Fire Away^t,v¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 110| CD

9/2

Added to his tally at Cartmel last year but failed to justify support refitted with headgear in a much stronger edition of that corresponding event (21.2f, good) in May. Got a little bit closer at Bangor (20.3f, good) since and is lurking on a dangerous mark.

Form: 2P4-P44

I'm So Busy⁴⁶⁰

16/1

In good form during summer 2021, winning 2m Uttoxeter maiden/novice hurdles. Ended that season out of sorts and returns after15 months off with attentions switched to the larger obstacles.

Glajou^p,t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Adrian Heskin| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105| C

9/1

Fair chaser but he's not the most straightforward. Cashed in on a reduced mark at Worcester last summer but not scaled same heights on 4 of his 5 starts since, finding little at Worcester at Ffos Las (16f, good) 30 days ago. Remains easy to oppose.

Form: 1P44-74

Line Of Descent^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 105| BF

15/8

Has taken well to fences, winning handicaps at Stratford and Cartmel in recent months. Had his winning run ended at 2 but again ran well on the back on an 8 lb rise when runner-up at Uttoxeter (20f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Looks sure to go well again.

Form: 3331-12

Do No Wrong¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: J Kington| T: Justin Landy| OR: 94| BF| D

7/2

Hurdles winner at Sedgefield in August 2021. Lightly raced in the last couple of years but left his chase bow well behind when winning at Cartmel 4 weeks ago but failed to complete a fortnight on at Bangor (24f, good). Can feature with a clear round.

Form: 4/93-P1F

Annie Nail¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: H Cobden| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 83| BF

7/2

Got the better of a dual subsequent winner when opening chase account at Fontwell (19.5f) around this time last year and stepped up on reappearance when runner-up at Uttoxeter (20f, good) 18 days ago, albeit making her effort sooner than ideal. In the mix.

Form: 5/135-52

Line Of Descent (15/8), Annie Nail (7/2), Do No Wrong (7/2), Fire Away (9/2), Glajou (9/1), I'm So Busy (16/1)

LINE OF DESCENT was denied the hat-trick by a thriving sort at Uttoxeter 9 days ago, but this looks a good opportunity for Warren Greatrex's 5-y-o to regain the winning thread at the expense of Do No Wrong, who scored over fences second time up and is fancied to get back of track having taken a spill mid-race at Bangor last time. Annie Nail looks best of the remainder.
