Ex-French chaser who regained the winning thread when edging out Grey Atlantic Way in a 3-runner event on return at Ayr. Disappointing since and this his first hurdles start since 2019.
|
All the better for return when excellent second at Musselburgh on handicap bow in December. Plugged on for fourth over 3m at Doncaster and now upped further in trip.
|
Opened his account in 23f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter. Merits consideration despite 4 lb rise with few miles still on the clock tackling this trip for the first time.
|
Ended a losing streak stretching back over 2 years from a tumbling mark when taking handicap hurdle at Catterick under this rider on New Year's Day. Task is to back that performance up.
|
Perked up by change of headgear when runner-up at Worcester (23f) in August but disappointing on the whole since and isn't one to be making excuses for.
|
Opened her account at the ninth attempt under a more patient ride than previously at Hexham in December. Sound fourth from revised mark at Wetherby and now up in distance.
|
Had wind op and tongue strap on when good second at Catterick on New Year's Day and similar form nudged up 2 lb there next time. Matched that form when second in a course handicap chase 10 days ago.
|
Maiden hurdler, although she was second in a 23f Hexham handicap in December. Hampered and unseated rider on recent chase debut.
|
Just about a career best when fourth of 18 in a 3m handicap at Wetherby 13 days ago. Same mark here and shapes as though he will stay this far.
|
On a lengthy losing run, but third of 15 at Wetherby (just ahead of Atomic Angel) reads reasonably well in the context of this race. Plugged on for fourth from out of the weights at Bangor.
|
Winner of Stratford bumper on Rules debut back in March 2019 but efforts since switched to this sphere have left much to be desired. Tries a new distance.
|
Merely hinted at ability in trio of novice hurdles and has failed to make a significant impact since switched to handicaps.

Forecasts
Tanora (9/2), Keeper Chris (11/2), Atomic Angel (15/2), Ali Star Bert (8/1), Akentrick (8/1), Get An Oscar (9/1), Lady Vinetta (10/1), Late Date (11/1), Now Is The Winter (12/1), Moidore (14/1), Fame And Hope (14/1), Event Of Sivola (22/1)
TANORA is going through a good spell at present, confirming her stamina for this far when runner-up over fences here 10 days ago, and she makes as much appeal as any of these in what is an ordinary affair. Keeper Chris and Ali Star Bert are a couple of potential threats.
