15/2

Won the 2021 Scottish Grand Naitonal but hasn't fired since, pulling up over fences at Cheltenham last month. Takes a drop in class returned to hurdles but has a bit to prove at present.

6/5

C&D winner on New Year's Day. Made a respectable return from 4 months off when fourth at Hexham in September. Off another 66 days since. Nicely handicapped if bouncing back to his best.

Latest win in hurdle at Cartmel in July. Just respectable showings at best since but dangerous to discount having dropped back to that successful mark. Cheekpieces back on.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: R Menzies| OR: 113

4/1

Showed himself well suited by staying trips when scoring over hurdles at Market Rasen and Catterick last season. Didn't take to chasing at Market Rasen last month but could fare better back hurdling.

Form: 7114-64

7/2

Consistent sort who won off 3 lb higher here in January. Looked rusty when sixth of 9 on Newcastle reappearance last month but well treated if bouncing back to form. All wins around 2½m but he has been placed around 3m.

Forecasts

Coolbane Boy (6/5), Court Dreaming (5/2), Latino Fling (11/4), Zafar (7/2), Schalke (4/1), Mighty Thunder (15/2), Snookered (17/2)

Sandy Thomson has his team in good nick so a chance is taken on COOLBANE BOY back at the scene of his win on New Year's Day. Donald McCain pair Latino Fling and Zafar have also tasted success here before and may give the selection most to think about.
