Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 158| CD

3/1

Very smart hurdler who posteed career best when winning 19.5f conditions event at Lingfield 35 days ago by 1¼l from Darver Star. Landed this contest 12 months ago and a big player once more.

Form: 115-1F1

Guard Your Dreams²²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Jordan Nailor| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 146| BF

12/1

Already a dual winner this season and he posted another solid effort when second to Goshen in l2m isted hurdle at Sandown 22 days ago. This demands more, however.

Form: 3-13132

Monmiral⁹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 153

9/4

Unbeaten in 5 starts last term, but he reportedly finished lame when beating only one in Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on his only run this term. Sort to bounce back after his break.

Form: 1/1111-5

Allmankind^t⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 150| BF

3/1

Gained a fifth chase success in Old Roan at Aintree in October. Turned in a rare poor effort in Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon since and now reverts to hurdles with a bit to prove.

Form: 141-315

Botox Has⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 139| C

20/1

Useful hurdler who comes here on the back of good third in 3m handicap at Cheltenham 57 days ago. Course winner too, but it's hard to make a case for him in this grade.

Form: 6P-F823

Darver Star^b,t³⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 152| BF| D

11/2

Smart Irish hurdler. 13/8, good 1¼l second of 3 to Brewin'upastorm at Lingfield (19.5f) 35 days ago. Firmly in the mix once more.

Form: 6F2P12

Forecasts

Monmiral (9/4), Brewin'upastorm (3/1), Allmankind (3/1), Darver Star (11/2), Guard Your Dreams (12/1), Botox Has (20/1)

BREWIN'UPASTORM is enjoying an excellent campaign and fancied to prove too strong for smart Irish raider Darver Star once more and follow up his recent Lingfield success. Gavin Cromwell's challenger is a consistent sort though and seems sure to go well again, with the returning Monmiral not ruled out either after a break.
