4/1
No impact in a couple of bumpers in Ireland for previous connections but has shown ability switched to hurdles for present yard and may well raise his game now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Runner-up sole start in points but that was back in 2020 and he hasn't shown much in 5 runs under Rules.

7/2
Belatedly produced something akin to his near miss in a Fontwell bumper last January when, equipped with first-time cheekpieces (retained), finishing fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Warwick (19f, good to soft). Each-way chance if able to build on that.

Just modest form over hurdles so far and sloppy jumping did her no favours on handicap debut when last seen at the end of October. Improvement needed back from a break here.

4/1
Left maiden/novice form behind when finding just one too strong on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m, soft) last time. Clearly plenty of room for improvement in the jumping department but he's unexposed and this step up in trip looks a good move.

Little to get excited about in bumpers/novice hurdles and sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap with a first-time tongue strap enlisted.

Some signs of ability in a couple of bumpers but she's shown nothing since switched to hurdles.

In top hands but failed to find any improvement for the step up to 20.4f/switch to handicap company at Southwell recently.

Little promise in a bumper and 3 completed starts over hurdles. Hard to warm to on this handicap debut.

Maiden who posted one of his better efforts when fifth in an 11-runner Southwell handicap in December. However, he misfired in first-time cheekpieces (retained) back at that course 19 days ago and now tried in a tongue strap.

Forecasts

Lyle View (7/4), Staff Sergeant Len (7/2), The Dream Goes On (4/1), Tracking Treasure (4/1), Diamond Days (4/1), Head Over Hinds (8/1), Nothinelsematters (8/1), Moran's Law (12/1), Mokoro (14/1), Polly Pi (33/1), Sonic Gold (33/1), Flighttothestars (33/1), Pooley's Promise (40/1), As Good As Can Be (40/1)

Verdict

The unexposed LYLE VIEW did the job well when opening her account at Southwell and she looks capable of defying a 9 lb rise in the weights. Diamond Days took a step forward when runner-up on his handicap debut, despite an error-strewn round of jumping, and he looks dangerous now moving up in trip. Tracking Treasure and Staff Sergeant Len are others to consider.
