10/3
Won on sole outing in Irish points and stepped up on hurdling form when making a successful start to his chasing career at Market Rasen in May. Well held on return but quickly resumed progress/winning ways at Southwell 17 days ago, cruising clear. Big shout with more to come.

Largely progressive in handicap hurdles last term and positive start over fences in terms of form when third at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago, though he hardly looked a natural.

Landed 2m4f handicap chase at Newcastle in November last year but not at that level since, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good) 41 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Point winner who achieved a fairly useful level of form over hurdles last season. Disappointed sent chasing after 7 months off at Hereford last month, however.

Made most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in a Fontwell novice over a year ago and good placed efforts twice in the spring. Low-key start for this yard at Huntingdon on chase bow/return but entitled to come on for that.

Useful chaser at best but was badly struggling for form in the spring and failed to revive in first-time cheekpieces after 7 months off at Fontwell.

Landed 2m handicap chase at Newbury in February and had a wind op before posting a good third back there next time. Better for return when third at Huntingdon and not taken lightly eased another 3 lb.

Fair hurdler who made a positive start in this sphere towards the end of last season. Yet to get going in 3 starts this term, however.

Scored twice over hurdles last season, latterly at Fontwell (19.2f) in March. Well held both starts sent chasing this season, however.

4/1
Dual chase winner in France early last year and seems to have turned a corner since a summer wind-op, building on placed effort over hurdles to win 9-runner handicap chase at Worcester. Good second at Bangor next time before resuming winning ways at Hereford. Remains of interest.

Fair hurdler who readily surpassed opening pair of chase exploits when running out a dominant winner at Newcastle on Boxing Day. Soundly beaten on both subsequent outings though, so has a bit to prove now returning from 9 months off.

18/1
C&D winner who hinted at a revival when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) in October. Merely underlined his inconsistency at Wetherby 6 weeks ago, however, so the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Sageburg County (10/3), Imac Wood (4/1), Maclaine (5/1), Prairie Wolf (11/2), Sporting Mike (7/1), Pearly Island (9/1), Zestful Hope (12/1), One Fine Man (14/1), Family Business (14/1), Gentle Frank (16/1), The Paddy Pie (18/1), Ritson (33/1), Kap Auteuil (40/1), Slanelough (40/1)

Verdict

SAGEBURG COUNTY proved a class apart when making it 2 from 3 over fences at Southwell and remains one to keep on the right side of. Imac Wood has seemingly been rejuvenated by the return to chasing and rates the main threat ahead of Family Business.
