Is a long time without a win but ran creditably in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (23f, good) last month and has been dropped another 1 lb. Considered.

Good chase runner-up at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in May and posted decent efforts over hurdles this autumn. Disappointed returned to fences at Fontwell last time but could bounce back here.

Not proving the easiest to catch right and only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others appeal more.

Reliable sort who recorded a solid fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 21 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts once more.

4/5
Fair staying hurdler for the O'Neill stable and he made a promising start for his new yard on the back of wind surgery when a running-on second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) 25 days ago. Big shout now his stamina is unlocked more.

Opened his account at Ffos Las (23.9f) in May. Has never been a fluent jumper and fell last (running with credit in fourth) in 25f Hereford handicap 20 days ago. Not discounted.

Scored over 25f at Huntingdon in February but he came in last of 7 here on his return from 8 months off 41 days ago. Usual headgear goes back on now so no surprise if he got back on track.

Lightly-raced winning hurdler for Dan Skelton when last seen out in early 2023. Back from 19 months off with his fitness to prove for a new yard.

Course winner who has been off the track since a solid fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

Low-mileage 7-y-o who posted his best effort for his current yard when third of 8 in 25f handicap here last month. Possibilities.

Forecasts

Land Genie (4/5), Sporty Jim (9/1), Spitalfield (9/1), Hauraki Gulf (10/1), Jatiluwih (11/1), I'm A Starman (16/1), Chris Cool (16/1), Midnightreflection (18/1), Barricane (20/1), Grillon De Monty (125/1)

Verdict

LAND GENIE caught the eye on his first run for Dan Skelton when runner-up at Exeter and can go one better with this longer trip very much in his favour. In-form Jatiluwih is feared most off a handy-looking mark, while Barricane, Chris Cool and Sporty Jim also enter calculations.

  1. Land Genie4/5
  2. Jatiluwih11/1
  3. Barricane20/1
