Bertie Wooster⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Freddie Gingell⁽⁵⁾| T: J Tizzard| OR: 110

5/2

In the frame all 6 starts in handicaps over hurdles, beaten little over a length when fourth in 12-runner event at Sandown (19.8f, heavy) 51 days ago. Good 5 lb conditional aboard and he has to be respected.

Form: 23-3234

Haiti Couleurs²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 115

11/8

Made the frame both starts in maiden points in 2021 and positive start under Rules when runner-up in a Chepstow novice and Ludlow maiden (both at around 2½m on heavy going). Understandably struggled upped to 24.3f in Grade 2 company last time and he's a leading player back down in class here.

Form: 42/224

Land Genie^t¹²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 109

5/2

Half-brother to Constitution Hill who made a winning start to his career in Huntingdon bumper last spring. Ran with promise in a couple of novice hurdles this term, albeit looking more of a staying type, and further improvement isn't ruled out stepping up in trip,

Form: 1-23

River Voyage²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss R Curtis| D

50/1

Took Irish point at the fourth attempt in 2022 but well held on hurdles bow at Ffos Las last month and pulled up at Ludlow since, Hard to fancy.

Form: P/541-6P

Seren Y Teigr²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams

200/1

Down the field in minor event/maidens on Flat and showed nothing on hurdles debut last month.

Simple Getaway¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| D

15/2

Fetched £180,000 after winning an Irish point but proved very easy to back and looked as if in need of the run when down the field in an Aintree novice hurdle in October. Bled when second of 3 at Wincanton last week and others make more appeal.

Form: P/1-92

Forecasts

Haiti Couleurs (11/8), Bertie Wooster (5/2), Land Genie (5/2), Simple Getaway (15/2), River Voyage (50/1), Meetmeatthearch (66/1), Seren Y Teigr (200/1)

HAITI COULEURS was biting off more than he could chew in Graded company last time but had made a pleasing start over hurdles before that and he gets the nod over Constitution Hill's half-brother Land Genie, who looks ready made for this step up in trip, with the consistent Bertie Wooster another player.
