3/1

Found some improvement fitted with hood when making all in 2m course handicap hurdle last January. Promising third in a C&D chase the following month and shaped a bit better than being pulled up suggests on last month's C&D reappearance after wind surgery. Entitled to strip fitter.

13/8

Posted best effort in this sphere when winning 7-runner handicap Kelso (good to soft) in October. Creditable third back there since despite a bad mistake 3 out. His tendency to hit the one is a concern but he might still provide the main threat to Powerofjet.

Form: 4149-13

Southey^t³²

11/2

Modest maiden hurdler. Fit from points but could only a manage a well-held fourth on C&D chase debut last month. Being dropped 3 lb can only help but it's still not enough to tempt.

Form: 461-534

The Jeweller's Pet^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: I A Duncan| OR: 94| C

9/4

Landed back-to-back course handicap hurdles over 20.5f last February. Hasn't managed to reproduce that form switched to fences this winter (well-held fourth at Hexham latest). Starting to look well treated on hurdles form but need to see more.

Forecasts

Powerofjet (4/5), Ballyfort (13/8), The Jeweller's Pet (9/4), Rock On Jet (3/1), Southey (11/2)

This looks a decent opportunity for POWEROFJET to follow up November's Newcastle success. Ballyfort is prone to the odd mistake but might still be the one for the forecast spot.
