5-y-o who proved steadily progressive in maiden/novice hurdles, off the mark at third attempt at Stratford (18.6f) in August prior to readily defying a penalty at Newton Abbot (21.5f) a month later. Had winning run ended on handicap debut in October but he could yet have more to offer now chasing.
|
Justified support from a falling mark to open his chase account at Doncaster (20.5f) in March and, despite a mixed round of jumping, matched that form when third at Wincanton 26 days ago, running on. Expected to be thereabouts again for yard in tremendous form.
|
Dual winner over hurdles last term (including here) and produced best effort yet over fences when second in 5-runner Wincanton handicap (20f) in February, some late errors catching him out. Best excused latest run over hurdles and not out of things from this mark back over fences.
|
Dual hurdles winner at around 2m who is a rangy chasing type but his jumping let him down in 2 starts in this sphere back in February. Does remain early days if a short break has had positive effect.
|
Bumper winner who displayed fair form when adding pair of hurdle victories (at around 20f) to his tally last season. However, has become rather disappointing over both sets of obstacles subsequently, last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton in February. Tough to assess.
|
Progressed well from a low base over hurdles, completing quick-fire 4-timer at Huntingdon (15.8f) in March. Quickly made amends for Sedgefield chase debut spill (looked likely winner) when making all at Plumpton (19.8f) 8 days ago and he remains open to improvement now starting out for new yard.
|
Multiple Flat/hurdles winner, successful in latter sphere over in Jersey in August and not disgraced under either code since, fourth at Market Rasen (20.6f) in November. Absent since and interesting what the betting makes of him now chasing on return.
|
Maiden hurdler who came good at the fourth attempt over fences at Fontwell (17.7f) on penultimate start and looked sure to go close when unseating last at Plumpton (17f) 3 week ago (saddle slipped on landing 3 out). Still, this does look a more demanding assignment.

Forecasts
Telhimlisten (5/4), Dreaming Blue (3/1), Name In Lights (10/1), Bagheera Ginge (11/1), Balko Saint (12/1), Full Of Light (12/1), Hector Jaguen (12/1), Hidden Depths (20/1)
TELHIMLISTEN has thrived on his racing in recent weeks, completing a quick-fire 4-timer over hurdles and quickly dispelling his chase debut mishap when making all in this sphere at Plumpton 8 days ago. He can continue the good work on debut for his new yard with further progress anticipated. Dreaming Blue for the red-hot Anthony Honeyball stable is next best, ahead of Hector Jaguen.
