15/2

Enjoyed a productive 2023/24 season over hurdles, winning twice. Finished a solid fifth on return/chase debut at Bangor (20.3f) in November and, having jumped better on the whole, not beaten far when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Windsor (24.2f) last month. Appeals as the type to do better still.

Form: F130-54

40/1

Multiple winner for Nicky Richards who opened account for present yard over 3¼m at Kelso in October, his stamina shining through in a well-run race. Wasn't disgraced at Carlisle next time but latest effort left much to be desired and others make more appeal.

Form: 55314P

Peejaybee¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 118| C| D

18/5

Successful 3 times over hurdles and notched second win in this sphere when landing a 7-runner handicap at Perth (2½m, soft) in September. Bettered that when a clear, close second to an in-form rival over this C&D recently and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 413242

Yes Day⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 116| BF| D

13/2

Point winner who landed a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in October 2023 and placed on several occasions since, including when third on return/chase debut at Warwick (2½m) in November. Disappointing at Southwell next time but will be a threat if on-song back up in trip here.

Form: 5237-36

Concetto^t,p⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 114| CD

4/1

Won twice last term and back to form following a couple of low-key efforts when chasing home O'Connell over a marathon trip here on Boxing Day. That rival boosted the form when completing the hat-trick at Sandown on Saturday and he's a live each-way player back down in trip off 1 lb lower.

Form: 515-582

Heard That^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 113

13/8

Fair maiden over hurdles who made it 2-4 in this sphere when scoring in decisive fashion at Huntingdon (2½m, soft) last month. Raised 7 lb for that but may well have more to offer as a chaser, especially now moving back up in trip.

Form: 42-P151

High Moon^p³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 111

12/1

Performed with credit on first 3 starts of present campaign, including when third of 14 off this mark at Hexham in December. Understandably struggled from 7 lb out of the handicap at Musselburgh last time and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: P-P5335

Forecasts

Heard That (13/8), Peejaybee (18/5), Concetto (4/1), Yes Day (13/2), Tanganyika (15/2), High Moon (12/1), Jessie Lightfoot (25/1), Universal Folly (40/1)

In light of what he achieved over hurdles, TANGANYIKA is likely to prove a good deal better than what he has shown in two starts in this sphere to date and he could be the answer to this competitive contest. Heard That has won two of his four starts since switched to fences and he looks a big threat, along with the consistent Peejaybee.
