

6/1

Dual novice hurdle winner last term. Has been disappointing so far this season, but did hint at a revival after 3 months off at Huntingdon last time. His task is to now build on that.

Form: F1-PFP5

The Newest One¹¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 115

5/1

Fair maiden hurdler who stepped up on his reappearance run when sixth of 11 in 23.9f Taunton handicap in November, though that was a muddling affair. Tries chasing now and improvement required.

Form: 5333-66

Rock On Rocco¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: T Scudamore| T: T R George| OR: 115

4/1

Signed off last season with novice hurdle win. Encouraging return/chase debut when second at Kempton but below par twice since, including on the back of a wind op/break last time.

Form: P31-256

Delight Of Dubai³⁸³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: P J Brennan| T: Noel Williams| OR: 114| D

11/1

Fair winner over hurdles who showed an aptitude for chasing when at Hereford a year ago (fourth past the post but subsequently disqualified). Off since but should still improve.

Form: 21/125D-

Rock On Tiger¹²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 108

15/2

Fair maiden hurdler who ran no sort of race when pulled up at Wetherby on final outing in November. Makes chase debut now after a break, but others more appealing.

Form: 7-2435P

Forecasts

Eragon De Chanay (7/2), Rock On Rocco (4/1), Somekindofstar (9/2), The Newest One (5/1), Do Wanna Know (6/1), Rock On Tiger (15/2), Delight Of Dubai (11/1)

The race fell apart around SOMEKINDOFSTAR at Leicester, but he was still a very worthy winner and could well have more to offer as a chaser, so he's taken to notch another win. Eragon de Chanay got back on track in a refitted visor at Fontwell and may pose the biggest threat.
