Snookered^p⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 132| CD

18/1

C&D winner, but he ran poorly after 10 weeks off when eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f) 50 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 17-F028

Theatre Legend⁹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C Grant| OR: 128| CD

33/1

Off 7 months before fading eighth of 10 in 2m handicap hurdle at Wetherby 93 days ago. Not discounted if, as expected, building on that effort.

Form: 2F517-8

Anyharminasking¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 127

5/6

11/8, made a mockery of his opening mark in 2m handicap hurdle at Catterick 17 days ago, cruising clear from last. HIked up 13 lb but has plenty more to offer and still very much the one to beat.

Form: 1-4221

Breakeven¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁷⁾| T: Paul Collins| OR: 126

25/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser who landed Galway maiden chase on his final run for Thomas Mullins in September. Back from a break and he needs to hit the ground running on his yard bow.

Form: 63140-1

Gordon's Jet⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| OR: 124| C| D

2/1

Course winner in October who backed it up with good third in 2m handicap at Doncaster 64 days ago. Considered off an unchanged mark.

Form: 22P313

Caius Marcius^p²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽¹⁰⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 122| C| D

12/1

Veteran is a multiple winner but he turned in one of his lesser efforts when only fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (19.8f) 29 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 6542U5

Ellaat⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: S Bowen| T: N C Kelly| OR: 113

12/1

Dual 2m hurdlles winner this winter who wasn't disgraced in 12f Dundalk handicap last month. Irish raider can't be discounted back in this sphere.

Form: 073113

Forecasts

Anyharminasking (5/6), Gordon's Jet (2/1), Ellaat (12/1), Caius Marcius (12/1), Snookered (18/1), Breakeven (25/1), Theatre Legend (33/1)

ANYHARMINASKING lowered the colours of Constitution Hill no less in points and looked way ahead of his mark when scoring at Catterick earlier in the month so is hard to oppose here despite taking a 13 lb rise in the weights. Course-winner Gordon's Jet appeals as the one to chase home Jonjo O'Neill's improver with, Irish-challenger Ellaat shortlisted too.
