Poor effort at Aintree last time but had recorded a string of creditable efforts in defeat prior to that. Type to bounce back.

Fairly useful form over hurdles for Dan Skelton. Left that yard after running poorly on his chase debut/reappearance at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations on first run for new yard.

Went extremely close to cashing in on a much-reduced mark on his return from 17 months off when second over C&D in October. Respectable 4½ lengths sixth of 9 at Musselburgh since.

3/1
Irish point winner who opened her Rules account in decisive fashion in handicap at Kelso (23f) in April. Badly hampered when sixth of 9 at Market Rasen next time and she could resume her progress after a break. Player.

Fairly useful chase/hurdle winner at best in France but pulled up in 2 outings for this yard 10 months apart. Brian Hughes up but could only consider if backed.

3/1
Steadily progressive form, getting off the mark at the fourth time of asking in 2½m Hexham novice when last seen in May. The unexposed 6-y-o likely has more to offer now handicapping after a break.

Won twice over 2½m at Perth at the end of the summer. Creditable fourth of 10 over 17f here in this headgear combination 19 days ago.

Forecasts

Harper Valley (3/1), Hashtag Boum (3/1), Prince Nino (4/1), Ashington (9/2), Theatre Legend (9/2), Hartur D'oudairies (18/1), Polisud (40/1)

Verdict

Unexposed HARPER VALLEY and Hashtag Boum might be the pair to focus on, with a narrow preference for the former who switches to handicap company on the back of his Hexham novice success in May. Ashington competes below a mark of 120 for the first time in handicap hurdles and is another who could have a say.

  1. Harper Valley3/1
  2. Hashtag Boum3/1
  3. Ashington9/2
