Front runner who resumed with win at Market Rasen in October before creditable third of 6 in handicap chase over C&D 67 days ago. Respected.

4/1
Winner over hurdles at Sedgefield in March. Shaped as if needed run on chasing debut at Kelso in October and duly stepped up on that effort when runner-up at Hexham next time. Open to further progress over fences, especially if brushing up his jumping.

Has taken well to fences, again runner-up under a positive ride at Musselburgh 31 days ago. Could face competition for the lead but big shout nonetheless.

Made frame all 5 starts in points but well held in maiden/novice hurdles this term. Quickly goes handicap chasing and could do better.

11/4
Successful sole start between the flags. Hasn't shown a great deal under Rules but step back in right direction off reduced mark when second at Warwick on belated return/debut for this yard, clear of rest. Needs considering off the same mark.

Long-standing maiden hurdler who makes little appeal ahead of belated chase bow.

Little promise in handful of starts over hurdles in Ireland and similar story in 5 starts for present yard, including chase bow in this headgear latest.

Muse Of Fire (11/4), Moore Clouds (3/1), Rolling Clouds (7/2), North Parade (4/1), Snowy Clouds (13/2), Zara's Universe (14/1), Divas Doyen (100/1)

Verdict

MUSE OF FIRE made an encouraging debut for this yard off his reduced mark at Warwick on New Year's Eve, beaten only by a subsequent winner and clear of the rest, and gets the nod off the same mark. Moore Clouds, Snowy Clouds and North Parade are potentially big threats, though all 3 are habitual front runners.
