9/1
Point scorer who struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in a Hexham maiden in December 2023 but has struggled in handicaps since, including switched to fences in recent months. Has something to prove at present.

11/8
Enjoyed a good time of it last winter, bagging 4 handicap hurdles at up to 25.5f. Offered something to work on when fifth of 14 in 3m Bangor handicap on chase debut/reappearance at the end of October. Off since but should have more to offer over fences for a yard which continues in form.

11/4
Winless since completing a chase hat-trick at the beginning of 2023 but has posted solid efforts in defeat on all 3 outings this season, on the latest second of 10 over C&D. Should go well again.

8/1
Landed a C&D handicap on heavy last winter but a mixed record since, down the field at Uttoxeter only 19 days ago. Needs a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) to spark an upturn in his fortunes.

Won twice here last season. Creditable third over C&D and at Haydock this winter and faced a stiff task from out of the handicap at Wetherby last time (treated as if still in form).

10/1
Stratford handicap hurdle winner in May 2022 . Not seen again until finishing an encouraging third of 9 on 2½m course chase debut just after Christmas. Evidently not the easiest to train but claims if he can build on that.

Forecasts

Hill Of Tara (11/8), Lazy Sunday (11/4), Nine Nine Nine (13/2), No Tackle (8/1), Rock Danse (9/1), Thirsty Farmer (10/1)

Verdict

HILL OF TARA should have more to offer over fences and may ensure that Lazy Sunday has to settle for another second-place finish over C&D. Nine Nine Nine is better than he showed in the face of a stiff task at Wetherby last time and is also respected at a venue which suits.
