Off 6 months before fair third of 5 in handicap over at Hexham in October. Ran poorly returned to hurdling/a longer trip at Kelso just under a month ago but return to chasing should help.
|
Hasn't shown much since joining present yard and while he was entitled to need the run back from a lengthy absence at Stratford in October, there wasn't enough encouragement in that effort to make him of serious interest here.
|
Winless since scoring over fences in France back in 2018 and not at best following a break and a wind operation over C&D last time. Could build on that in a first-time visor.
|
Dual 2m winner here last winter (both on heavy) and bounce back ed to form when runner-up to Lisloran over C&D last time. Should give another good account.
|
Modest maiden over hurdles but got his head in front at the second attempt in this sphere at Hexham (2½m, soft) in May. Proved that no fluke when runner-up over the same C&D next time and likely neeeded the run here returning from a break here on latest outing.
|
Off the mark over fences at Hexham in April and had bit in hand when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Ayr October. Let down by his jumping last time but should bounce back.
|
Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who continues to fall in the weights for current yard without looking like taking advantage. Thirteen runs since his only win back in March last year.
|
Fair bumper form for Keith Dalgleish and built on previous promise over hurdles when landing a Newcastle handicap (20.3f, good) in April. Satisfactory start over fences at Sedgefield a month ago and open to improvement with a tongue tie on.
|
Maiden pointer who left previous Rules form behind when landing a gamble over C&D last time, showing a good attitude. Can probably do better still.
|
Back-to-back wins in 20f course handicap hurdles to end 2021. Shaped as if needing the run sent chasing at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) in October and he should last longer today.

Forecasts
Lisloran (5/2), Warriors Story (10/3), Caboy (7/1), Sputnik (9/1), The Electrician (9/1), Ardera Cross (12/1), Punches Cross (14/1), Castlegrange (14/1), Shoughall's Boy (16/1), Without Conviction (20/1)
LISLORAN landed a gamble over C&D last time and there's scope for better still, so he takes preference over Warriors Story, who should improve for his chasing debut. Ardera Cross, who was second to the selection last time, often goes well at this track, so he's another one to consider.
