8/11

Bumper winner who showed fairly useful form when placed all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles last season. Taken well to fences this time round, building on Exeter fourth when comfortably seeing off 2 rivals in 2m Haydock maiden last month. More to come from him.

Form: 2322-41

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 125| CD

9/4

Strong in the betting returned to chasing for the first time in 19 months and belatedly got off the mark in this sphere in a punishing affair in C&D handicap (heavy) over Christmas. Solid record here but this is a bit tougher up 5 lb.

Form: 64-3241

Midnight Ginger⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: J Martin⁽⁷⁾| T: Andrew Martin| OR: 116| C| D

9/2

Reliable hurdler but she's come to chasing relatively late and didn't offer a great deal first time up in this sphere at Exeter a month ago.

Forecasts

Issuing Authority (8/11), Authorised Speed (2/1), Zambezi Fix (9/4), Midnight Ginger (9/2)

ISSUING AUTHORITY looks a promising chaser in the making and can follow up his Haydock success. Authorised Speed might be the danger if jumping better back at a more suitable trip.
