Much improved when landing 2m handicap at Haydock. Didn't get home upped to 20f when good third in Grade 2 there since, so he's a player down in trip/class here.

Fairly useful hurdler who has taken her form up a notch over fences, landing 2m listed chase at Leicester before creditable third in similar event at Huntingdon. Considered.

Hasn't always looked straightforward, but has done little wrong since sent chasing, winning at Wincanton and in front when falling 2 out over C&D in race won by Goa Lil last time. Set to go well.

Opened his chasing account at Ayr in November and has continued in good form, runner-up in 2m Newcastle handicap last month. Since had wind op, and he's well in the mix for yard among the winners.

C&D winner but his run of excellent form ended when last of 4 in 2m handicap chase at Warwick 36 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

C&D winner (left in front by Amarillo Sky's fall) last month. Fourth of 8 in handicap at Cheltenham (20.6f) 22 days ago. Not discounted eased 1 lb now.

Course winner over hurdles, but he's yet to fully convince over fences, blinkered when runner-up to Goa Lil over C&D last month, making little impression. Needs to step forward in this company.

Forecasts

Shakem Up'arry (11/4), Amarillo Sky (3/1), Dreams Of Home (5/1), Goa Lil (11/2), Maskada (15/2), Not Available (17/2), Son Of Camas (14/1)

Verdict

SHAKEM UP'ARRY looks attractively weighted on the form of his Haydock victory and will also be suited by this return to 2m so gets the verdict. In-form Dreams of Home rates the chief threat, especially if a recent wind op ekes out some improvement, while Amarillo Sky and Not Available warrant plenty of respect too in a useful handicap.
