Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Ben Jones| T: D Burchell| OR: 97| CD

22/1

Matched his fair hurdle exploits when landing a C&D handicap in July 2019. Restricted to just 3 runs since, well held on each occasion. Since left Tim Vaughan.

Form: 251/P6P-

Franz Klammer^h,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Alexander Thorne⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Pritchard| OR: 97| CD

7/2

Long-standing maiden hurdler but suddenly chasing a hat-trick over fences following a brace of C&D wins this summer. Up 15 lb but clearly demands respect in current mood.

Form: 2P-0311

Magic River^b1,t²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Mitchell Bastyan⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 97| C

22/1

Posted career best when easily winning 3m1f handicap chase at Wincanton in April. Below par since with jumping errors creeping in. Blinkers replace usual visor.

Form: BP1-754

King Golan^b³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 93| BF| D

7/1

Justified strong support in a conditionals' handicap hurdle on debut for this yard at Huntingdon. Shaped best off same mark next time but failed to meet expectations back over fences at Worcester.

Form: PP4-12P

Twasn't The Plan^h,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: C Brace| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 91

14/1

Fallen plenty in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Newton Abbot, finishing with running left. Not so good at this venue 18 days ago, though.

Form: 9454-47

He's A Bully¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 90

50/1

Wincanton winner in autumn 2015 but pulled up in 2 points in 2018/19 and no show in 3 comeback runs for new yard in recent months. Plenty to prove for now.

Form: 3PP/885

Between The Waters^p,t¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Page Fuller| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 90

12/1

Has slipped a fair way in the weights since his latest success at Ffos Las in June 2019 and confirmed he's competitive with a brace of runner-up efforts of late, including over this C&D.

Form: 447-422

It's For Alan^b1⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: James Davies| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 89

50/1

Runner-up over fences at Huntingdon in November but has run poorly over both sets of obstacles since. Blinkers replace hood.

Form: 92P0-PP

Dido¹¹^{(ex 7)}

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: J E Moore| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 80

8/1

Cashed in on a career-low mark in 7-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot 11 days ago, driven out to repel Regaby. Penalised in a better race.

Form: 5P00-61

Blue N Yellow²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 86

12/1

Tricky customer who ended 2020 in disappointing fashion. Fair reappearance at Worcester but others more convincing.

Form: 2530P-4

Golden Poet^p,t²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 79

20/1

Twice a runner-up from higher marks over fences last season and occupied same spot back from a short break at Worcester a month ago. Same mark here but isn't one for maximum faith.

Form: 97F59-2

He Is A Cracker^t1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: R P McLernon| T: G Brown| OR: 77

33/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Hasn't shown much under Rules, though switch to fences may see him in a better light.

Form: 8004-07

Regaby^p,t¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 77

4/1

Fitted with cheekpieces/tongue tie and best effort yet when second to Dido at Newton Abbot 11 days ago. Weighted to reverse that form and still unexposed over fences.

Form: P7-2F32

Frilly Frock^t⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Mason| OR: 74WS

28/1

Handicap chase at Wincanton in October. Struggled to see races out since so a subsequent breathing op may help in that regard.

Form: 031P4-6

Kalaskadesemilley^p,t⁴⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Rex Dingle| T: J Farrelly| OR: 69| C

18/1

Long-standing maiden who is usually out of the handicap and remains easy enough to oppose.

Form: 25P-976

Forecasts

Franz Klammer (7/2), Regaby (4/1), King Golan (7/1), Dido (8/1), Between The Waters (12/1), Blue N Yellow (12/1), Twasn't The Plan (14/1), Trumps Benefit (16/1), Kalaskadesemilley (18/1), Golden Poet (20/1), Take Em Out (22/1), Magic River (22/1), Frilly Frock (28/1), He Is A Cracker (33/1), It's For Alan (50/1), He's A Bully (50/1)

The handicapper has taken a fair swipe at FRANZ KLAMMER, but this uncomplicated sort is absolutely thriving over this C&D and appeals as being the one to beat again. King Golan was disappointing at Worcester but remains a danger, along with Regaby.
