25/1

In the frame on the second of 2 starts in Irish points and made a pleasing enough start to his career under Rules when second of 5 on Plumpton hurdling debut in September. However, has taken 3 backward steps since, including on handicap debut at Uttoxeter latest. Cheekpieces now tried.

Form: P/4252-5

Mexican Stan^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Tom Broughton⁽³⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 92

9/2

Improved when off the mark in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good) 19 days ago, despite flashing his tail a few times under pressure. 4 lb higher mark seems fair and is unexposed as a stayer.

Form: 74/P45-1

Jubertilee¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: David Noonan| T: D Summersby| OR: 89

28/1

Multiple point winner who showed more than previously over hurdles when third of 8 in 17f novice at Newton Abbot 15 days ago. Switches to handicap now and may improve again for the markedly longer trip.

Form: 1228-23

Brave Move⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam Harrison| T: F O'Brien| OR: 88

14/1

Ran his best race upped in trip when third of 16 in a competitive handicap at Taunton (3m) in December, never nearer. Ran no sort of race at Hereford 4 months later, though.

Form: 68/4735-

Edna E Mode^v¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: C Gethings| T: R Stephens| OR: 84

14/1

Followed a good run with a below-par one when seventh of 8 to Son of Tyran in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (3m, good, 12/1) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a refitted visor.

Form: 2/4803-7

Son Of Tyran¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 78

10/11

Improved to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (3m, good) 18 days ago, driven out. Still unexposed as a stayer and fancied to follow up.

Form: 00005-1

Saint Vic²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Lewis Stones⁽³⁾| T: A Day| OR: 78

4/1

Maiden who seemingly hasn't been the easiest to train but ran right up to his best when second of 8 at Uttoxeter (23f) on latest start. Thereabouts with a repeat.

Form: 7737/7-2

Brionywells²⁰³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Nick Slatter⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 77

20/1

Well held in 3 bumpers but she did at least make more impact than previously over hurdles stepped up in trip when fourth of 10 on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) in September. Failed to repeat that effort at Sedgefield in November, though.

Form: 9/39048-

Mc'flo^t1²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Brendan Powell| T: A Carson| OR: 72

33/1

Looks decidedly limited and passed over from just out of the weights.

Form: 70P65-8

Ultra Viers^t,p²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Bannister| T: P Taylor| OR: 69

66/1

Remains a maiden after 25 NH runs and has been struggling for form over fences lately. 4 lb out of the weights.

Form: 4F546-5

Forecasts

Son Of Tyran (10/11), Saint Vic (4/1), Mexican Stan (9/2), Artiste D'ainay (10/1), Edna E Mode (14/1), Brave Move (14/1), Brionywells (20/1), Whenthemusicstops (25/1), Jubertilee (28/1), Mc'flo (33/1), Ultra Viers (66/1)

SON OF TYRAN benefited no end from the big step up in trip when opening his account at Ludlow recently and is fancied to overcome a 5 lb rise in the weights with further improvement in the pipeline. Fellow last-time-out winner Mexican Stan has the odd quirk but is unexposed as a stayer too, with Saint Vic completing the shortlist.
