Has looked one of her top stable's lesser lights to date, pulling up on 2m Kempton debut only 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Maiden Irish pointer who made a decent start to his handicap hurdle career when 11 lengths second of 14 to a very well-treated rival at Southwell (20.5f, good) last month. Respected.

Point runner-up but only no impact in maiden/novice hurdles and pulled up on Huntingdon handicap and chase debut in January. Given time since. Still early days but would need market support to consider.

Runner-up over this trip on Newcastle handicap debut in January. Below that level twice since but he seemingly failed to stay 3m last time and can do better back over shorter.

On a good mark on peak form but hasn't really been threatening to take advantage.

Poor form at best, pulling up in both handicap starts. A first-time visor needs to have a positive effect.

Might have just needed it after 4 months off when fourth on his 2m Hereford handicap hurdle debut a month ago. Has a low hurdle mark compared to his Flat ability and this longer trip might suit given he stays well on the level.

Showed a bit when fifth on 19.5f Huntingdon handicap debut 14 days ago. Longer trip may suit. Not discounted.

Maiden Irish pointer who has finished down the field in 4 hurdles for current yard, including a handicap last month. A subsequent wind op needs to have had a transformative effect.

Overall record an uninspiring one and ran no sort of race when last seen at Southwell (20.5, soft) in December. Can only be watched unless the market says otherwise.

Unplaced in points and well beaten on his completed start over hurdles. Makes handicap debut from well out of the weights.

Forecasts

Dixie Cowboy (11/4), Ushuaia Dancer (5/1), Nothinelsematters (11/2), My Girl Katie (7/1), Molly's Third Man (7/1), Mullys Choice (10/1), Grandmaster Flash (10/1), By The Grace (16/1), No More No (22/1), Mistertommyshelby (22/1), Scout Master (50/1)

Verdict

Brian Hughes retains the ride on USHUAIA DANCER who is given another chance to show he's on a favourable mark back over shorter. Dixie Cowboy was best of the rest behind a handicap blot at Southwell recently and is second choice ahead of Grandmaster Flash, whose Flat form suggests he might benefit from this step up in distance.
