7/2

Capitalised on a career-low mark to land 17f Sedgefield handicap chase from Six One Nine in November. Not in the same form there on Boxing Day but could bounce back.

Form: PP9-413

3/1

Good placed efforts last 3 starts but should have won at Sedgefield on Boxing Day, turning it in once hitting the front. Risky.

Form: 15-5322

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 90| CD

2/1

Good record here, winning this race in 2022 and gaining his first victory since in C&D handicap 5 weeks ago, responding well under this rider. Respected again up 4 lb.

Form: 622-421

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Ross Chapman| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 88

15/2

Offered more over hurdles at Kelso in October but hasn't built on that over fences. His jumping needs to improve.

15/2

Several creditable efforts in defeat over hurdles, not least when going close at Cartmel last summer, but yet to better poor form over fences, held again in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr 6 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Six One Nine (2/1), Beat The Edge (3/1), Contre Ordre (7/2), Dakota Moirette (13/2), Howyouplaythegame (7/1), Fathers Advice (15/2), Blue Bear (15/2), Augharue (8/1), Claret Dabbler (10/1), Limerick Leader (10/1), Brickadank (14/1)

SIX ONE NINE has C&D form figures of 12241 and is taken to follow up last month's victory here. Limerick Leader and Contre Ordre may emerge as a couple of the dangers.
