Demoiselle Kap^t³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Paul O'Brien| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 105

14/1

Completed a 4-timer in early 2025 but has been below that level for a while now and offered no encouragement on recent debut for this yard.

Form: 5353-29

Walkin Out³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: S Bowen| T: D Pipe| OR: 100| D

7/2

Consistent in hunters and a prolific point winner, including on latest start last month. Very interesting starting out for David Pipe.

Form: 342-131

Limerick Leader^b¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: James Bowen| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 100| CD

11/10

Consistent over fences last summer, including when winning this last year from 4 lb lower. Positive start for this yard when just denied at Southwell on return 2 weeks ago so must be considered.

Form: 21222-2

Jack's A Legend^t³¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 94

15/2

Low-mileage veteran who made a respectable start for this yard back from 11 months off when third at Newton Abbot in April but not in same form following month and stable remain quiet.

Form: 5P/133-7

Danny's Friend⁴⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 79

7/2

Maiden over hurdles but confirmed chase debut promise when easily winning at Hereford in November. Disappointed next 2 starts but might have needed comeback run 7 weeks ago.

Form: 00515-4

Forecasts

Limerick Leader (11/10), Danny's Friend (7/2), Walkin Out (7/2), Jack's A Legend (15/2), Demoiselle Kap (14/1), School For Scandal (16/1), Vengeance (20/1)

WALKIN OUT could be worth chancing switched to a professional yard off what is a potentially lenient mark. Last year's winner Limerick Leader went close to making a winning start for this stable at Southwell on return so is the obvious threat.
