Enzo D'Airy³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Shane Quinlan⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 127| BF

2/1

Ex-French hurdler who ran right up to his best on the back of a lengthy absence when gaining third chase success at Chepstow (19.5f) in December. Struggling some way out when well held at that venue since but he's had a 5-week break since.

Form: 3136/19

Sholokjack⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 125

11/8

Irish point/dual hurdles winner who, (on back of a wind op) was let down by his jumping when falling on return/chase debut at Uttoxeter early on last month. Still, far too soon to be writing him off for leading yard.

Form: 1/116-F

Parliament Hill²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 128

11/4

Dual-winning hurdler who showed benefit of opening chase run when landing 6-runner handicap at Wetherby in November. Unseated early on at Musselbugh (20.3f) 4 weeks ago but there could be more to come, particularly at this trip.

Form: 621-31U

Native Robin^p,t²⁴

Age: 13| Weight: 11-3| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR: 119| D

16/1

Veteran. Multiple chase winner (landed 4 of his 6 starts last season). However, he's been operating some way below his best in trio of starts this campaign and fair bit to prove despite a sliding mark.

Form: 114-704

Forecasts

Sholokjack (11/8), Enzo D'Airy (2/1), Parliament Hill (11/4), New Age Dawning (9/2), Sopran Thor (15/2), Hudson De Grugy (8/1), Native Robin (16/1)

A low-mileage dual winner over hurdles, SHOLOKJACK got no further than the second on his return/chase debut at Uttoxeter during early December but he remains with potential for a powerful stable and in a wide-open race could be worth siding with to prove a different proposition now. Parliament Hill and Enzo d'Airy are others to consider, along with New Age Dawning.
