5/4
Useful sort who won 3 handicap chases in 2022/23. Pulled up next 3 starts (bled on first occasion) but returned to form when taking advantage of lower hurdles mark at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago. The one to beat at this lower level.

7/1
Mixed record for Willie Mullins. Well below par when remote third in Huntingdon claimer on yard debut. Ran better when sixth in a handicap at Wetherby since but others are still preferred.

25/1
Promising novice hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2021. Pulled up in 2 chase starts for new yard since returning from a long absence and it's hard to know what to expect now back hurdling in a first-time visor/tongue tie.

9/4
Dual Flat winner in France and off the mark over hurdles in Huntingdon novice on final outing for Gary Moore in April 2022. Has shown he still retains a fair level of ability in handicaps since returning to action for this yard and he should be competitive down in a claimer.

Back to winning ways in first-time cheekpieces when leading late on in Market Rasen selling handicap on Boxing Day. Can fight it out for the forecast spot with stablemate Transatlantic.

Forecasts

Baron De Midleton (5/4), Transatlantic (9/4), Believe Jack (9/2), Foveros (7/1), Iddergem (14/1), Pozo Emery (25/1)

Verdict

If BARON DE MIDLETON is in the same form as when winning in handicap company at Market Rasen recently he should take a bit of stopping. Olly Murphy pair Transatlantic and Believe Jack can give him most to do.
