Ar Mest³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 121

3/1

Dual hurdles winner who has largely performed with credit in 3 chase starts this season. Jumped left when second of 4 at Huntingdon last time, so likely to be better going this way around.

Form: 3-33552

El Tornado^h1⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 76

100/1

Well held in bumper/trio of novice hurdles.

Form: 9-870

Fidelio Vallis¹⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 137| BF

2/7

Dual winner over hurdles at 2m. Ran below that level sent chasing when a well-beaten second of 5 at Ludlow (20f) in December, though was possibly unsuited by heavy conditions. Should do much better.

Form: F11-242

Go On Brycey Lad¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Doggrell⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T R George| OR: 86

18/1

Has run to just a poor level over hurdles, pulling up on Stratford handicap debut on most recent outing in November.

Form: 58-9P

Forecasts

Fidelio Vallis (2/7), Ar Mest (3/1), Go On Brycey Lad (18/1), El Tornado (100/1)

FIDELIO VALLIS ran a long way below his hurdles form on his Ludlow chasing debut in December, but he's fancied to prove a different proposition now returning to less testing ground after a break. Ar Mest is the obvious threat.
