9/4
Developed into a useful hurdler last term, including a 2m Haydock listed novice success. Solid placed efforts both starts chasing this autumn and he should be a factor again at this level.

Responded well to a first-time hood when opening hurdles account in a Fontwell novice (17.7f) in January and followed up on Wetherby chasing/yard debut 10 months later. Open to improvement and 4 lb rise could be lenient.

11/4
Dual-winning hurdler who showed benefit of opening chase run when landing 6-runner handicap at Wetherby in November. Wasn't foot perfect on that occasion but he gets handy age allowance so isn't one to take lightly.

Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Underwhelming when seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Kelso (21.6f, good to soft) on return in November and just out of the weights here. Hood left off.

17/2
Looked booked for second until idle rival fell late on here a month ago. Back up in trip and not an obvious follow-up contender from 3 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Notlongtillmay (7/4), Barrichello (9/4), Parliament Hill (11/4), Diamond State (17/2), Fete Champetre (18/1)

Verdict

NOTLONGTILLMAY picked up where he left off for his previous yard when a taking winner on chase debut at Wetherby, and with further progress on the cards, he looks the way to go. Barrichello and Parliament Hill are the other two on their correct mark and are feared most.

  1. Notlongtillmay7/4
  2. Barrichello9/4
  3. Parliament Hill11/4
