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

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

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

Voleur De Terres25
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Miss C Dyson| OR:  79| D
Dual winning Irish pointer who caused a major surprise from 5 lb out of the handicap when winning at Leicester and confirmed that was no fluke when following up at Warwick last month, again impressing with her jumping. Likely to make another bold bid.

Maiden but shaped like the best horse at the weights when second in this headgear at Ffos Las last month, tiring final 100 yds after kicking on early. Big shout if over that.

Forecasts

Voleur De Terres (7/4), Getaway King (9/2), Steal The Moves (9/2), Girls Best Friend (11/2), Dyno Dave (10/1), Storming Nelson (10/1), Italian Spirit (20/1), Tech That (20/1), Thickthorn Tom (25/1), The Moonlight Man (33/1), Arctic Stream (33/1), Sans Of Gold (100/1), Alderley Charlie (100/1)

Verdict

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.
