Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR: 129| CD

9/4

Made a winning chase debut in 9-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago, always holding on. Up 7 lb but this fairly useful hurdler is open to progress and merits serious consideration.

Form: 805-041

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 127| D

3/1

Took a step forward sent chasing after 6 months off when second of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, good) 55 days ago. Can build on that so commands plenty of respect.

Form: 1524-P2

Ukantango³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 121| D

4/1

Dual novice hurdle winner who improved further when second in Cheltenham Grade 2 last season. Posted a good second of 5 in handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f, heavy) 30 days ago on just his second start in this sphere so can make his presence felt.

Form: 2P30-92

Richhill^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 116

7/2

Irish point/hurdles winner who has started encouragingly over fences, third of 6 in handicap chase at Newbury (16.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. He's a player with that form working out really well.

Form: 3124-53

Chanceux^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Ralph| OR: 114| D

13/2

Dual novice hurdle winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 4-runner handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago. This demands more though off a 4 lb higher mark.

Form: F325-81

Onemorefortheroad (9/4), Parisencore (3/1), Richhill (7/2), Ukantango (4/1), Chanceux (13/2)

ONEMOREFORTHEROAD got off to a flying start over fences when a C&D scorer earlier in the month and can make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights with more to come now. Richhill also has better days ahead of him in this sphere so should ensure Neil King's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Ukantango and Parisiencore need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
