11/8
Useful bumper/dual hurdles scorer who proved gutsy when making a winning reappearance/chase debut at Carlisle (2m) in November. Looked set to stretch his unbeaten record over jumps prior to falling 3 out in handicap at Ffos Las since and he remains a useful prospect.

7/2
Free-going sort who made a successful start to his chasing career in a C&D novices' handicap in November. However, rather disconcerting he took a backward step when pulled up at Newbury later that month, so subsequent 60-day break needs to have had positive effect.

125/1
Maiden who ran well when placed over fences at Ffos Las (19.4f) in November but in nothing like the same form either start since and this looks a tall ask back in novice company. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

100/1
Sole career success to date came in a 16.7f novice hurdle at Exeter on New Year's Day 2024. Exploits have proved decidedly mixed since, seemingly failing for stamina when fourth in handicap hurdle back at that venue (21.6f) 18 days ago. This no easy task now sent chasing.

6/5
Useful winning French hurdler who has made a good start in this sphere, again not see to best advantage when runner-up behind a subsequent winner at Ascot (16.8f) 39 days ago. Rates the type to do better again and he holds leading claims on these terms.

Forecasts

Stencil (6/5), Juby Ball (11/8), Palacio (7/2), Storming Nelson (100/1), Dj Pete (125/1)

Verdict

STENCIL again shaped with promise without being seen to best advantage when chasing home a subsequent winner at Ascot 39 days ago and rating the type to progress further in this sphere, he looks to hold obvious claims on these terms. Juby Ball looked set to extend his winning sequence prior to falling at Ffos Las 19 days ago and he comfortably rates the chief threat.
