14/1
Fairly useful form when bagging 2m4f hurdle at Chepstow in November. Pulled up at Wincanton on final run for Paul Nicholls so makes chase debut for new yard with a bit to prove.

7/4
Modest maiden over hurdles but much better over fences and made it 2-4 with wide-margin win in 2m4f Worcester handicap earlier in the month. Sure to go well again despite 11 lb hike in the weights.

Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins. Yet to match that form in 4 runs over fences for new yard, patiently ridden when fourth in 2m6f Uttoxeter handicap four weeks ago. Not ruled out off easing mark.

Dual 2m hurdles winner in light 2019/20 campaign. Much his best effort over fences when third in 2m Huntingdon handicap 11 days ago. Hood retried and in the mix.

Winning pointer who was off the mark in novice at Stratford on hurdling debut in 2019. Only twice raced since and remote third in 2m Southwell novice on chasing bow last month. Needs to step forward.

Fairly useful over hurdles/fences, running one of his better races when third in 2m4f handicap chase at Worcester 17 days ago. Unreliable on the whole, however.

Forecasts

Jemima P (7/4), Wagner (9/4), Quartz Du Rheu (16/5), Black Buble (4/1), Present From Dubai (6/1), Imperial Flem (7/1), Rocheston (14/1)

Verdict

JEMIMA P has been transformed by the switch to fences and is hard to oppose despite taking a big rise in the weights for her impressive Worcester victory. Quartz du Rheu can't be ruled out now the handicapper is relenting and looks the chief danger.

  1. JEMIMA P (IRE)
  2. QUARTZ DU RHEU (FR)
  3. PRESENT FROM DUBAI (IRE)
