In Excelsis Deo²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: H Fry| OR: 135| BF

3/1

Fairly useful ex-French winning hurdler. Easy winner on chasing/yard debut at Hereford in December but pulled up in Warwick handicap last month. Worth another chance.

Form: F13-1P

Jetoile^t⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: R Potter| OR: 132| CD

4/5

Useful form over hurdles (runner-up in Tolworth) and similar form over fences, though below-par fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f) 43 days ago. Still not discounted.

Form: 2-25324

Parliament Hill⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 126

9/1

Dual winning hurdler who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m handicap at Wetherby in November. Last of four at Lingfield last time though so needs to get back on track.

Form: 21-31U4

Dan Skelton's SAIL AWAY hasn't been seen out since gaining his breakthrough success at Warwick last May but goes well fresh so is taken to make light of his absence. In Excelsis Deo fluffed his lines at Warwick but had looked a good prospect prior to that so is feared most.
