Joltin N Jiving⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 119WS

11/2

£40,000 Irish point winner who confirmed Rules debut promise when landing Carlisle novice in good style a year ago. Struggled in Aintree Grade 1 next time but back on track when second on return/handicap bow at Kelso. Bit disappointing in better race at Haydock since but remains unexposed.

Form: 1218-25

Menaggio^t,v⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Billy Aprahamian| OR: 117

11/1

Fairly useful dual 2m4f chase scorer for Alan King but little impact in 4 runs for current yard, doing too much too soon in first-time visor and tongue strap back hurdling at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve.

Form: 2F-P7P4

Pigeon House^p²²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 117| BF

33/1

Dual handicap hurdle winner for Jessie Harrington in Ireland. Creditable second in novices on first 3 outings for Jennie Candlish but not in same form since.

Form: 22253-5

Kingston Narcissus^t⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: R Menzies| OR: 117

14/1

Opened his account in Sedgefield maiden hurdle last term and, fitted with a first-time tongue strap, he resumed winning ways in handicap at the same course on Boxing Day. In the mix up 5 lb.

Form: 21F-331

Marlacoo^t⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 114| BF| D

5/2

Bumper winner who opened his hurdles account at Ayr a year ago. However, has proved expensive to follow in handicaps since and was just a respectable third tried in headgear at Warwick latest.

Form: 13-3203

Born In The West¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 109| CD

9/2

Has found some improvement of late, winning 2 of his last 3 starts, both victories coming over further here. Needs considering back down in trip.

Form: 755151

Bathgate¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 108| CD

5/2

Took his resurgence this season up another notch when quickly resuming ways over C&D 19 days ago. Time was good so should go well again up 4 lb.

Form: 522141

Gardener^t¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 102

10/1

Disappointing 2024/25 campaign for Olly Murphy but step back in the right direction (fitted with tongue strap) on second start for this yard when third to Bathgate over C&D 19 days ago and potentially on a good mark if building on that.

Form: 345-U03

Forecasts

Bathgate (5/2), Marlacoo (5/2), Born In The West (9/2), Joltin N Jiving (11/2), Forest Blaze (6/1), Gardener (10/1), Menaggio (11/1), Kingston Narcissus (14/1), Pigeon House (33/1)

GARDENER stopped the slide fitted with a tongue tie when third (to Bathgate) over C&D on only his second outing for this yard and he's potentially on a good mark if building on that. Bathgate can make another bold bid again, with other last-time-out winners Born In The West and Kingston Narcissus also feared.
