Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 119| D

10/3

Twice a winner over hurdles last season and made a successful chase debut at Doncaster (20.5f) in December. Showed a good attitude when resuming winning ways at Newcastle last month and walked over at Haydock on Wednesday. Remains of interest.

Half Shot^b⁸¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-1| J: B S Hughes| T: I Jardine| OR: 117| D

14/1

Perked up by application of blinkers as he capitalised on reduced mark at Kelso in September. Backed that up with good second at Wetherby and shaped as if still in form when third at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. Respected.

Form: 681233

Ganapathi^p³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: A M Thomson| OR: 114| D

16/1

Losing run stretches back to June 2022 but went very close to ending that at Musselburgh 5 weeks ago, looked in control soon after last before headed on the line. 4 lb higher in better race now. Usual tongue strap left off.

Form: 576P42

Artic Row^t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 114| D

12/1

Successful 3 times at Ayr last season. Failed to complete first 2 starts this autumn but back on track when placed at Newcastle/Ayr. Easy to forgive next run so not taken lightly.

Form: 5-UF325

High Moon^v²⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 109| C| D

11/2

Mixed record for the last 2 seasons but was in the process of running well in this headgear when falling 4 out at Wetherby last month. Considered off the same mark.

Indian Louis^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 109| D

5/1

Better chaser than hurdler and back on track when doubling his tally over fences at Perth (21f, soft) in September. Good second next 2 of 3 starts, 7½ lengths second of 11 to Hello Judge in handicap chase at this C&D latest. Bit more needed to resume winning ways.

Hello Judge^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 109| CD

11/2

Successful 3 times over the larger obstacles last season and back to form in a race he won last year when making all over C&D last month. Excuses next time and not taken lightly.

Form: 7-4461P

Sean Og²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 105

9/2

Successful twice over fences at Cartmel (21f) last summer and looked as good as ever back from a break when scoring at Catterick last month. Respected up 5 lb.

Form: 219261

Whoshotthesheriff^p,t³⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 99| CD

12/1

Useful chaser in his prime. Lost his way for Phil Kirby though some promise for this yard, including over C&D last time (in process of running well in tongue strap when falling 2 out). Has work to do from out of the handicap here, however.

Forecasts

Yealand (10/3), Sean Og (9/2), Indian Louis (5/1), Hello Judge (11/2), High Moon (11/2), Taras Halls (13/2), Trac (7/1), O'Connell (10/1), Artic Row (12/1), Whoshotthesheriff (12/1), Half Shot (14/1), Ganapathi (16/1), Halpha Soleil (20/1)

Not the strongest of class 2s and improving novice YEALAND looks the way to go. High Moon remains of interest off his current mark so is next best ahead of the veteran Half Shot, who shaped much better than the bare result at Musselburgh on New Year's Day.
