Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: D J Jeffreys| OR:  93
Fairly useful form over hurdles for Hugo Merienne in France but hasn't got near that level on these shores, showing nothing switched to fences at Wetherby in December.

Modest Flat maiden who posted her best effort in this sphere when third in C&D novice in November on her final run for Stuart Kittow. Weakening in fourth on yard/handicap debut at Catterick 16 days ago (took strong hold). Hood back on.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-1| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  87
Showed much improved form when runner-up twice in November, including when just denied at Leicester. Found her run of good form coming to a halt at Uttoxeter last time but that was on heavy going. Given a break since and can bounce back.

Forecasts

Plantaroma (7/4), Little Venice (3/1), Shalfa (4/1), Man Maid (13/2), Adaay Dancing (7/1), Irisante (16/1), Harthill (50/1)

Verdict

PLANTAROMA is proving expensive to follow but she has been keeping better company than this and is on a handy mark back over hurdles. Handicaps have probably been the aim for Shalfa, while Little Venice had excuses last time and can bounce back refreshed from a break.
