Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 120| D

12/1

Useful chaser at best for Philip Hobbs. Easily best effort for this yard when third over C&D 2 weeks ago so not dismissed back down in class.

Form: 3-P5363

Caltex^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Scudamore| OR: 119

9/2

Just respectable efforts at best over fences this season and well held back over hurdles latest. Mark continue to slide at least.

Form: 588347

Cooking Fat^b²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss P Robson| OR: 118| D

7/1

Handicap chase winner off 2 lb higher in July 2018. Off 20 months, shaped as if retaining ability both starts over hurdles this season. Potentially well treated back over fences.

Form: 345U/44

Do Wanna Know⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 117| D

10/1

Dual novice hurdle winner last term. Has been mostly disappointing so far this season, again let down by jumping in this sphere at Ludlow 9 days ago.

Form: 1-PFP5F

Uptown Harry^p1,t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Ross Chapman| T: Mrs J Walton| OR: 115

10/3

Winner of 22f Kelso maiden hurdle last season before signing off with second over C&D on debut over fences. Back to form fitted with tongue tie when second over this C&D last month. Headgear on.

Form: 42-84P2

Blow By Blow^p⁴²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 113| D

Pookie Pekan⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 110| CD

7/2

Proved better than ever last season and shaped well until stamina for 3m was fully tested on reappearance here in October. Unable to get near that form since, though.

Form: 5-4PP67

Ettila De Sivola^b³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny McMenamin| T: J Ewart| OR: 108

18/1

Improved on third start over fences when landing small-field Newcastle handicap in December 2019. Disconcerting he's not fired in 3 starts this winter, however.

Form: 133-8P8

Doktor Glaz^v²³

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Lorcan Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R Dobbin| OR: 107| CD

17/2

C&D scorer in early 2018 who matched that form after 32 months off when placed at Newcastle. Unable to build on that next 2 starts, albeit not disgraced.

Form: 511/234

Forecasts

Uptown Harry (10/3), Pookie Pekan (7/2), Caltex (9/2), Kalaharry (9/2), Cooking Fat (7/1), Doktor Glaz (17/2), Do Wanna Know (10/1), Kayf Adventure (12/1), Blow By Blow (16/1), Ettila De Sivola (18/1)

COOKING FAT has shaped as if retaining his ability on both starts over hurdles this season after a long absence so looks potentially well treated back over fences. Kalaharry has taken well to this sphere and rates the main threat ahead of Uptown Harry, who pulled clear of the rest when runner-up here last month.
