Still to get his head in front, but respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 19 days ago. Well in the mix off reduced mark.

9/2, good third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) 46 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with step up in trip expected to suit. Player in bid for his breakthrough victory.

16/1
Dual winner around 1m2f on Flat but yet to score in this sphere, and only ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) before Christmas. More needed on her return.

9/1
Unreliable hurdler/chaser who wasn't disgrced back in this sphere when fourth in handicap at Fakenham (20f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Others still more persuasive, though.

Lightly-raced maiden. Had wind op before pulled up in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 17 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Largely consistent mare who posted respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 61 days ago. Needs considering.

Forecasts

Crackle Lyn Rosie (11/4), She's A Novelty (11/4), Valentine's Turf (16/5), Gyllen (11/2), Wisecracker (9/1), Easkey Lad (12/1), Out By Six (14/1), Telekinetic (16/1), Sure I'm Your Man (16/1), Fraterculus (33/1), The Come Back Dude (66/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few but the most persuasive one is for VALENTINE'S TURF who should really benefit from this stiffer test of stamina after his staying-on Taunton third and can open his account. She's A Novelty is feared most off a slipping mark, although both Gyllen and Out By Six can have a say too in an open handicap.

  1. VALENTINE'S TURF (FR)
  2. SHE'S A NOVELTY (IRE)
  3. GYLLEN (USA)
