Malpas²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 113| BF

85/40

Improved in the jumping department to land 17f novice at Carlisle on return. Fair runs in handicaps since and should go well back in this company despite his penalty.

Form: 3FF-154

Fenland Tiger²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England

12/1

Has shaped like a stayer in a pair of bumpers but isn't over-faced for hurdles debut.

Form: 98

Rains Of Castamere⁷⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: I Jardine

25/1

Fair Flat winner who struck again twice in 2021. Didn't jump well on only other go over hurdles for Mick Channon a year ago, although this is easier.

Form: 7-

Socialist Agenda²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: L Morgan| OR: 120

8/13

Impressive in winning all 3 bumpers starts in 2020 and has made a promising start over hurdles, setting the pace in messy Cheltenham contest last time. Big shout back down in class.

Form: 111-24

Lindwall^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Paul O'Brien| T: D McCain Jnr

22/1

Fair stayer on Flat, got an AW hat-trick up for Sir Mark Prescott in October. Well held in a couple of juvenile hurdles this term and handicaps might be more his bag.

Form: 55

Forecasts

Socialist Agenda (8/13), Malpas (85/40), Fenland Tiger (12/1), Lindwall (22/1), Rains Of Castamere (25/1)

This trip will be on the short side for SOCIALIST AGENDA but he may not have much to beat and can open his account over hurdles. The penalised Malpas is the clear danger on form.
