10/1

Showed ability in a bumper and posted best effort over hurdles (albeit having set the slow pace) when third at Lingfield (23f, heavy) 10 days ago. Now heads over the larger obstacles and the market should guide expectations.

Form: F-382P3

4/5

Has become a most likeable type, scoring at Market Rasen in November (disqualified for rider's overuse of whip) before resuming winning ways over C&D in January. Ran another good race when bumping into a leniently-handicapped one last month and looks sure to go well again.

Form: 3-3D212

Grizzly James¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Ned Fox⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 96

11/2

Fairly useful ex-French hurdles winner who scored over fences at Hereford last spring. Got back on track when third of 10 in handicap chase at Plumpton in January but unable to build on that at Lingfield (20f, soft) subsequently. Must bounce back but can.

Form: P1F-P34

11/4

First run for 22 months and since leaving Paul Henderson when encouraging second at Fontwell (21.5f, soft) in November but went backwards from that when pulled up at Hereford a month later, errors as the race began to develop proving an issue. Not out of things here.

Form: PP34/2P

Forecasts

Mixedwave (4/5), Maasai Warrior (11/4), Committee Of One (5/1), Grizzly James (11/2), Emotional Memories (10/1), Mackie Dee (10/1)

This can go to MIXEDWAVE, who continues to go from strength to strength this term and Pam Sly's most likeable 7-y-o can notch a fourth success over the larger obstacles. Venetia Williams has had a couple of winners this week and her Grizzly James may emerge as the main danger if able to leave a disappointing effort behind at Lingfield last month, with Committee of One rounding off the shortlist.
