16/1

Fairly useful dual hurdle winner who was in the process of running very well (in third) when fell 2 out in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap chase 33 days ago. Merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark.

Form: 5284-3F

Magical King^b1³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 119

11/1

Consistent hurdler at up to 3m. Failed to build on chasing debut fifth when occupying the same position in 3m Doncaster handicap 35 days ago. Blinkers replace usual cheekpieces now.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 117| BF

9/2

Bumper/hurdle winner for Paul Nicholls. Off 9 months and shaped as if the run was needed for his new yard when a fading seventh of 9 in 2m4f Newbury handicap chase in December. Capable of better.

Form: 2/2234-7

Aviation^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Cannon| T: L Wadham| OR: 116

5/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler last term and has shaped with promise on back of a wind op this term, keeping-on third of 10 in 22f handicap chase at Windsor 17 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Form: 1P2-623

Hawaii Du Mestivel^t⁴⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 112

28/1

In fine form over hurdles when last seen out 15 months ago, completing a hat-trick in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap. Goes chasing on his comeback run with fitness to prove and the market can prove a good guide.

Form: 85/2111-

I Play County^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Bannister| T: T Lawes| OR: 110| D

12/1

Point/bumper winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Southwell (2m) last March. Had wind op before being pulled up in 19f Fontwell handicap 22 days ago so has it to prove now going chasing.

Form: 431/P1-P

Ignore The Door^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Harry Derham| OR: 109| D

18/1

Irish point winner who made a successful hurdling debut at Worcester (23f) in October. Not disgraced when third of 4 in 22f Windsor novice 32 days ago so can't be discounted starting out in this sphere now.

Form: 541-163

Moonshine Man^t³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 107

17/2

Hereford hurdle winner last May and largely running with credit over fences since, fourth of 6 in 2m4f Leicester handicap 36 days ago. One for the shortlist from an easing mark.

Form: P-12P24

Youdecide^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR: 97| D

5/2

Point/hurdles winner who shaped encouragingly on his first go over fences when fourth of 6 in 2m Warwick handicap 33 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Can take a step forward.

Form: 612-F44

Forecasts

Youdecide (5/2), Don't Tell Su (9/2), Aviation (5/1), Saint Anapolino (6/1), Moonshine Man (17/2), Magical King (11/1), I Play County (12/1), Il Va De Soi (16/1), Ignore The Door (18/1), Hawaii Du Mestivel (28/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but Harry Derham's IL VA DE SOI was in the process of advancing his form when falling two out at Uttoxeter last time and can gain a first win in this sphere off the same mark now. Youdecide rates a big threat if, as expected, building on an encouraging chasing debut Warwick fourth, while Aviation, Don't Tell Su and Moonshine Man all need factoring in too.
