11/2
Dual winner on the Flat at up to 13f and bettered previous hurdles efforts when third on handicap debut in this sphere (also first run for new yard) at Fakenham (2m, good to soft). However, that will need improving upon if he's to emerge on top here.

Well held in a bumper and 3 maiden hurdles, but much more like it when coming home in fourth under a hands-and-heels ride on handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft). First-time hood he sported that day is retained and he's one to consider off the same mark.

4/1
Missed whole of 2024/25 jumps season, but resumes in this sphere on a potentially handy mark having won a Flat handicap in decisive fashion at Leicester (11.8f, soft) back from a year off last month. High on the shortlist.

14/1
Maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited on handicap debut when third of 4 over this C&D in June. However, he failed to build on that back from a break at Fakenham last month and will probably have to wait a bit longer for that elusive first taste of success.

7/1
Fair winner on the Flat and while she has yet to get her head in front over hurdles, she has found just one too good in handicaps at Uttoxeter and Leicester the last twice, latterly going agonisingly close despite refusing to settle. Definite claims off the same mark.

5/2
Heading back in the right direction for this yard, shedding maiden tag in 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in October. Another good effort in that sphere at Newcastle last month and no surprise to see him make a quick return to hurdles following an early unseat in a Sedgefield handicap chase recently.

Free-going sort produced his best effort over hurdles when third in the mud at Wetherby in March 2024. However, pulled up on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts and it's best to look elsewhere.

13/2
Hard puller who took a step forward on the back of wind surgery when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in September. Again took a strong hold when eventually departing 3 out at Fakenham next time and she's probably worth taking on from a win point of view.

Forecasts

Platenium (5/2), Johnny Boom (4/1), Secret Vino (11/2), One Million Dreams (11/2), Hello Sweety (13/2), Little Venice (7/1), Pottersmattyeeehaa (14/1), Lone Soldier (33/1), Celine Man (33/1)

Verdict

It remains to be see in JOHNNY BOOM will back up his recent success on the Flat back in this sphere, but the chance is worth taking given that this mark is a potentially lenient one. Secret Vino took a step forward on his handicap debut at Worcester and will be a threat if able to build on that, while Little Venice and Platenium are others to consider.
