Conceroe²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 110

9/4

Fairly useful in bumpers and quickly off the mark over hurdles, taking 20f Fakenham maiden in December. Didn't see out 3m on handicap bow at Wetherby but not discounted dropped back in trip.

Form: 520-315

Zyon^p⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Page Fuller| T: A West| OR: 110| D

7/1

Fairly useful 21f winner over hurdles for Paul Nicholls, but yet to threaten over fences, mid-race errors and held from 3 out at Market Rasen (21.4f) in December. Returns to timber now.

Form: 75-5534

Jumping Cats^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 108| BF

25/1

Got his act together to land handicaps at Fontwell/Fakenham at upto 20f in October. Well held from inflated mark at Plumpton in November and similarly well held on the Flat latest. Cheekpieces back on

Form: 55-P117

Aikenbreakinheart^t²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 107

40/1

Showed ability in maiden hurdles in Ireland and not given a hard time when chance had gone on yard debut at Plumpton (20.5f) in January. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping.

Form: 563546

What A Glance^p1,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: David Bass| T: David Dennis| OR: 106

11/2

Successful on debut for this yard at Worcester (20f) in November. Creditable efforts on 2 of his 3 starts from higher marks since and no surprise to see him give another good account.

Form: 451394

Hazard Collonges⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen| T: A King| OR: 105

16/1

Well held sole start in bumpers but he has showed some promise on 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles this winter. In excellent hands and he may do better now handicapping. Worth a look.

Form: 8-534

Getthepot³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Kielan Woods| T: F O'Brien| OR: 102

10/3

Successful from 6 lb lower mark at Ayr (20.5f) back in May. Had excuses in trio of starts since returning from a break, unsuited by the modest pace at Southwell latest. Mark has eased further at least

Form: 122475

Major Sting²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 100

7/1

Scorpion gelding who displayed some promise when fourth in a Chepstow maiden (19.5f) in October. Hasn't kicked on from that in 2 subsequent outings but handicaps more suitable now. Market may guide.

Form: 4P8

Equus Millar^v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: W T Kennedy| T: S-J Davies| OR: 97

11/1

Multiple hurdles/chase winner who showed first glimmer of promise for current stable when midfield in 11-runner Huntingdon handicap (20.6f) 2 weeks ago. One to bear in mind from career-low mark.

Form: 07-PP86

Forecasts

Conceroe (9/4), Judex Lefou (11/4), Getthepot (10/3), What A Glance (11/2), Zyon (7/1), Major Sting (7/1), Equus Millar (11/1), Hazard Collonges (16/1), Jumping Cats (25/1), Walk In The Wild (25/1), Aikenbreakinheart (40/1)

This looks competitive but it was hard not to be impressed with the manner of JUDEX LEFOU's chase success at Exeter from this mark last week and he could be the way to go after losing little caste in defeat at Huntingdon onThursday. Getthepot and Conceroe are others to consider, whilst Equus Millar is also worth monitoring from a career-low mark.
