Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 127| D

12/1

Winning Irish pointer and useful form over hurdles before he lost his way over fences for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Pulled up on sole start for Christian Williams 11 months ago and similar story on debut for new yard at Hexham (3m) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut with visor/tongue tie fitted.

Form: 154P/P-P

Minella Plus^h²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 127

6/1

Won three on the bounce over hurdles last winter and has taken to well to this sphere, landing handicap chases at Hexham and Ludlow (both at around 2m) this autumn. Struggled up in grade at Wetherby (15f) since and back up in trip now.

Form: 44-3115

Giovanni Change^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 124| D

16/1

Fairly useful hurdler who had a stiff task when down the field on the Flat at York in October. However, no real promise to glean from last month's chase debut effort in a Hexham novice (3m). Cheekpieces again the headgear of choice.

Form: 4P317P

Le Chiffre D'or³⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 122WS

11/4

Bumper winner who registered back-to-back novice hurdle victories at Hereford during late 2021. Absent since finishing midfield under a double penalty here (19.4f) late last year but in excellent hands and interesting if strong in betting now chasing on back of wind op.

Form: 31/116-

Rocky Lake⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 119

5/6

Lightly-raced winning hurdler who shaped with plenty of promise when staying on for fourth at around this trip on chase debut at Bangor (20.3f) in October. Has to be worth a look with that under his belt and progress expected.

Form: P2/152-4

Forecasts

Rocky Lake (5/6), Brief Times (5/2), Le Chiffre D'or (11/4), Call Of The Wild (5/1), Minella Plus (6/1), Mossy Fen (12/1), Giovanni Change (16/1)

A lightly-raced winner over hurdles, ROCKY LAKE showed improved form and shaped with plenty of promise when fourth on return/chase debut at Bangor recently and, with progress anticipated, he could be the answer. Brief Times is a danger, while Le Chiffre d'Or could do better over fences for Paul Nicholls.
