Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 121

15/8

Useful winning chaser at best though has struggled for the bulk of this season, well beaten at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Mark continues to slide at least.

Instant Replay⁵⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: B S Hughes| T: B Ellison| OR: 113

3/1

Bagged his fourth win at Sedgefield in September. Not at that level since, jumping poorly back from 4 months off at Sedgefield 55 days ago. However, now 2 lb below last winning mark.

Form: 5U1035

Lucky Flight^t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 109| C

6/5

Losing run is mounting up (doesn't find much for pressure) but shaped as if still in good form when third over C&D 3 weeks ago. Big shout in this field.

Form: 342U43

Forecasts

Lucky Flight (6/5), Joke Dancer (15/8), Instant Replay (3/1)

All 3 arrive here with something to prove but INSTANT REPLAY has at least dipped below his last winning mark so gets the vote reunited with Brian Hughes. Lucky Flight is feared most.
