5/4
Second hurdle success when seeing off 8 rivals (including Prince des Fichaux) over C&D (soft) on Boxing Day. Creditable close fourth of 9 over 23f at Lingfield since. This consistent sort looks sure to give it another good shot.

11/4
Has been in good form this season, finishing third in handicap hurdles on first 3 starts. Let down by his jumping back chasing last time but respected back over the smaller obstacles.

9/4
Fair maiden. Stepped up on reappearance effort when good third of 9 to Spike Jones over C&D on Boxing Day. Disappointed in a big field at Ffos Las since but every chance he can bounce back in this less competitive scenario.

Fair hurdler for Rebecca Curtis but absent for 670 days ahead of this return for a new trainer. Can only be watched.

Forecasts

Spike Jones (5/4), Prince Des Fichaux (9/4), Alkopop (11/4), Oscar Asche (18/1), Carlow Farmer (25/1)

Verdict

SPIKE JONES gets the nod to confirm Boxing Day's C&D superiority over Prince des Fichaux. Alkopop has a consistent record in handicap hurdles and should also be in the shake-up.
