5-time course winner, latest win coming in November. Wasn't up to better company when eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 9 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly now returning to a more suitable level.

Winner here in September and ran at least as well when finding only one too good in 14-runner handicap at this course (7f) 23 days ago, clear of rest. Drop to the minimum trip not sure to be in his favour, however.

Never Shout Nevert7
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Kearney(3)| T: A McNamara| OR:  68| CD
C&D winner who probably needed the run on first outing since leaving Stephen Thorne when seventh of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this course (6f) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Tongue strap back on. Not taken lightly.

13/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, soon clear. Hit with a 12 lb rise but remains unexposed.

Forecasts

Prairie Girl (9/4), Send Harry (7/2), Buddy Batt (4/1), Tomarlo (5/1), Billboa (7/1), Inishmot Prince (14/1), Never Shout Never (14/1), Sporting Hero (16/1)

Verdict

PRAIRIE GIRL quickened clear in good style over C&D on her most recent outing and could well be capable of overcoming a 12 lb hike in the weights on that evidence. Sporting Hero will be more at home returning to a lower level, while Never Shout Never should strip fitter for his recent stable debut and is another to consider from a handy-looking mark.
