9/5

Resumed winning ways at Market Rasen last month and as good as ever when following up at Hereford 10 days ago. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

22/1

Dual hurdle winner but showed nothing on his sole start over fences a year ago and arrives out of form (reportedly bled when pulled up on the Flat 53 days ago).

Form: 5530-07

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C & A Pogson| OR: 79

7/2

Finally got off the mark returning from 6 months off at Sedgefield 9 days ago and claims off 5 lb higher if this doesn't come too soon.

14/1

Gained a third success over fences at Southwell over a year ago but more lows than highs since, though was at least a decent second at Catterick on his penultimate start.

20/1

Veteran Flat performer won on the level at Musselburgh in November. However, established as a poor maiden chaser so easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Pittsburg (9/5), Prospect House (5/2), Royal Max (7/2), Getaway Jewel (15/2), Grain Trade (8/1), Zara's Universe (14/1), Jackhammer (20/1), Vin Rouge (22/1), Fast Deal (50/1)

The thriving PITTSBURG can complete the hat-trick in a race lacking depth. Royal Max finally got off the mark at Sedgefield recently and is the obvious threat.
