15/8

Made a winning return in 3m1f Cheltenham handicap chase in October but saw his run of good form come to an end when pulled up in Welsh National at Chepstow over Christmas. Fared no better in Edinburgh National at Musselburgh since but this represents a big drop in class.

Form: 3-145PP

Northern Poet³⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Tabitha Worsley| T: N J Gifford| OR: 117| D

5/1

Recorded a hat-trick switched to fences in the second half of 2022/23. Lightly raced since but mark is fair and he was denied only by an improving sort at Plumpton on return. Too bad to be true there since so expected to bounce back.

Form: P55-22P

Supervisor¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-6| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 115| D

17/2

Twice a winner last season and returned with a solid performance when runner-up in 4-runner event at Warwick (3m, soft) in December. Let down by jumping both starts since but shaped as if still in form.

Form: 416-2UU

Dr Kananga^p³⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-4| J: Joe Anderson| T: Ben Clarke| OR: 113| D

7/2

None too reliable (prone to mistakes over fences) and well held at Lingfield last time after a decent return at Sandown. Headgear back on.

Form: 2PB4-6P

Siberian Star^p,t⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Shane Fenelon| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 99| D

3/1

Point winner who got off the mark at fourth time of asking for current yard when narrowly taking 6-runner handicap chase at Catterick in January. Very much caught the eye back over hurdles at Warwick 9 days ago and remains of interest back over fences.

Forecasts

Champagnesuperover (11/8), The Newest One (15/8), Siberian Star (3/1), Dr Kananga (7/2), Northern Poet (5/1), Supervisor (17/2)

SIBERIAN STAR has done well for current connections this winter and remains of interest back off his proper mark over fences after an eye-catching run over hurdles recently. Northern Poet looks the main threat, ahead of Supervisor.
