6/1
Progressive sort who had a wind op before posting a good third of 7 in novice hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 46 days ago. More to offer now going into handicaps. Can make presence felt.

1/1
Confirmed earlier promise when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) 38 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Up 3 lb but has the benefit of Cobden on board for the first time and should have even more to offer.

17/2
Fair 3m winner over hurdles who ran out of steam only late when an encouraging fourth at Lingfield on his chase debut. Badly let down by jumping in a similar contest there last time and remains on an interesting mark returned to hurdling.

4/1
Had to settle for a share of the spoils after proving wayward on run-in here (19.2f) on Boxing Day and ran to a similar level when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, soft) 16 days ago. Respected with cheekpieces on 1st time.

40/1
Prolific in long-distance chases in summer 2022 and shaped as if needing the run on back of 14 months in a handicap hurdle here in November. Early faller back over fences at Wincanton last time and she remains best watched for the time being.

7/1
Better than ever when making a winning return Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in November. Shaped as if still in decent form when fourth of 6 here since but might be vulnerable to some of the less-exposed sorts in this line-up.

50/1
Absent since finishing a respectable third in a 9-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good) in March 2022 and is likely best opposed after such a lengthy break.

Maiden pointer failed to improve for the switch to handicaps when down the field at Lingfield last time. Can't be fancied.

Long-standing maiden who has offered little in 3 starts following a lengthy absence. Stiff task on her hands from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Shuil Ceoil (1/1), Naturally High (4/1), Jemura (6/1), What's My Line (7/1), Bobalot (17/2), My Lady Grey (40/1), Set In The West (50/1), Glorious Mist (80/1), Miss Harriett (100/1)

Verdict

SHUIL CEOIL got off the mark in determined fashion at Exexter last month and Neil Mulholland's gelding is fancied to follow up, the booking of Harry Cobden an added benefit. Jemura is an obvious danger making the quick switch to handicaps after 2 promising qualifying runs, whilst Naturally High arrives in decent heart and can complete the placings.
