Nikolayeva¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: David Noonan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 99

20/1

Fair winner at 17f on Flat for Mick Appleby. Similar form when placed first 2 starts over hurdles but proved a disappointment on handicap debut at Newcastle last time.

Form: 233

Lily Glitters^v⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 94

4/1

Responded well to a visor when off the mark at Hereford in November and returned to a similar level when third at Fakenham (23.4f) 43 days ago, going best work finish. In the mix with a repeat.

Form: 471953

Jungle Prose^p³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford| OR: 93

6/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020, though took a step back in the right direction in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f) 38 days ago.

Form: 4P-22P4

Wind From The West³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 92

28/1

From a good jumps family and showed promise in bumpers. However, little to get excited about so far over hurdles, so has plenty to prove now going handicapping up markedly in trip.

Form: 38-9P5

Set In The West²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: N F Houlihan⁽³⁾| T: R Rowe| OR: 86

16/1

Point winner at second attempt but has yet to really get going over hurdles, only fifth of 8 in handicap at Plumpton (20.5f) 24 days ago. Up in trip and needs to find more.

Form: 1-P6P85

Backinforglory⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: James Davies| T: A Irvine| OR: 83

2/1

Ran best race when second of 14 on handicap debut (5/1) at this course (20.7f, soft) 8 days ago. Bred to stay this longer trip, so respected off same mark.

Form: 3-08552

Darcys Hill^t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁵⁾| T: Joanne Thomason-Murphy| OR: 82

13/2

Tongue strap on for 1st time, returned to form when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.7f, soft, 66/1) 8 days ago. Up in trip.

4/1

Ran her best race this season when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 3 days ago, running on. Needs to back that up now.

Form: P-02564

Crystal Tiara³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 66

40/1

Forecasts

Backinforglory (2/1), World Trip (11/4), Ratoute Yutty (4/1), Lily Glitters (4/1), Jungle Prose (6/1), Darcys Hill (13/2), Call Blue (15/2), Brandisova (10/1), Set In The West (16/1), Nikolayeva (20/1), Wind From The West (28/1), Crystal Tiara (40/1), Katies Escape (50/1)

BRANDISOVA hasn't fired in 2 chase starts, but she's of strong interest now back over hurdles having chased home the unbeaten Love Envoi (recent Cheltenham Festival winner) on her final outing in this sphere in December. World Trip and Backinforglory head the list of dangers.
