(5)

Ludo's Landing^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 75| D

Has a bit to prove following 2 below-par efforts but this does represent a drop in grade.

Form: 5073-55

(2)

Traila¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 73

Is threatening to find his form again from a much-reduced mark, faring best of those held up when fifth of 11 in a handicap at Southwell (16/1) latest. One to keep an eye on.

Form: 55P6-65

(7)

Market House^t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 71| CD

Dual C&D winner who turned in another solid effort when second in 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (10/3) last week. Seems sure to go well again.

Form: 215-532

(3)

Elemental Eye¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 67

Resumed winning ways at Musselburgh in October and matched the pick of his previous efforts on the all-weather from a less-than-ideal position over C&D later that month. Well held in a trio of maiden hurdles this winter ahead of a return to this code.

Form: 136017-

(6)

Golspie^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: P Morris| OR: 65| C

Dual winner in 2025 who was flying too high in 0-85 company at Newcastle (8/1) recently. Steps back up in trip and this is a more suitable assignment.

Form: 6-25565

(4)

Green Team^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 64| D

Successful 3 times in 2025 but offered little when 10th of 12 in a 13f handicap at Lingfield (28/1) on most recent outing, labouring under 3f out.

Form: 4957-60

(1)

Freddy Robinson⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 60

Value for extra when resuming winning ways in 6-runner handicap hurdle (7/1) at Market Rasen in December, having been denied a clear run before 2 out. Below par when last seen on the Flat but is the type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 380337-

Forecasts

Market House (9/4), Freddy Robinson (4/1), Traila (9/2), Elemental Eye (5/1), Ludo's Landing (7/1), Golspie (10/1), Green Team (12/1)

MARKET HOUSE ran another solid race when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and is the percentage call to go one better back at a track he goes well at. Golspie is a player back down in grade, with Traila another to keep an eye on having hinted he's on the way back on his most recent outing at Southwell.
