Scored on debut for this yard over hurdles here last June but pulled up at Hexham (2m) when last seen in October. Goes chasing after an absence with bit to prove.

Regular runner on these shores and has been in good form over hurdles, third of 6 at Down Royal 19 days ago. Also showed promise previously over fences so she rates a player back in this sphere.

Largely consistent without winning under both codes until only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (3m) 49 days ago. The sort to bounce back with cheekpieces added.

Lightly-raced ex-French maiden. Solid third of 5 for his new yard in handicap chase at Chepstow (2m) 51 days ago. May do better stepping up in trip.

11/4
Lightly-raced maiden who recorded a creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f) 31 days ago. Reverts to fences and this dual points winner needs considering.

9/2
Ended a losing run at Warwick in September. Lightly raced since and posted a good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (2½m) 16 days ago. Well in the mix at these weights back chasing, especially if jumping better.

Forecasts

Bobbarelli (11/4), Le Gentleman (4/1), Mary (9/2), Herja (11/2), Big Boy Barney (6/1), Kadjar Des Mottes (7/1), Wudya (11/1)

Verdict

Not an easy race to assess and it could pay to side with Irish-mare HERJA, who comes here in good nick over hurdles and can build on her earlier chasing promise. In-form Kadjar des Mottes could emerge as the main danger ahead of the handily-weighted Mary.

  1. Herja11/2
  2. Kadjar Des Mottes7/1
  3. Mary9/2
