9/4
Placed on his last 4 starts, finishing second of 8 over C&D on the latest. One to consider with Harry Cobden taking the reins for the first time.

Running with credit of late, chasing home an unexposed improver at Fakenham (3m) on New Year's Day. Could hit the frame again.

Best run for this yard when third of 16 over C&D (good to soft) in a first-time visor 17 days ago, finishing to good effect under today's conditional jockey. Player.

Dual chaser winner at this time last year but has struggled so far this season. It remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles sparks him back to life.

Has shown a fair level of form at best over hurdles but made no impact in 3 handicaps starts towards the end of 2024.

Yet to win but shaped better than the bare result after 9 weeks off when third of 11 in 21.5f Exeter handicap on New Year's Day, going well until a bad mistake 3 out. Should go well.

Fourth in handicaps over C&D and at Chepstow last spring but disappointed in 2 comeback runs in the autumn. Remains to be seen whether he returns from a short break in better form.

Fair on Flat and over hurdles but has disappointed on both starts back from an absence this winter. Can only watch.

Fourth in a 20.5f Plumpton handicap last March but well held at Ffos Las 5 weeks later. This is his first outing for 9 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Runner-up twice in 2m handicap hurdles in June 2023 but has offered little in 4 starts since returning from lengthy absence. Lots to prove at present.

5/1
Has suffered heavy defeats in 3 maiden hurdles this season but a bumper third last winter suggests he has ability and handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. One to note in the betting.

Hinted at ability in his qualifying runs but made a disappointing start to his handicap career at Warwick on New Year's Eve. The cheekpieces he wore on that occasion are quickly discarded.

Forecasts

Two To Tango (9/4), State Of Fame (11/4), Grenadier Jed (5/1), Drash On Ruby (17/2), Getuptheyard (12/1), Ted's Friend (12/1), King Of Brazil (14/1), Impecunious (16/1), Senor Diaz (18/1), Kolisi (50/1), Joker Jack (80/1), Lucky Draw (125/1)

Verdict

The fact DRASH ON RUBY is 0-9 in handicaps doesn't make her one for maximum stakes but the way she travelled until a bad mistake 3 out at Exeter last time suggests she has a win in her from this sort of mark. State of Fame is another who shaped well last time and is second choice ahead of last-time-out C&D second Two To Tango.
