11/8

Hurdles winner last spring and successful first 2 starts switched to this sphere here in November/December. Good placed efforts both starts since and can resume winning ways back down in class.

4/1

Fair maiden hurdler who was all the better for return when third at Lingfield. Decent start over fences when second here (21.6f) but disappointed at Chepstow since and headgear now applied.

Form: 42-P325

13/8

Returned to last season's form from out of the blue to take advantage of a much-reduced mark at Wincanton earlier this month and backed that up when following up at Exeter 9 days ago. Penalty demands a bit more but he's clearly thriving now.

Form: P-50P11

Forecasts

Captain Claude (11/8), Lightonthewing (13/8), Leading Swoop (4/1), Game Socks (10/1), Uallrightharry (14/1), Call Off The Dogs (20/1)

CAPTAIN CLAUDE was surrounded by subsequent winners when runner-up at Wincanton 6 weeks ago so must have a big chance back down in class with his good record here an additional plus. The thriving Lightonthewing is the obvious danger.
