Demi Sang^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 122| D

11/2

Posted 3 successive placed efforts (1 chase, 2 hurdle) in the autumn. Below par over fences on last 3 starts but his mark has come down 11 lb in the process. Keep an eye on in betting.

Getariver^t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 118| BF

6/1

Fairly useful hurdler who was strong in the betting back over timber at Plumpton but was unable to recover from a serious error. Back over fences now and open to further improvement as a chaser.

Form: 33625P

Road Warrior^p,t³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: K Yeoman⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 116| C

10/3

In good form all season and taken it up another notch in recent months, making all at Sedgefield and Newcastle under regular rider Kane Yeoman. Remains of interest.

Form: 622711

Wolfcatcher^p,t¹⁶⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 114

28/1

Fairly useful winning chaser for Ian Williams. Easily best effort for this yard when 4¼ lengths third at Carlisle (2m, good) in October but below par following month. Off over 5 months.

Form: 43-6635

Martila¹³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: Miss P Robson| OR: 114

5/1

Losing run is mounting up but she did shape well from a sliding mark when third at Warwick (20f). Excuses at Cheltenham since and not ruled out under Brian Hughes.

Form: 332-738

Tico Times¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 106| CD

10/3

Had wind op and left hurdle efforts for this yard well behind when making winning chase bow in 19f Sedgefield handicap. Defied a 7 lb rise in good style at Carlisle since so needs considering.

Form: P5-P011

High Noon^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 97

9/1

Fair hurdler/chaser who hasn't been at best this season. Mark is easing as a result but needs to show more.

Form: 22-P444

Muroor^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 89| CD

11/1

Hard to catch right but made winning return over C&D and back-to-form second at Hexham. Well held at Newcastle since, though, and opposable from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Road Warrior (10/3), Tico Times (10/3), Martila (5/1), Demi Sang (11/2), Getariver (6/1), High Noon (9/1), Muroor (11/1), Wolfcatcher (28/1)

The thriving ROAD WARRIOR was value for a bit extra when winning at Newcastle last month so is taken to complete the hat-trick. Getariver had excuses last time and remains open to improvement as a chaser, while Tico Times made it 2 from 2 over fences at Carlisle so must be respected.
