Fairlawn Flyer^p¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 100

11/2

Successful from a 6 lb higher mark at Cartmel in summer 2023 and confirmed he retains plenty of ability back from a lengthy absence when fourth in Borders National (32.4f) in December. Hasn't kicked on from that in 2 runs since but this ease in class can help.

Form: 1PP-474

Super Citizen^p²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-13| J: B S Hughes| T: Lucinda Hughes| OR: 99

5/1

Largely consistent since bagging a Kelso hunter 13 months ago, not threatening front pair but still best of rest when third of 11 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f) 4 weeks ago. Should give another good account having eased a little more in the weights.

Form: 323333

Jessie Lightfoot¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 97| D

8/1

Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver last spring, scoring over fences at Taunton and Southwell. Held form well from higher marks thereafter but recent efforts have suggested she's gone off the boil, tailed off when falling 4 out at Ludlow 2 weeks ago.

Form: 53254F

Touchwoodexpress^p⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 95

11/2

Improved for switch to chasing, equipped with cheekpieces when an easy winner at Huntingdon (23.6f) in October. Good second next time and given a break since falling on latest outing at Taunton (26.2f) in December. Remains early days with him and one to consider.

Form: 49124F

C'Est Quelqu'un²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Alan Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: A B Hamilton| OR: 92

33/1

Recorded back-to-back handicap chase wins for Gordon Elliott last season but form has gone the wrong way since, merely plugging on when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (26.3f, heavy) 24 days ago. Others preferred despite sliding mark.

Form: P9P636

Dusautior^b1,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 91| BF

5/1

Built on previous promise when opening chase account from this mark at Bangor (3m) in April. Exploits distinctly mixed in recent months though, failing to justify his strength in the betting at Carlisle 16 days ago. Interesting connections now opt for sterner headgear and he's not dismissed lightly.

Form: 5533P7

Unblinking^t⁵¹

Age: 12| Weight: 11-2| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R Bevis| OR: 88

12/1

Veteran who gained breakthrough over fences at Hereford (25f, good) in 2022/23 season and was runner-up 3 times last season. However, he ended that campaign out of sorts and hasn't looked a winner in waiting in 2 runs upon returning so far this campaign.

Form: 72PP-54

Getthepot^t,p¹³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 87WS

16/1

Ended a losing run from much-reduced mark/under change of tactics at Worcester (23f) in September but he's very hard to catch right and he wasn't in anything like the same form when well-beaten tenth in handicap chase at Uttoxeter a month later. Absent/had wind surgery ahead of this.

Form: 6-88910

Jamesieconn^t1⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 87WS

7/2

Winning Irish pointer who never figured in trio of quick-fire hurdle runs, albeit not knocked about when fifth of 10 in qualifying run at Catterick (19.3f) for the latest of them. Interesting connections opt for a quick switch to chasing on handicap bow and the betting can guide. Also had wind op.

Form: P1-4805

Lady Pacifico^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: G Howell| OR: 70

50/1

Flat/hurdles winner who made a decent start for this stable when third at Leicester on chase bow in November 2023. Not built on that however, well-beaten both starts upon returning to action this term. Has it to prove with blinkers now refitted.

Form: 3765-5P

Forecasts

Jamesieconn (7/2), Super Citizen (5/1), Dusautior (5/1), Fairlawn Flyer (11/2), Touchwoodexpress (11/2), Jessie Lightfoot (8/1), Unblinking (12/1), Streamsforth Lad (14/1), Getthepot (16/1), C'Est Quelqu'un (33/1), Lady Pacifico (50/1)

TOUCHWOODEXPRESS has been given a short break since his Taunton spill over Christmas and, boasting a lower-mileage profile than most, he could well be the one to side with. Veteran Super Citizen is proving consistent and he's a threat, as is Dusautior who is equipped with blinkers for the first time. Jamesieconn is another to note now handicapping over fences/following wind surgery.
