Kantagua Du Larget24
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: R Patrick| T: C Boultbee-Brooks| OR:  99
Showed fairly useful form when winning a 4-y-o chase (in cheekpieces) in France. Has yet to come close to matching hat form on these shores but shaped with a bit more encouragement after 9 months off when fifth of 9 in Wincanton handicap 24 days ago. Merits consideration in refitted tongue tie.

Showed more than previously when third of 7 in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good, 25/1) 45 days ago. Into handicaps now and may do better still.

Feet On The Ground38
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR:  95
Produced her best effort to date when second of 8 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 38 days ago, sticking to task. Obvious player from a 2 lb higher mark.

Pearl Smoket43
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-3| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR:  88
Little impact in maiden/novice hurdles but may show more now handicapping up in trip.

Keep It Cool19
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-1| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR:  86
A fair maiden hurdler for Shark Hanlon in Ireland but has yet to fire for a yard renowned for reviving similar types.

After Many Daysp44
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: B S Hughes| T: H D Daly| OR:  85

Harthill18
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR:  82
Had missed more than 2 years since causing a big shock at Stratford and, unsurprisingly, shaped as if needing the run when well held at Huntingdon 18 days ago.

Time Was44
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-10| J: Joe Williamson(3)| T: P A Kirby| OR:  81
Maiden under Rules who shaped encouragingly from her reduced mark after 5 months off when second to a thriving stablemate in 9-runner handicap hurdle (14/1) at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 44 days ago, clear of rest. Must enter calculations.

The Last Drop21
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-6| J: Finn Lambert(3)| T: R T Phillips| OR:  77
Is struggling for form at present, finishing last of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Time Was (5/2), Feet On The Ground (11/4), After Many Days (6/1), Broadway Honey (7/1), Pearl Smoke (8/1), The Last Drop (10/1), Keep It Cool (12/1), Kantagua Du Large (16/1), Kates Choice (33/1), Harthill (33/1), Dontworrywegotthis (200/1)

Verdict

TIME WAS shaped encouragingly from her reduced mark when finding only a thriving stablemate too strong at Market Rasen on her return in November, so she's the percentage call to go one better. Broadway Honey comes from a family her yard has had success with and should have even more to offer now handicapping, with Feet On The Ground completing the shortlist following a good second over C&D last month.
