Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 120

11/4

Made second start for Fergal O'Brien a winning one at Exeter in December. Back on track when third at Uttoxeter last time and return to this strip should suit. Tongue tied for the first time.

Form: 1-21453

Imperial Knight^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 120

11/4

Fair maiden hurdler who shaped well when second at Southwell 11 days ago. Looks on a fair mark, so one to be interested in.

Form: 2-03352

Kingsplace^p⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 117| C

11/2

Fair maiden hurdler who has been below form the last twice but returns to handicaps on a good mark and should relish the step up in trip, so he's a notable participant.

Form: 9/24-655

Johnny B¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 117

6/1

Solid start to hurdling, runner-up once again in novice at Chepstow 17 days ago. Switches to handicaps but hard to see where further improvement will come from.

Form: 445422

Ask Henry^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 116

15/2

Might have won had he stood up 2 out in 3m Taunton novice handicap hurdle in November. Lesser effort at Uttoxeter last time but may have needed the run, so warrants respect.

Form: 3245F8

Chambard^p1¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 114

9/1

Bumper/hurdles winner who was runner-up on his first 3 chase starts. However, hasn’t returned in the same form this season, though latest hurdling effort was more encouraging. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 225-P46

Urtheonethatiwant¹⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Bryan Carver⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 106| CD

11/1

Dual winner last term and stepped up markedly on his reappearance effort when third at Ludlow late last year. Pulled up over C&D 101 days ago, but could bounce back.

Form: 110-P3P

Forecasts

Imperial Knight (11/4), Huntsmans Jog (11/4), Kingsplace (11/2), Johnny B (6/1), Ask Henry (15/2), Chambard (9/1), Urtheonethatiwant (11/1)

KINGSPLACE arrives on the back of a couple of disappointing showings but could benefit from the step up in trip reverted to handicaps from an appealing mark. He's preferred to in-form duo Huntsmans Jog and Imperial Knight.
