125/1
Fairly useful form in France in spring 2022 but not seen since pulling up in a Kempton novice hurdle for Nicky Henderson in March 2022. Has first-time cheekpieces added to a tongue tie he wore when last seen. Can only watch after such a long time off.

10/3
Ex-pointer who is still unexposed as a hurdler and shaped well when 3 lengths third of 10 on his 17f course reappearance 4 weeks ago. The return to a longer trip will suit and high on the shortlist.

£65,000 buy after winning his sole point in May 2021 but seen only 3 times over hurdles in the 3½ years since, albeit showing ability remains this autumn. Handicap debut.

Fair winning hurdler who stepped up on her reappearance when runner-up over 18.5f here last month. The step back up in trip should be in her favour and respected under Pritchard.

Bumper winner who has been placed on all 3 completed starts over hurdles, returning from 11 months off to finish third on 21f Warwick handicap debut 31 days ago. Entitled to come on for the outing.

Notched 3 chase wins last season. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations back hurdling on reappearance.

7/2
Half-brother to Constitution Hill. Failed to really build on his bumper debut success during his time with the O'Neill stable but no shock were he to prove a different proposition for new trainer Dan Skelton. Has had wind surgery. Market support would look significant.

Lightly-raced maiden who made a positive return to the fray when third of 18 in 19.5f Chepstow handicap last month. Claims if able to build on that.

Fair maiden hurdler for Jessica Harrington but well held in 2 runs for Laura Horsfall, making jumping errors on Fontwell handicap debut latterly. Can only watch after that.

Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 12.5f) for Charlie Johnston but ended 2023 out of sorts. Yet to get near that level over hurdles, including well-held fifth on 15f Wincanton handicap debut 15 days ago. This significant step up in trip will need to spark improvement.

Modest maiden who was struggling for form when last seen at the beginning of 2023. Can only be watched after nearly 2 years on the sidelines.

Forecasts

Jaminska (3/1), Iris Des Issards (10/3), Land Genie (7/2), Baby Sage (9/2), Captain Boudet (5/1), Flash Gorcombe (18/1), Night Duty (20/1), Demilion (50/1), Confidential Gosip (66/1), Instant De Bonheur (80/1), Balkeo (125/1)

Verdict

The suggestion is LAND GENIE on his first outing for Dan Skelton, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Iris des Issards and Jaminska both arrive on the back of encouraging placed efforts here last month and can give the selection most to think about.

  1. Land Genie7/2
  2. Iris Des Issards10/3
  3. Jaminska3/1
