Winds Of Fire^p⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Isabel Williams⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 121| D

12/1

Progressive hurdler last term and made all over fences at Newcastle in November. Disappointing on his last 2 starts so he needs a return to hurdles to spark a revival.

Form: 2-F137P

One For You^t⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 119| BF| CD

10/3

Winner of first 2 handicaps last spring. Good reappearance third at Newbury in November but needs to get back on track after 2 below-par runs since.

Form: 511-376

Breaking Waves^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: D A Jacob| T: H Whittington| OR: 118

12/1

Scored at Southwell in June but has reverted to his unwilling tendencies on his most recent outings, running a moody race when pulled up at Fontwell 3 weeks ago.

Form: 12270P

Made For You^t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Daire Davis⁽¹⁰⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 117| C

7/1

Won twice around 18.5f here last spring and added to tally at Leicester (2m) in November. Remained in form since and claims if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip.

Form: P51225

Father John³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: James Bowen| T: N J Henderson| OR: 113

12/1

Bumper winner who left previous hurdles form well behind when landing a Worcester novice (2½m) in September. Creditable third on Carlisle handicap debut in November but his 2 efforts since have been disappointing. Bounce back needed.

Form: 5P139P

The Vollan^p,t⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 112

11/1

Winner at Worcester last summer (final run for Charlie Longsdon). Step back in the right direction for new yard when fifth over C&D last month. Has dropped to 5 lb below that last successful mark. Needs considering.

Form: 813445

Friary Rock^h²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 108

10/1

Fairly useful jumper in Ireland, winning maiden chase in July. Good third in Gowran handicap hurdle in October (final run for Mouse Morris) but low-key start for current yard. Significantly back up in trip. Could only consider if backed.

Form: 93P877

Thirtyfourstitches¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 107| CD

13/8

Likeable front-runner who has a C&D success among 5 wins this season. In the process of running well again when falling 2 out at Fakenham 12 days ago. Player if none the worse.

Form: 24011F

Forecasts

Thirtyfourstitches (13/8), One For You (10/3), Made For You (7/1), Friary Rock (10/1), The Vollan (11/1), Breaking Waves (12/1), Winds Of Fire (12/1), Father John (12/1)

THE VOLLAN has dropped back to a good mark so it's worth chancing that he can build on a better run here last time. Thirtyfourstitches has had an excellent season and will be a danger if he hasn't suffered any ill effects from a recent fall at Fakenham. Made For You may prove best of the rest.
