10/3

Landed a course novice (16.8f) last summer and ran with credit to hit the frame next 3 starts in handicaps, latterly when third at Doncaster (16.5f) in December. Not discounted.

Form: 52-1223

Be The Difference¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 108

6/1

Showed improved form to land back-to-back handicaps at Ayr in November. Creditable placed efforts from inflated mark have followed and no reason why he won't go well again.

Form: 621133

Soivegotachance^p1¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Reed| T: D Bourke| OR: 107

25/1

Fair form in maiden/novice hurdles but yet to build on those exploits for the switch to handicaps, well held at Newcastle (23.7f) 12 days ago.

Form: P-24370

Storm Lorenzo^p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: B S Hughes| T: R Menzies| OR: 105

11/2

Ex-Irish gelding who has showed fair form over hurdles for his current yard. Poor effort when last of 6 at Haydock (24.2f) in December but still early days and no surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: U-23646

Jelski^p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlotte Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 104

14/1

Ended a losing sequence stretching back to 2019 off a much-reduced mark at Cartmel (2¾m) in July. Not scaled same heights in 3 subsequent starts but mark is easing all the time. No forlorn hope.

Form: 4P1595

Kajaki^b⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 104| C

14/1

Losing run stretches back over 3 years but fitting of blinkers had positive effect when third over 2m at Newcastle in November. Headgear needs to have desired effect once more back up in trip.

Dakota Beat^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Bewley| T: J R Norton| OR: 103

80/1

Scored at Perth last summer for Gavin Cromwell, but it's been downhill pretty much all the way since and no signs of an imminent revival in 3 starts for new connections of late.

Form: 6P6058

Fightfortheroses¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 97| C

8/1

7-y-o who belatedly shed maiden tag over jumps when successful here (19.8f) 16 days ago, defying market weakness in the process. 6 lb higher now but not dismissed if arriving in same form.

Form: 843531

Hungry Tiger³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 93

4/1

Ex-Irish chase winner who comes here in good order. beaten only by an unexposed sort at Catterick (19.3f) late last month. One of the likelier types here.

Form: 66F222

Bintheredonethat⁷³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: S Bowen| T: N C Kelly| OR: 91

13/2

Maiden who ran as well could be expected when 8.5 lengths eighth of 18 at Thurles (20.4f) in November. However, others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: F34508

Arcanja^t,v¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 76

40/1

Little in the way of solid form and he didn't offer a great deal on the back of a wind op when fifth of 11 behind Fightfortheroses here (19.8f) 16 days ago. No easy task from out of the weights.

Form: 4252-P5

Forecasts

Onehundredpercent (10/3), Hungry Tiger (4/1), Storm Lorenzo (11/2), Be The Difference (6/1), Bintheredonethat (13/2), Fightfortheroses (8/1), Cash Again (10/1), Kajaki (14/1), Jelski (14/1), Soivegotachance (25/1), Arcanja (40/1), Dakota Beat (80/1)

Typically competitive fare with the narrow vote in favour of top-weight ONEHUNDREDPERCENT. He acquitted himself with credit all 3 starts in handicaps on the back of landing a course novice last year and it would come as no surprise to see him go well on the back of a short break. Hungry Tiger is knocking on the door and is feared, along with Fightfortheroses and Be The Difference.
