Niceandeasy^p¹⁸⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 105| D

20/1

Dual-winning chaser in the first half of 2022 but jumping errors consistently proved an issue last year. Back over smaller obstacles for the first time in almost 2 years and is worth a market check.

Form: 1/5FP4P-

Nights In Venice¹⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Luke Scott| T: D W Whillans| OR: 105

8/1

Placed 3 times around 3m late last season, looking as good as ever when second of 6 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Newcastle (23.7f, good to soft). Off 6 months and has been raised another 3 lb but merits respect nonetheless.

Form: 746322-

Jem In Em^t⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Conner McCann⁽⁸⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 104

13/8

Bumper winner shaped well despite a barely adequate test when third of 8 in novice hurdle at this course (20.9f, good to firm, 5/2) 46 days ago, a patient ride not really bringing his stamina into play. Type to improve back handicapping over longer trips.

Form: 72376-3

Haveyougotmymoney^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Dylan Johnston| T: Paul Robson| OR: 96

7/4

Gained reward for several good efforts in defeat when landing 11-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft, 7/2) 25 days ago, staying on well. Very much at home over long distances and can go well again from 5 lb higher mark.

Form: 4-29321

Theirshegoes¹⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Lewis Dobb| T: A M Thomson| OR: 93

20/1

Took a step forward despite still doing plenty wrong under pressure when on handicap debut third at Perth and made the frame again at Newcastle next time. Respected after summer break.

Form: 48543-4

Onestepatatime²¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 92

8/1

Won twice over fences at Sedgefield in January and only narrowly failed to complete the hat-trick there in March. Unsuited by right-handed track at Carlisle on next start and is interesting from lower hurdles mark.

Form: 351126-

Dequall⁵⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Oscar Palmer⁽⁵⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 88| BF| CD

12/1

Largely consistent in defeat over hurdles in early-2022, running respectably when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, soft) when last seen. Best watched after 18-month absence.

Forecasts

Jem In Em (13/8), Haveyougotmymoney (7/4), Firth Of Forth (5/1), Onestepatatime (8/1), Nights In Venice (8/1), Dequall (12/1), Cosmic Outlaw (12/1), Theirshegoes (20/1), Niceandeasy (20/1)

JEM IN EM looks every inch the type to improve now tackling longer distances and Lucinda Russell's gelding is fancied to make a winning return to handicap company. Haveyougotmymoney has improved since switching to staying trips and rates as a threat in his bid to follow up from his Southwell success, with the consistent Nights In Venice another with sound claims.
