Our Power^p³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 134| D

11/4

Off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Wincanton last month but failed to get further than the first in his follow up bid at Doncaster 3 days ago. Big player if none the worse from that.

Form: 4PP-51F

Barbados Blue³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 129

7/2

Winning start over fences at Fakenham in October. Lost little cast in defeat in a Warwick listed race last time, but more needed off this career-high mark.

Form: 24-3122

Mahler's Promise⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 127

11/4

Bit of mixed record over hurdles but built on chase debut promise when scoring at Newton Abbot in June. Similar form when runner-up twice since at Sandown.

Form: 0-52122

Dorking Lad^p1⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 113| BF

85/40

Hurdles winner who showed benefit of return/chase debut run despite making hard work of things when second at Fontwell (19.5f) in November. Below form in blinkers since so cheekpieces now tried.

Form: V91-427

Forecasts

Dorking Lad (85/40), Our Power (11/4), Mahler's Promise (11/4), Barbados Blue (7/2)

Tough to rule any of the quartet out but OUR POWER matched his hurdles form at the second attempt when scoring at Wincanton last month so Sam Thomas' charge gets the verdict to make amends for a first fence spill at Doncaster 3 days ago. Barbados Blue lost little in defeat in a listed contest at Warwick 5 weeks ago so she gets the vote for the forecast spot back in handicap company.
