3/1
Yet another good advert for James Owen, his third victory of this season coming in the Durham National here (29.2f) in October, Creditable efforts on 3 of his 4 subsequent runs in that sphere and lower mark to operate from back over smaller obstacles.

11/2
Four-time hurdles winner who returned with fine placed efforts at Lingfield/Cheltenham. Probably in better heart than recent form figures suggest, fourth in a much stronger handicap at Sandown (23.5f) 19 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor ahead of this.

9/2
Dual hurdles winner who's been chasing this season, scoring in decisive fashion at Musselburgh at Christmas. Unseated early there next time, and interesting back over hurdles off lower mark.

40/1
Badly out of sorts over fences this season and stretching it to believe a switch of headgear will have much of an effect returned to hurdling.

10/1
Out-and-out stayer who ran his best race of the season when runner-up at Hexham (23.3f) in December. Sharp track seemed against him when a staying-on fourth at Catterick (25.3f) latest and, whilst this trip is worth exploring, his losing run stretches back to 2022.

7/2
Relatively lightly raced for his age and he confirmed promise of his Wetherby fourth under a positive ride when doubling his career tally in 7-runner C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, responding well. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid now equipped with cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Ivane (3/1), Ballin Bay (7/2), Dwight K Schrute (7/2), Forged Well (9/2), Spike Jones (11/2), Guernesey (10/1), Shighness (40/1)

Verdict

BALLIN BAY was well suited by the return to positive tactics (both career victories gained from the front) when running out a decisive winner of a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago and, still low-mileage for an 8-y-o, he could well be up to defying a 3 lb higher mark. Dwight K Schrute looks worth a crack at this trip judged on his latest Warwick third, whilst Forged Well is another to consider back over smaller obstacles.

  1. Ballin Bay7/2
  2. Dwight K Schrute7/2
  3. Forged Well9/2
