Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: David Bass| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 121| BF| D

5/2

Made a winning chase debut at Plumpton in September and backed it up with a solid third of 6 in handicap chase at Kempton (18f, good to soft) 40 days ago. That form has been franked so he's a likely player.

Form: 403-613

9/2

Point/hurdles winner who took chase record to 2-4 and enhanced good record fresh in process when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) on seasonal bow 26 days ago. Now his task is to build on that.

Form: 5/6135-1

Stormin Crossgales^t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: C J Todd| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 118| D

25/1

Unreliable sort for Tom George. Raced too freely on his yard debut when fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 17 days ago. Not ruled out back in this sphere.

Form: 6-12544

Grain D'oudairies^t1³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 117| D

6/1

Scored at Market Rasen in March and has held his form well since, third of 6 at Fakenham (2m, good) 30 days ago. In the mix once more with tongue tie added.

Form: 413-333

Noble Anthem¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Henry Brooke| T: A Keatley| OR: 115| D

11/2

Opened his chase account at Sedgefield in October and not disgraced when seventh of 8 to L'eau Du Sud in Grade 2 chase at Cheltenham (15.9f, good) 13 days ago. Shortlisted.

Form: 2-24137

Davidoc^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling| OR: 110| D

85/40

Point/hurdles winner who made a promising start switched to fences when a recent second of 6 in 2m4f Southwell handicap. Big shout for his in-form yard nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 451-232

Forecasts

Davidoc (85/40), Alien Storm (5/2), No Risk With Lou (9/2), Noble Anthem (11/2), Grain D'oudairies (6/1), Snowy Clouds (7/1), Sir Tivo (20/1), Stormin Crossgales (25/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which preference is for Ben Pauling's DAVIDOC who is fancied to build on his promising Southwell second and open his account in this sphere. Alien Storm can have a say too on the back of his good Kempton third, with Grain d'Oudairies and Snowy Clouds both in the picture too.
