Horse A-Z
Runner-up in a point before (tongue tied) making a winning hurdles debut for new yard in 10-runner novice at Sedgefield (19.8f, heavy) 45 days ago. Has more to offer and holds leading claims.

Timeform
Left his hurdling debut behind when landing 7-runner novice hurdle (5/1) at Fakenham (20f, heavy) 12 days ago. Open to further progress and well in the mix.

Poor maiden on Flat and over hurdles, flattered when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR:  110
Finished runner-up sole start in Irish points and shaped well sent hurdling when third in a Warwick novice (19f). Failed to build on that when fourth over 2m4f here but he remains with potential.
|
Timeform
Winning Irish pointer who came in second of 5 in bumper (11/10) at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 16 days ago, running on. Much respected on his hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
Little show both runs over hurdles, pulled up in novice at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Others appeal more.
|
Timeform
Showed some ability when sixth in 2m minor event on only outing on Flat in France but tailed off on his recent Doncaster hurdles debut.
|
Timeform
Placed in 2 bumpers in France but only sixth both starts over hurdles at Warwick and Bangor this winter. Lots to find.

Forecasts

West Warhorse (5/4), Grand Albert (7/2), Let's Go Joe (4/1), Chatshow Tv (5/1), Jo Lescribaa (14/1), Jean De Monts (20/1), Book Of Verse (66/1), Great Warford (66/1)

Verdict

LET'S GO JOE has to shoulder a 7 lb penalty for his Sedgefield success but still looks the way to go with improvement very much on the cards. Chatshow TV could emerge as the chief threat if shrugging off a lesser showing here last time out, although Fakenham-scorer West Warhorse and newcomer Grand Albert could both also have a say.
