The Jeweller's Pet¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Alan Doyle| T: I A Duncan| OR: 96| CD

17/2

Landed back-to-back C&D wins in the mud last February, including this race. Hasn't managed to reproduce that form switched to fences this winter but could be dangerous if a return to hurdles sees him recapture his best form.

Form: 6P84U4

So Many Roads^t³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Charlie Maggs| T: D W Whillans| OR: 95| CD

9/4

Snapped a 3-year losing run when edging out Velvet Vulcan over C&D (soft) last month. While he hardly has the profile of one likely to follow up that was a well-contested race and he should remain very competitive off 3 lb higher.

Form: 34U-731

Jakana^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Conor Rabbitt| T: L Kerr| OR: 93| D

80/1

Two-time winner for Fergal O'Brien last winter. Second on Hexham yard debut last summer but has struggled since.

Form: 25795P

Burning It Up^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁸⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 93| BF

2/1

Second on Perth handicap debut last spring. Struggled in first 4 starts this season but back to form with cheekpieces added (retained) when close second at Newcastle a fortnight ago. The winner has gone in again since and he looks well treated off 2 lb higher if the headgear works again.

Form: 2-54P82

The Coffey Boy¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: William Maggs| T: I A Duncan| OR: 90

8/1

Improved at the second time of asking in handicaps when 12 lengths second of 8 at Sedgefield (17f, soft) 16 days ago. Stable also runs The Jeweller's Pet.

Form: 1-86702

Ck O'mara²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Midgley| T: R M Smith| OR: 86

66/1

Well beaten in 3 novice hurdles over 2m here this winter. More realistic chance now handicapping but Velvet Vulcan looks the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise.

Form: 095

Velvet Vulcan^h,t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Ben Smith⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 81

9/2

Modest 2m Flat winner who posted his best effort yet in this sphere when second of 19 to So Many Roads over C&D (soft) 39 days ago, just failing despite racing keenly and making his ground out wide.

Form: 4-4642

Lewa House^p³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-6| J: Jack Power| T: C Bissett| OR: 74| D

16/1

Chased home The Jeweller's Pet in this race last year. Also runner-up over fences at Hexham last March but has failed to recapture that form this season, finishing a long way behind a few of these over C&D last time.

Form: 282-560

Bray Dale³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Joshua Thompson| T: C Bissett| OR: 73

25/1

Third on 2m course handicap debut last March but hasn't reproduced that form in 3 course handicaps this winter.

Form: 753-05P

Forecasts

Burning It Up (2/1), So Many Roads (9/4), Velvet Vulcan (9/2), The Coffey Boy (8/1), The Jeweller's Pet (17/2), Big Storm Brewing (12/1), Lewa House (16/1), Bray Dale (25/1), Ck O'mara (66/1), Jakana (80/1)

BURNING IT UP was clear with a next-time winner at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and could prove the answer to this opener if showing up in similar form. Velvet Vulcan can turn around last month's C&D form with So Many Roads and give Nick Alexander's charge most to do. Last year's winner The Jeweller's Pet is another who could have a say.
