Rauzan²²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 112

66/1

Fairly useful at his best, but well held final run for Eoin Doyle in September (subsequently sold for £11,000) and hasn't troubled the judge in a trio of runs for present connections.

Form: 540-956

Klitschko^t⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 12-1| J: B S Hughes| T: Lucinda Hughes| OR: 111

12/1

Back to winning ways at Sedgefield in March (16.8f). Below that form since, not looking the easiest of rides when third of 7 in 2m Doncaster handicap in November. Needs to step forward after a break.

Form: 410-533

Sun Lady Marine²²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: Paula Smith| OR: 110

150/1

Successful over hurdles in France in July 2024 and picked up for €25,556 after narrowly losing out in a chasing claimer at Compiegne in May. Pulled up on yard bow in 2m handicap hurdle at Haydock 22 days ago though so has it to prove now.

Form: 5P8-32P

Singapore Trip^t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 104

10/1

Resumed winning ways at Wetherby on his return and has continued in good form, fourth of 14 over C&D 24 days ago. No reasn why he won't go well again.

Form: 6-91334

Les's Legacy^t,p⁷⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 104

50/1

Scored at Hexham in June but well held under a change of tactics when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 75 days ago, doing too much too soon. Possibilities.

Form: 5-251P6

Bathgate³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 104| C

11/2

Course winner who posted a respectable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Back up in trip and can make his presence felt.

Form: 952214

Inferno Sacree²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Murray Dodd⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 104| D

6/1

Winless since spring 2023, but he is knocking on the door, hassled for the lead for a long way when second of 8 at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Another prominent showing is likely.

Form: 253-322

Gardener^t1²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 104

80/1

Disappointing 2024/25 campaign for Olly Murphy and he offered little for his new yard when 11th over C&D 24 days ago. Lots to prove with tongue tie added here.

Form: 8345-U0

As Fast As Wind^h,t1²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Reed| T: T Davidson| OR: 103

12/1

Struck for the first time in this sphere at Kempton in October for Daisy Hitchins. Good start for new yard since, set too much to do at start when sixth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap 26 days ago. Considered with hood refitted and tongue tie added.

Form: 2-31336

Kelijoe⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 102| D

10/3

French bumper winner who got back on the up with the tongue strap swiftly dispensed with when landing 19f handicap hurdle at Doncaster last month. Up 7 lb but not taken lightly with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 2-82551

Hey Buddy⁵⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 102WS

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't discredited when sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good) 57 days ago. Since had a wind op and not ruled out stepping into handicaps.

Form: 5-2936

Thank You Blue⁶⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 101

12/1

Dual hurdles winner last spring and back in good form of late, ridden too aggressively when a fading fourth of 7 in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap in November. Weighted to go well after a break.

Form: 555544

Bollin Neil^t,p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Mr William Easterby⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 100| BF| C

10/1

Course specialist who comes here on the back of a good third of 13 in handicap hurdle here (25.3f, good) 20 days ago. Down in trip but must enter calculations.

Form: 124-253

Jack Hoola^b⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 98

7/2

On the up since fitted with headgear in handicaps this term, scoring at Huntingdon and Southwell. Posted a very good second of 14 at Exeter (2m2f) last month so he's a likely player once more nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 75-1212

Sam's Falcon²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 91

40/1

Lightly-raced 7-y-o who came in only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) 26 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 9560-P8

Forecasts

Kelijoe (10/3), Jack Hoola (7/2), Bathgate (11/2), Inferno Sacree (6/1), Singapore Trip (10/1), Bollin Neil (10/1), Klitschko (12/1), As Fast As Wind (12/1), Thank You Blue (12/1), Belvedere Blast (14/1), Hey Buddy (16/1), Sam's Falcon (40/1), Les's Legacy (50/1), Rauzan (66/1), Gardener (80/1), Sun Lady Marine (150/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but it could pay to side with JACK HOOLA who has thrived this term and is fancied to garner a third win on the back of a very good Exeter second. Doncaster scorer Kelijoe heads a long list of dangers, while a solid case can also be made for Thank You Blue, Inferno Sacree, Singapore Trip and As Fast As Wind in this highly competitive handicap.
