Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 95

7/2

Returned from a long absence to finish second in a big-field Uttoxeter handicap hurdle and backed that up on his return to fences when third at Leicester. Makes plenty of appeal in weak-looking race.

Family Pot^t²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Sheila Lewis| OR: 89| BF

4/1

Ludlow winner in November and good third next 3 starts. Bit disappointing last time but not taken lightly in this field.

The Boat^p⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 77

11/2

Justified strong market support when gaining breakthrough success back over fences in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (19.2f) in December but needs to shrug off a laboured effort at Taunton.

Form: 97-691P

2/1

Best effort when sixth in a 19-runner Exeter handicap hurdle but failed by a long chalk to back up at Uttoxeter. Makes chase debut.

Forecasts

King Orry (2/1), Skinflint (7/2), Family Pot (4/1), The Boat (11/2), Elmdale (11/2), Joly Maker (8/1), Out For Justice (16/1), Carumba (22/1), Catlow (25/1), Global Frontier (50/1), Pembroke House (66/1), Message To Martha (100/1)

SKINFLINT surely has a race in him off this sort of mark and makes plenty of appeal in a weak-looking event. Out For Justice is feared most back down in class ahead of Family Pot.
