Cosmic Soul²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: G Sheehan| T: P Neville

40/1

Fair maiden on Flat for James Horton. Offered little on his Cheltenham hurdle debut last month but it was a Grade 2 so this is a more realistic assignment.

Form: 7

Dog Fox^h²³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Toby Wynne⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

16/1

Fairly useful 1¼m Flat winner for Ed Dunlop. Should have a future over hurdles for his new connections but he's up against a useful one here in Roaring Legend.

Form:

Kado De Joie³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

4/1

French recruit who was shown fair form in juvenile hurdles at Doncaster and Kempton in recent months. Will need to raise his game to seriously trouble Roaring Legend.

Form: 325

Medieval Gold¹³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond

28/1

Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 2m) for William Haggas. New connections acquired him for 25,000 gns in October. Hurdle debut.

Form:

Roaring Legend^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 123

2/7

Fairly useful on Flat for James Ferguson and promising second on both starts over hurdles, latterly in a listed race at Musselburgh. Hard to beat.

Form: 22

Forecasts

Roaring Legend (2/7), Kado De Joie (4/1), Dog Fox (16/1), Medieval Gold (28/1), Cosmic Soul (40/1)

ROARING LEGEND has shaped very promisingly when runner-up on both starts over hurdles and should make it third time lucky. Nicky Henderson's Kado de Joie is the obvious one to chase him home, although Dog Fox and Medieval Gold achieved enough on the Flat to think they could make an impact in a race like this if taking to hurdling.
