5/4

Has made a solid start over fences, showing much-improved form in a first-time tongue strap when off the mark at Warwick 4 weeks ago. Remains one to keep on the right side of.

Darebin⁵⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: Rob Hargreaves⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 95| CD

10/1

C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Sandown (15.5f) 58 days ago but he's best treated with caution nowadays.

Form: 455-535

Per Vino Veritas⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 92| BF

10/1

Modest form over hurdles to date. Attracted market support on last month's Taunton reappearance but could manage only a mid-field finish. Switches to fences now.

Form: F6640-7

Dindin^b,t²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Fergus Gillard⁽³⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 92

28/1

Kept busy and scored by a wide margin at Warwick in September. Rather hit-and-miss since, not getting home under an aggressive ride at Plumpton (19.8f, soft) 27 days ago.

Form: 473256

Master Malcolm^p,t³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Harrison Beswick⁽³⁾| T: Mrs E Bishop| OR: 91| CD

7/2

Dual C&D winner last season (including this race) who built on return when third at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. Bold bid expected.

Form: P11-V53

Line Of Descent^t³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 93| BF

10/3

In frame in pair of juvenile hurdles and was a promising second to a well-treated rival in a handicap at Catterick on chase bow in December. Open to improvement in this sphere.

Form: 430-572

Forecasts

Unit Sixtyfour (5/4), Line Of Descent (10/3), Master Malcolm (7/2), Darebin (10/1), Per Vino Veritas (10/1), Dindin (28/1)

UNIT SIXTYFOUR had plenty in hand when off the mark at Warwick on New Year's Eve and is probably still ahead of his mark. Last year's winner Master Malcolm stripped fitter for his return when third at Huntingdon and is feared most.
