Getaway King^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Tom Broughton⁽⁵⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 95| BF| D

11/2

Irish import who has proved a different proposition equipped with a tongue strap for this yard, completing hat-trick at Lingfield in December. Disappointed at Plumpton last month but that was his first start in 11 weeks. Back up in trip.

Form: 4P-1114

Girls Best Friend⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 92

5/1

Made a winning start in this sphere at Uttoxeter in November and backed it up with a good second at Market Rasen. Produced a laboured effort at Ffos Las since but that was on heavy ground. Worth another chance.

Form: 5P5-125

Tech That²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 90

14/1

Maiden with just one decent effort over hurdles this season. Goes up in trip now chasing (runner-up sole start in Irish points).

Form: 3P-684P

The Moonlight Man^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Tickle| OR: 89| D

8/1

Winning pointer who's looked one with issues under Rules, typically failing to see things out when remote second of 3 at Ffos Las 16 days ago.

Form: 1-P4PP2

Storming Nelson^t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Lucy Gardner| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 88| C

4/1

Losing run is mounting up and yet to convince with his jumping in this sphere. Step up in trip may help.

Form: 345235

Italian Spirit^b1²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Megan Bevan⁽⁷⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 87

14/1

Has struggled since returning from a lengthy absence and not one to be interested in.

Form: P/3-8535

Thickthorn Tom^p⁷⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 85

9/2

Well held over hurdles and offered little sent chasing at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. In excellent hands, though, and may do better with Skelton back in the saddle.

Form: 778-76P

Arctic Stream^p²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Ned Fox⁽³⁾| T: R Bandey| OR: 78

22/1

Low-mileage 9-y-o who failed to make an impact in 4 starts over hurdles and well held switched to fences last 2 starts.

Form: 596-P66

Alderley Charlie^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: P Gundry| OR: 68

Forecasts

Voleur De Terres (7/4), Storming Nelson (4/1), Dyno Dave (9/2), Thickthorn Tom (9/2), Steal The Moves (9/2), Girls Best Friend (5/1), Getaway King (11/2), The Moonlight Man (8/1), Italian Spirit (14/1), Tech That (14/1), Arctic Stream (22/1), Alderley Charlie (33/1), Sans Of Gold (40/1)

VOLEUR DE TERRES confirmed her win from out of the handicap was no fluke when following up at Warwick and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Steal The Moves looked rejuvenated by the fitting of cheekpieces when runner-up at Ffos Las and rates the main threat ahead of Girls Best Friend, who might have found heavy ground against him last time.
