9/1
Expensive acquisition from points (dual winner) but clearly has had his share of issues and well held both starts in handicap hurdles. Off 9 months. Makes chase debut. Hooded for 1st time.

Generally failed to see his race out over hurdles but he's an ex-pointer and, having attracted support, made a winning return/chasing debut over C&D Just respectable third at Ffos Las 11 days ago and headgear now applied.

Burst into life under a marked change of tactics to score from 2 lb out of the handicap at Chepstow last week and looks well treated under a penalty.

Fair winner over hurdles but little impact over fences to this point, so hard to make a case for.

Handicap hurdle winner for Gavin Cromwell during summer of 2020 but disappointing over fences for current yard, showing nothing back from a long absence both starts this term. Makes no appeal.

Fair maiden hurdler for Alan King but has lost his form, well beaten in 4 runs over fences for current trainer this season. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

Point runner-up who confirmed previous encouragement over fences when an improved second to Greenrock Abbey (clear of rest) from out of the weights over C&D. Excuses at Warwick since so not taken lightly.

Modest form at best over hurdles in Ireland and no promise both starts for this yard, including on chase debut. Visored for 1st time.

Produced one of his better efforts when second in a handicap chase at Exeter on return in October. Mixed record since but latest second at Taunton was an excellent effort.

Forecasts

Valirann Gold (9/4), Greenrock Abbey (5/2), School For Scandal (6/1), Gaelic Thunder (15/2), Folly Gate (17/2), Madiba Passion (9/1), Ironhill (14/1), Treasure Dillon (66/1), Tremwedge (66/1), Luis Van Zandt (100/1), Dawn Wonder (150/1)

Verdict

VALIRANN GOLD looked well suited by the marked change of tactics when making all at Chepstow last week and looks capable of defying a penalty given how much he had in hand that day. Folly Gate was about to shed his maiden tag before unseating his rider at Taunton last month so is the obvious threat, while there wasn't much between Greenrock Abbey and School For Scandal when 1-2 in a C&D handicap in November.
