13/8
Ended a losing sequence with a career best in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good) in November. Seemed stretched by the step up to 3m at Wetherby last time but did enough to suggest he remains in good form.

Minor promise at best in bumpers. Showed more than first time up over hurdles when third in a Stratford novice in June but failed to repeat that effort back there next time. Up in trip for handicap bow.

7/2
Point winner who looks to have been brought along with low-grade handicaps in mind and all the more interesting if supported.

Well held in 2 bumpers and has shown barely modest form in 4 runs over hurdles. More needed on handicap debut.

14/1, possibly failed to stay when ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good) 14 days ago. Reverts to hurdling back over a shorter trip in a first-time visor.

Showed ability in bumpers but it's all been pretty low-key since switched to hurdles and she was pulled up on first start for this yard at Catterick last time. 3 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Let's Go Joe (13/8), Born In The West (7/2), Benefit Ben (11/2), Bridgetjoans (11/2), Devon Skies (8/1), Ebendi (12/1), Flighttothestars (33/1), Mr Globalist (66/1), Horizon Dove (125/1)

Verdict

LET'S GO JOE seemed stretched by the step up to 3m at Wetherby last time, but did more than enough to suggest he remains in good form and is fancied to get back to winning ways back over this more suitable trip. Bridgetjoans confirmed her return to form when third at Newcastle the previous month, while Born In The West is an interesting handicap debutant and requires close market scrutiny.
