Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Kielan Woods| T: Christian Williams| OR: 93

4/5

Has reacted well to the addition of cheekpieces, building on his Newton Abbot second in September to land a first chase success at Newcastle (2½m, good, 11/10) 11 days ago. Did that easily and still looks well treated off 7 lb higher.

Form: 447-421

Killybegs Jet Lady^t,v¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 91| CD

11/1

Irish point winner who got off mark under Rules in small-field C&D event in May but has failed to reproduce that since, beaten just under 20 lengths into fifth at Hexham 18 days ago. Bounce back needed.

Form: 21P045

Wearelongterm^p¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Maggs| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 89| CD

7/2

Belatedly got off the mark when making all over C&D a fortnight ago but his task was made significantly easier by 2 departures at the second last. Up 6 lb.

Form: 5-P7U31

Burning It Up^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander| OR: 86

9/1

Expensive to follow over hurdles last season and well held on his completed start over fences this autumn.

Form: P827-U6

Jirko⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N W Alexander| OR: 84

6/1

Yet to register a victory and let down by his jumping again on last weekend's return from a 6-month break at Ayr. Risky but can be competitive off this mark if eliminating the mistakes.

Form: 333U-FU

Forecasts

Rule Me In (4/5), Wearelongterm (7/2), Jirko (6/1), Burning It Up (9/1), Killybegs Jet Lady (11/1)

RULE ME IN impressed at Newcastle and is selected to make light of a 7 lb rise, most likely at the expense of last month's C&D scorer Wearelongterm.
