Bushypark^p²⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 100| C

10/3

Two of his 3 efforts so far this season have been creditable and he continues to edge down the weights. On the downside, his losing run stretches back to December 2023 and he's now at the veteran stage.

Form: F6P-647

Court At Slip^b¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Mr William Easterby⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 99

10/3

More than 2 years have passed since his last success but he's now 10 lb below that last winning mark and has emerged with credit on each of his last 3 starts, including when third of 11 at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) recently. Appealing claims.

Form: 54-5233

Fortunefavorsdbold^p³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: B S Hughes| T: Christian Williams| OR: 95

2/1

Another who has hasn't hit the target for a while but she runs more good races than bad ones overall and it was a pair of progressive sorts that beat her at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) last month. Down another 2 lb and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 2343-23

Bo Cruz³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Theo Gillard| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 93

4/1

Runner-up on completed start in Irish points and, having posted a couple of fair efforts over hurdles, hasn't disgraced himself switched to fences the last twice, latterly finishing third of 8 at Wetherby (19.4f, soft). Promises to be suited by this stiffer test and he's a live each-way candidate.

Form: 543-443

West Lawn²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: J Walton| OR: 71

8/1

Successful twice in handicap hurdles at Hexham back in 2022 but she's 0-15 in this sphere and others make more appeal.

Form: P-56456

Dysania^p³⁵

Age: 11| Weight: 10-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Bowen| OR: 69

28/1

Veteran whose sole win 30 career starts was gained in a Lingfield handicap chase back in November 2023 and he's hard to warm to judged on this season's exploits.

Form: P52-74P

Forecasts

Fortunefavorsdbold (2/1), Court At Slip (10/3), Bushypark (10/3), Bo Cruz (4/1), West Lawn (8/1), Azof Des Mottes (12/1), Community Rebel (25/1), Dysania (28/1)

The one with the most appealing prospects is FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD, who chased home a progressive type on her reappearance at Uttoxeter and again came up against some upwardly mobile types when third at the same course on New Year's Eve. This represents a good opportunity for the 8-y-o to cash in on a mark that is becoming increasingly attractive. Court At Slip has been knocking on the door and he is second choice ahead of Bo Cruz.
