Age: 13| Weight: 12-6| J: Miss Heidi Palin⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 125| D

13/2

Reinvigorated by a switch to hunters and fitting of cheekpieces last season, winning at Fakenham and posting a fine second in the Aintree Foxhunter (all under this rider). Got back on track in refitted cheekpieces when third in Taunton hunter last time. Player.

Form: U12-PP3

Dolphin Square^b³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-6| J: Mr D Maxwell| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 125| D

5/1

Boasts a good strike rate over fences/hurdles and, while he arrives on the back of a laboured effort over hurdles at Chepstow, he's capable of making an impact on his best form.

Form: 080-946

Super Citizen^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 12-6| J: Mr Nick Orpwood⁽³⁾| T: Lucinda Hughes| OR: 110| D

33/1

First run since leaving Eugene M. O'Sullivan when winning 4-runner hunter chase (4/6) at Kelso (23.4f, heavy) 20 days ago, straightforward task. This is significantly tougher.

Form: 77P45-1

Windsor Avenue³³⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 12-6| J: Mr J Teal⁽⁷⁾| T: J Teal| OR: 135| D

6/1

8/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Doncaster (26f, good). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Brian Ellison. None too reliable, but sets a good standard.

Form: P/P4P43-

Fairly Famous^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: T Ellis| OR: 124| D

11/10

Took off in points for this yard and made a highly impressive hunter debut when cruising to success at Cheltenham last month. Every chance he'll follow up.

Form: 1111-12

Sine Nomine⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr John Dawson| T: Fiona Needham| OR: 110| D

6/1

Has a likeable profile both in points and under Rules, already a dual winner in hunters. Solid effort between the flags in December and merits respect for all that this demands improvement.

Fairly Famous (11/10), Dolphin Square (5/1), Sine Nomine (6/1), Windsor Avenue (6/1), Bennys King (13/2), Polish (14/1), Super Citizen (33/1)

FAIRLY FAMOUS has thrived for his current stable and he's likely to go in again having produced an emphatic display to score at Cheltenham last month. Windsor Avenue has the ability to trouble the selection and Bennys King is unlikely to be far away.
