9/1

Strong-travelling display when completing a double in Galway Hurdle this summer. Off the mark over fences at second time of asking in workmanlike style at Sligo in September (had a spin of Flat since). Not at that level here on Saturday.

Boothill²²⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Bryan Carver| T: H Fry| OR: 137| D

8/1

Very talented on his day but have to go back to 2023 for the last time he tasted success. Looked a declining force last season so it's hard to be confident about this veteran on return from 7 months off, even from what is a much-reduced mark.

Form: 4/P5388-

Highlands Legacy²²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 137| D

11/4

Improved for the switch to fences last season, successful twice (including on reappearance) and runner-up other 3 starts, including a good-quality contest at Aintree in April. Yard in very good nick so he has a lot going for him.

Form: 4/12212-

Classic Maestro^p²⁰⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Luke Scott⁽³⁾| T: J Candlish| OR: 131| D

22/1

Fine strike rate over hurdles (5-10) and notched third success in this sphere when seeing off 6 rivals over 2½m at Perth in April. That wasn't a strong a race as this one and he's been off since but form of the stable is a plus. Equally effective over 2m.

Form: U62P31-

Jony R²¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 130WS

11/1

Successful twice over hurdles for Stuart Crawford last season. Ended time for that yard with a heavy defeat having been handed a very stiff mark so needs to really hit the ground running for new yard on chasing debut. Has had a breathing operation.

Form: F7144P-

Femme Magnifique⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Cian Quirke| T: D H Kelly| OR: 126| D

11/1

Much improved this season for new yard, winning twice in handicaps at around 2m and adding a novice success at Wexford (2½m) in August. Sound second since but revised British mark asks a pretty big question of her.

Form: 3-12112

Larzac^t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Harry Cobden| T: Faye Bramley| OR: 124| D

15/2

Failed to win a race for Willie Mullins but found a contest lacking depth to get off the mark for Faye Bramley at Uttoxeter last month. Has the physique for chasing but this no easy starting point.

Form: 06/840-1

Shakeyatailfeather¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 123| CD

7/2

Back down to 17f and produced a career-best effort when landing a small-field contest at Kelso in October 2025. Now just 1 lb above that winning mark and promising reappearance third at Ascot 2 weeks ago suggests she's a massive player.

Form: 58677-3

Tour Ovalie¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 119| D

9/1

Likeable 6-time winner over hurdles over this trip and confirmed the promise of her chasing debut third at Worcester when landing 4-runner handicap at Chepstow 11 days ago, drawing clear run-in. Up 7 lb in a better race but she can progress again over larger obstacles.

Form: 340-831

Authoceltic³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: C Gethings| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 118| D

6/1

Positive start to his chasing career last season, successful at Wincanton (2m) and going close at Ascot (might have won with better luck). Bumped into a progressive one at Worcester last month so one to consider with that sound reappearance behind him.

Form: 52152-2

Forecasts

Highlands Legacy (11/4), Shakeyatailfeather (7/2), Putapoundinthejar (7/1), Larzac (7/1), Authoceltic (8/1), Femme Magnifique (10/1), Boothill (10/1), Tour Ovalie (12/1), Classic Maestro (16/1), Jony R (25/1)

On the back of an encouraging reappearance at Ascot 2 weeks ago, SHAKEYATAILFEATHER is perched just 1 lb above her last winning mark, gained at Kelso around this time last year and she looks primed to strike. Highlands Legacy won on last season's return to the track and represents a yard in excellent order so he's a definite threat, along with Authoceltic.
