Fidelio Vallis^p²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 135

15/2

Took a decent pot at Musselburgh on New Year's Day 2024 and best effort since when fading in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Shorter trip will suit with cheekpieces back on and he's interesting from a reduced mark.

Form: 41-P676

Neon Moon^b,t⁹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Ben Bromley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 134| CD

5/1

Won C&D novice handicap chase at this meeting last year and took a good 3m handicap at Chepstow on return after a third breathing operation in October. Good effort at Ludlow when last seen (one blunder but essentially every chance). Goes well fresh and one to note.

Form: 1-31362

Golden Son^p,t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 132

8/1

Won Kempton handicap last season but patchy record overall since joining this yard from France, well beaten back there 4 weeks ago. This is easier dropped 2 lb at least.

Form: 16F-93P

King's Threshold^t²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 127

85/40

A breathing operation and/or the fitting of a tongue strap seemingly the making of him this year and he proved better than ever as he followed up from Huntingdon in a deeper race at Warwick 4 weeks ago, drawing clear. Good chance in hat-trick bid up 5 lb.

Form: 14-6511

Some Scope^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: R Hobson| OR: 126

14/1

Resumed progress when landing the 3m Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby on Boxing Day but poor efforts in competitive handicaps twice since, let down by his jumping in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Needs a revival.

Form: 4-P41PP

Rivers Corner^b²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 117| CD

2/1

Improved as he made it second time lucky over fences in C&D novice handicap chase earlier this month, first-time blinkers doing him the world of good. Up 5 lb in tougher race but can go well again if the headgear continues to have the same impact.

Form: 2-R7631

Forecasts

Rivers Corner (2/1), King's Threshold (85/40), Neon Moon (5/1), Smarty Wild (7/1), Fidelio Vallis (15/2), Golden Son (8/1), Some Scope (14/1)

KING'S THRESHOLD is the improver in the line-up and can land the hat-trick. Fidelio Vallis seemed to turn the corner at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and is interesting back down in trip from a reduced mark. C&D winner Neon Moon goes well fresh and is another to consider.
