Off time: 13:22 | Winning time: 5m 34.56s

Pleasington²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 127

10/11

Winning 2m hurdler who made a promising start in this sphere after 8 months off when close third here (15f). Quickly back on track when second at Newbury and worth another try at this trip.

Form: 117-352

Johnson's Blue²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 127

28/1

Eight-time winner over hurdles and left his reappearance run behind when only narrowly denied at Hexham In June. However, his subsequent efforts have been very poor, including back chasing 3 weeks ago.

Form: 0/02P87

Fine Casting^p³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 123| D

7/1

Gained a deserved breakthrough victory back over fences at Bangor in November. Clearly wasn't 100% when well held at Newbury 5 weeks ago and type to bounce back.

Form: 274-21P

Doyouknowwhatimean³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-10| J: Jack Hogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 123

18/1

In fine form for Dan Skelton during the spring, winning at Chepstow and Worcester. Positive start for this yard when going close at Uttoxeter, impressing with both his jumping and enthusiasm. Player.

Form: 12-13P2

Walk On Quest^t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 122

12/1

Much improved when switched to fences last season, completing a 4-timer at Kelso (21.6f, good to soft) in March. Ended the campaign with poor efforts at Uttoxeter/Perth but back to best when second at Newcastle last month. Not taken lightly.

Form: 11P6-52

Genois²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Benjamin Macey⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 120| CD

9/2

Justified support when taking advantage of a much-reduced mark over C&D 4 weeks ago. Well on top that day and remains on a handy mark but not sure to be in the same sort of form this time given his career record.

Form: 4P76-51

Hello Judge^t⁵⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 120

20/1

Likeable sort who has resumed on the up with 2m4f handicap chase victories at Carlisle and Hexham this autumn. Failed to fire at Newcastle last time but given a break since.

Form: P12-118

Ned Tanner^p,t²³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 118| D

12/1

Twice a winner last season and back to that level when third at Haydock last month, every chance 3 out. May come on again and has dipped below last winning mark.

Form: 214-733

Geryville^b²⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 115| CD

18/1

Gained second C&D win in this race 12 months ago off 2 lb higher but given his running only twice since, brushed aside here on Boxing Day.

Form: 25-5265

Forecasts

Pleasington (10/11), Genois (9/2), Fine Casting (7/1), Walk On Quest (12/1), Ned Tanner (12/1), Geryville (18/1), Doyouknowwhatimean (18/1), Hello Judge (20/1), Johnson's Blue (28/1)

PLEASINGTON wasted no time getting back on track when second at Newbury despite being unsuited by the emphasis on speed back at 2m and has races in him over this sort of trip. Doyouknowwhatimean made a bright start for this yard when second at Uttoxeter and is another to consider, while Genois remains potentially well treated on old form having won over C&D under this rider last month.
