18/1

Useful chaser at his best who took advantage of a slipping mark at Uttoxeter last July. Ran with credit in 3 subsequent starts in the autumn. Claims if ready to roll after 6 months off.

4/1

In fine form for Dan Skelton last spring, winning 2m handicap chases at Chepstow and Worcester. Positive start for this yard when going close at Uttoxeter (2½m) in December but pulled up on next 2 starts and latest C&D fourth was no major step back in the right direction.

11/2

Won in the mud at Uttoxeter (2½m) in January. Respectable sixth of 10 in a Go North series final at Kelso (21.5f) last time. Was a bit laboured on that occasion but possible a change of headgear (first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces) could sharpen him up.

7/2

Point/hurdle winner who walked over on return/chase debut at Sandown in November. Best run in handicaps since when fourth of 7 in 2½m Uttoxeter novice handicap in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 3 weeks ago. Player if he can build on that.

11/2

Completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Worcester in October and successful first 2 starts over fences late last year. However, hasn't been in the same form in a couple of chase starts at Kempton since returning from a short break. Needs to bounce back to his best.

9/4

Made a successful handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (21f, good to soft) in October. Better form when placed on next 2 outings and might have needed a recent outing back at Wetherby after 3 months off. Respected chase newcomer.

14/1

Bagged 3 chase wins for Dan Skelton this time last year but hasn't offered much for new yard thus far, including tailed off over C&D just 18 days ago.

Forecasts

Duel Au Soleil (9/4), Admiral Stewart (7/2), Doyouknowwhatimean (4/1), Carrigeen Castle (9/2), My Noble Lord (11/2), Jorebel (11/2), Lady Jago (14/1), Presentandcounting (18/1)

ADMIRAL STEWART's latest fourth in a Uttoxeter novice handicap appeals as solid form and he can come good now tackling largely more exposed opponents. Carrigeen Castle took a step back in the right direction at Hexham last time and may provide the chief threat ahead of Ben Pauling chase newcomer Duel Au Soleil.
