Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 115| D

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: T Lawes| OR: 114

3/1

Point winner who stepped up on debut when third in maiden hurdle at Southwell 5 weeks ago. Opening mark looks fair and likely to have more to offer.

25/1

Tried in tongue strap when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (100/1) 59 days ago. Hard to warm to.

15/2

Dual winner of novice hurdles at Cartmel in 2018. Hasn't stood much racing since, below form in a light 2019/20 campaign. Has left John Quinn and joined another good yard.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: D A Jacob| T: D J Coakley| OR: 111| D

5/2

Suited by return to 2m when stylish winner at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Remains unexposed over hurdles and high on shortlist.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 106| D

Form: 21PP70

Cherry Cola¹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 105WS

25/1

Fair 3-time Flat winner (stays 1½m) and similar form over hurdles, though let down by jumping at Kempton when last seen in November.

Form: 3-U39

Commander Miller⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs D O'Neill| OR: 96

22/1

Modest hurdler. Well held in jumpers bumper 57 days ago after 3 months off. Mark looks too high on balance.

Form: 2P-0270

Legend Of France^h³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan| OR: 92| D

14/1

Not far off the pace when falling 2 out at Plumpton on sole start last term. Showed he retains ability after 16 months off when third at Huntingdon, albeit not looking straightforward.

Form: 1345/F-3

Forecasts

Givepeaceachance (5/2), Sublime Heights (3/1), El Borracho (9/2), Clemento (15/2), Legend Of France (14/1), Beltor (16/1), Champagne City (20/1), Commander Miller (22/1), Whiskey And Water (25/1), Cherry Cola (25/1), Danny Park (28/1), Simply Loveleh (40/1)

CLEMENTO is potentially on a handy mark starting out for Fergal O'Brien so could be worth chancing on his belated return. Givepeaceachance was a stylish winner at Southwell 3 weeks ago and is another to consider, while Sublime Heights is open to further improvement now handicapping.
