Here We Have It^t⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁷⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 110| CD

15/8

Overcome poor position to win 7-runner handicap chase under this claimer at this C&D (good to soft, 6/4) 59 days ago by 1½ lengths from Treshnish, responding well to pressure. 4 lb rise is manageable and he's not taken lightly.

Form: 215P-31

5/1

Began the season in good heart, scoring at Hexham in November either side of creditable placed efforts. Looked laboured at Kelso last time, whilst jumping issues also again reared their head. Will need to bounce back to figure here.

Form: 54-3123

Sainte Doctor^t⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: K Brogan| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 108| D

6/1

Scored 3 times over hurdles last season but has offered very little over fences. Again well beaten at this course (20.4f, good to soft) 71 days ago and she isn't one for confidence at present.

Form: 1-436P8

Mr Coldstone⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 102| D

14/1

Hinted at a revival on the back of a breathing operation when third of 7 in handicap chase here in December but failed to back it up at Catterick last time. Weak finishes are becoming regular and others make more appeal.

Form: 6-02P37

Ardmayle^t⁷¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Stronge| OR: 98| CD

15/2

Won over C&D in March last year and wasn't disgraced in a similar event on return 71 days ago. Only 1 lb higher than for that latest success and he's shortlisted.

Form: 35912-4

Onesoc¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 98| CD

7/2

Won handicap hurdle over 16f here in the summer. Not yet matched that form in a pair of starts over fences but has been strong in the betting on both occasions and he may well do better.

Form: 521853

Gaelic Thunder^b,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Bryan Carver| T: C Honour| OR: 75

11/1

Eighteen-race maiden responded well to an aggressive ride when second at Taunton on his penultimate outing. Not yet asked for effort when unseating at Hereford last time and he's not discounted despite racing from out of the weights.

Form: 26432U

Forecasts

Here We Have It (15/8), Onesoc (7/2), Treshnish (5/1), Sainte Doctor (6/1), Gabriel's Getaway (7/1), Ardmayle (15/2), Gaelic Thunder (11/1), Mr Coldstone (14/1)

HERE WE HAVE IT did remarkably well to overcome interference at a vital stage over C&D last time and shouldn't find a 4 lb rise enough to stop him. Fellow C&D winner Ardmayle ran respectably on his return and is entitled to be sharper here, whilst the suspicion remains that Onesoc is capable of a better effort over fences.
