Age: 6| Weight: 12-7| J: Cameron Iles⁽⁷⁾| T: T Lacey| OR: 96| CD

10/11

Winning pointer who came good over hurdles in C&D handicap 9 days ago. Did that comfortably and looks sure to make a bold bid to defy his 7 lb penalty.

Form: 1-63001

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: William Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 86

11/2

Got back on track when fifth of 11 at Doncaster (16.5f, good) in November but not in quite the same form when filling the same position at Musselburgh since.

Form: 6-34755

3/1

Dual winner for Neil Mulholland in summer 2022 and back on track for Micky Hammond when scoring at Newcastle and over C&D around the turn of the year. Likely to go well on hat-trick bid.

Form: P-69511

Wotyoudunnow Buddy^b1¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 85

22/1

Showed fair form on the second of 3 outings in bumpers. Little impact in novice hurdles but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. Blinkered first time.

Form: 3-7PP6P

Bleue Verte^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Lee Edwards| T: R Hobson| OR: 83

7/1

Showed ability when fifth on sole outing in France. Well beaten in maiden/novice hurdles on first 2 starts for this yard but shaped better than the result when fifth of 15 on her 19.5f Hereford handicap hurdle debut 18 days ago, leading for long way. Drop back in trip may help.

Form: 5-505

Forecasts

Letthedustsettle (10/11), Belle Na Bann (3/1), Lenebane (11/2), Bleue Verte (7/1), Turbulent Power (8/1), Wotyoudunnow Buddy (22/1)

LETTHEDUSTSETTLE won nicely over C&D last week and his 7 lb penalty is offset by Cameron Iles' claim so he could take a bit of stopping if coping with the quick turnaround. The hat-trick seeking Belle Na Bann may give him most to do ahead of Bleue Verte, who was better than the result on her recent handicap debut.
