3/1
5/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 76 days ago, not ideally placed. First run for yard after leaving Roger Teal and not discounted with a first-time hood now applied.

11/2
Won at Brighton (10f) but operating below best on both Flat/over hurdles in recent months, fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive back in this sphere.

7/2
Lightly-raced maiden who looed well suited by the step up to this trip when third at Kempton (12f) in August. Disappointed on final start for Richard Hannon when eighth of 14 in handicap back at that track/trip in October but bounce back not ruled out starting out for new yard.

9/4
3-time C&D winner who hasn't figured faced with inadequate trips in recent starts, finishing last of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 27 days ago, never better than midfield. Return to this trip a definite plus from much-reduced mark and better showing looks on the cards.

Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Galway (7f, good to soft) 16 months ago. Changed hands for 1,000 gns in mid-2024 and gelded but best watched unless market vibes proved particularly positive.

12/1
Held his form well on turf during last summer, finishing runner-up 3 times either side of landing an 11.9f Brighton handicap in August. Offered little in trio of novice/maiden hurdle runs more recently but no surprise to see him make more of an impact back in this sphere.

12/1
Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft, 7/1). Off 18 months and another best guided by the betting on this occasion.

20/1
Maiden who not for the first time shaped better than the bare result when fifth at Southwell (11.1f) in October. Subsequent seventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago has to go down as disappointing but not ruled out from further reduced mark in a trappy contest.

Forecasts

Upepo (9/4), Extrication (3/1), Seventy (7/2), Voix De Bocelli (11/2), Come To Pass (12/1), Foinix (12/1), Queen Sansa (20/1), High Favour (25/1)

Verdict

This looks trappy so a chance is taken on 3-time C&D winner UPEPO, who looks sure to be suited by the return to this markedly longer trip and he's on a very dangerous mark if bouncing back. Foinix was in good form on the level when last seen in this sphere and is next best ahead of Seventy.

  1. Upepo9/4
  2. Foinix12/1
  3. Seventy7/2
