Wolfcatcher^p,t⁵¹⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 100| C

18/1

Winless since 2018 and he's been off for 17 months too. Market can prove a good guide for this veteran on his comeback run.

Form: 56/2526-

Victory Echo^t¹²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Thomas Dowson| T: M A Barnes| OR: 97| D

15/2

Pulled up on his last two starts over fences and back over hurdles at Carlisle (20f) when last seen out in October. Others appeal more.

Form: 5-PP35P

Ingleby Mackenzie¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Dylan Johnston⁽⁷⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 97

8/1

Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but well held this year, including for new yard. Has plenty to prove.

Form: 734846

Duty Calls¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Lewis Stones⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 94

9/4

Dual point scorer and also a winner over hurdles but he's yet to score over fences, never-dangerous third in 2m Ayr handicap 18 days ago. Not discounted off a falling mark though.

Form: 60-8333

Caboy^t,v³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 93| D

5/2

Winless since scoring in France in 2018 but he posted his best effort of the season when strong-travelling second of 10 in 2m6f handicap chase at Kelso 35 days ago, fading only after last. Player back at this shorter trip.

Form: 52-3642

Budarri^p,t¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: W Coltherd| OR: 77| C

10/3

Scored here in November but he came in only eighth of 11 in 2m handicap chase at Newcastle 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Unreliable type but his mark is easing.

Forecasts

Duty Calls (9/4), Caboy (5/2), Budarri (10/3), Victory Echo (15/2), Ingleby Mackenzie (8/1), Wolfcatcher (18/1)

CABOY took a step back in the right direction when runner-up at Kelso last time and, with this shorter trip also a plus, he looks the way to go. Ayr-third Duty Calls could emerge as the main threat now he is easing in the weights, although Budarri is another who could have a say from a reduced mark if on his A-game.
