Off time: 17:02 | Winning time: 5m 13.88s

Lone Star^t²⁰¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Williamson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 97| CD

20/1

Market Rasen winner last summer. Creditable second over 2½m at Uttoxeter when last seen in September. Claims if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Form: P12P62

Tyson²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Tristan Durrell| T: D Skelton| OR: 93

8/11

Maiden but hasn't been with Dan Skelton for long and caught eye when fifth of 12 at Wincanton (2m, good to soft) last time. Taken to build on that promise.

Form: 4889P5

Slack Alice³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen| OR: 91

18/1

Maiden in varied company but this is her first handicap hurdle and it wouldn't be a surprise were she to step up on her previous efforts in this sphere now.

Form: 420-745

Ushuaia Dancer⁶⁷⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Callum Bewley| T: Justin Landy| OR: 86| C

18/1

Absent since reaching the frame in a pair of handicap hurdles in May 2024. The betting should help guide as to what's expected on this belated return.

Form: 41P4/24-

Lady Phoebe²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Nicol| OR: 85

9/1

Modest winner on Flat who has yet to make a significant impact over hurdles, beaten 17 lengths when fourth in C&D handicap (good to soft) 4 weeks ago.

Form: P-76074

Glory Hights^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: C Grant| OR: 85

5/1

Hasn't finished out of the frame in 7 hurdle starts at this track, including second and fourth (to Fairly Fulling) over this trip in recent weeks. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: PP9524

Joto^t³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Alice Stevens⁽³⁾| T: John Dawson| OR: 75| BF

11/2

Is 0-8 over hurdles but she has finished a creditable third in handicaps on her last 3 outings. Likely to be thereabouts again.

Form: 53-8333

Rock N Roll Champ^p⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 73

20/1

Maiden but was a respectable third in a C&D handicap at the end of January. Remote fourth returned to fences at Sedgefield and quickly back over the smaller obstacles.

Form: P85434

Mr Rumbalicious^t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: William Maggs⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 71

40/1

Winless since 2023 and pulled up on last month's return from a break at Catterick. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 25F80P

Forecasts

Tyson (8/11), Fairly Fulling (11/4), Glory Hights (5/1), Joto (11/2), Lady Phoebe (9/1), Ushuaia Dancer (18/1), Slack Alice (18/1), Lone Star (20/1), Rock N Roll Champ (20/1), Mr Rumbalicious (40/1)

TYSON caught the eye last time and is taken to come good at the fifth time of asking since joining Dan Skelton. Recent C&D 1-4 Fairly Fulling and Glory Hights can battle it out for minor honours with John Dawson's Joto.
