Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 131| D

15/2

Fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, soft, 40/1) 44 days ago. Struggling for form lately and needs blinkers to perk him up down in grade.

Form: 19/P260-

Caithness⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 120| CD

3/1

Comfortable all-the-way winner of C&D maiden/handicap hurdles in the autumn. Shaped as if back in form here almost 3 months ago and player if allowed a soft lead.

Form: 113606-

Carcaci Castle^p,t⁶⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 119| CD

12/1

Bumper/dual hurdle winner who has disappointed on his last two chasing outings but could get back on track returning to this sphere after a break.

Form: P/P023P-

Mack The Man^v¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Kit Alexander⁽⁵⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 118| D

5/2

Has reacted well to a visor lately and got back to winning ways with another strong-travelling performance at Perth 10 days ago. Leading claims in current mood.

Form: 78213-1

Well Educated⁵^{(ex 7)}

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonathon Bewley| T: G Bewley| OR: 106| CD

10/3

Confirmed previous encouragement when capitalising on a reduced mark at Hexham 5 days ago. This is much tougher under a penalty but he's still worthy of respect.

Form: 6336-51

Cracking Destiny³²

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 109| D

11/1

Well served by test of speed when capitalising on reduced mark at Musselburgh (15.8f). Has shaped as if still in form since but hard to know what he's capable of returning to this sphere for the first time in a while.

Form: 444143-

Mister Moodles⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: R Menzies| OR: 108

11/1

Made the frame both starts in bumpers last season and left hurdling debut form behind when landing a weak race at Doncaster (16.6f) in December. Progressed again when runner-up over same C&D next time then may have found the race coming too soon at Carlisle 80 days ago. Could get back on track.

Forecasts

Mack The Man (5/2), Caithness (3/1), Well Educated (10/3), Jungle Jack (15/2), Doyen Du Bar (10/1), Cracking Destiny (11/1), Mister Moodles (11/1), Carcaci Castle (12/1)

MACK THE MAN has thrived in a visor lately and had something to spare when scoring at Perth recently, so he's taken to go in again at the possible expense of Mister Moodles, who should get back on track after a break. Well Educated also merits consideration.
