11/10

Ended last term on the up over hurdles, including a 20.5f win here. Promising second in 21.5f Haydock handicap on chase debut/reappearance. Looks sure to progress and win races over fences.

16/5

Posted career best when making a winning return/chasing bow at Hexham (2½m) in October. Disappointed at Kelso last time but he remains on a fair mark and could well bounce back.

Form: 3262-16

Hashtag Boum²³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 120| D

7/2

Fairly useful winning hurdler who struck at the first time of asking over fences in 21f Sedgefield handicap at the beginning of October. Bumped into a smart prospect when second at Uttoxeter since. Likely more to come and respected.

Form: 2148-12

Lord Roco⁶⁵⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: J Ewart| OR: 113| D

28/1

Hurdle winner. Also runner-up 3 times over fences at the end of 2022 but off since pulling up twice at Carlisle in early 2023. Returns in quite a warm race and can only watch.

Form: 4222PP/

Ozzy Cosmo^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 110| C

16/1

Irish point recruit who landed a 2m course novice hurdle on Rules debut last December but fell both subsequent hurdle starts last season and made an inauspicious start to his chase career when last of 6 on Kelso reappearance. Should do better at some point but can only watch this time.

Form: 441FF-6

Step Above^t³³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 108| CD

17/2

Shaped well when third on his 2½m Perth reappearance in September but pulled up at Newcastle 2 months later.

Form: P375-3P

There was plenty to like about PRESIDENT SCOTTIE's chase debut second at Haydock last month and he's narrowly preferred to Ruth Jefferson's Hashtag Boum in quite an interesting novice handicap.
