4/6

Made all in Market Rasen handicap (16.6f) on reappearance in October. Not in the same at Windsor 3 months later, but got back on track when fourth at Kempton (21f, soft) last month. All 3 career victories on good ground and he's capable of a bold bid.

Form: 129-104

Court Cian²⁶

2/1

Has shown improved form since joining Stuart Edmunds, recording his third win for current trainer when scoring under Murray Dodd at Market Rasen (23.1f, good) 26 days ago. Respected with the potential of more still to offer.

Age: 9| Weight: 10-12| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁷⁾| T: S Drinkwater| OR: 110

11/2

Fair winning handicap hurdler who has been lightly raced in recent seasons, unfortunate when failing to complete at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) on his latest outing (stumbled soon after 3 out). Others still preferred.

Form: 22/75-8S

Forecasts

Court In The Act (4/6), Loverdose (5/4), Court Cian (2/1), Fontana Ellissi (11/2)

LOVERDOSE has been most progressive in handicap hurdles, winning 4 times from 6 starts and showing a good attitude in defeat when second at Newbury on his latest outing, so he is taken to continue his improvement and add to his tally. Court Cian has also been going the right way for his current yard and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Court In The Act.
