11/4

Ran too badly to be true sporting first-time cheekpieces when tailed-off last at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) just over 10 weeks ago, weakening as if amiss. Has since left Willie Mullins and must have a major chance, provided he's back on song, in this company.

2/1

Responded well when opening account at Southwell in June and better than ever reverting to positive tactics when doubling tally at Hexham in September. Found out by a career-high mark at Warwick subsequently but fancied to make a splash in this.

Saligo Bay¹⁸

15/8

Won 2m Lingfield handicap hurdle in 12 months ago (second past post but awarded race after suffering interference) and solid efforts on next 3 starts in this sphere. Shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off when well held on Flat 18 days ago and has to be respected in this grade.

25/1

Useful Flat performer in his prime who opened account over hurdles in autumn 2021. However, it's all been rather low key since, including on the level in recent months for present connections. Best watched.

Vorashann^b³¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Coulson| OR: 119

15/2

Dual hurdles winner for Gary Moore in 2022. However, absent since down the field in a Kempton handicap on Boxing Day and probably best watched starting out for new connections here (sold for only £4,800).

Poor on Flat nowadays and well held both starts over hurdles. Easily opposed.

Forecasts

Saligo Bay (15/8), Allbetsoff (2/1), Foveros (11/4), Vorashann (15/2), Defan (10/1), Still Standing (25/1), Straitouttacompton (200/1)

A low-key start to proceedings but the vote goes to FOVEROS, who shaped as if amiss on final start for Willie Mullins but hadn't been disgraced in a listed handicap prior to that effort. Saligo Bay shaped as if needing the run on a recent Flat start at Kempton so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Allbetsoff best of the rest.
