There are a couple of interesting handicap debutantes in this with the market needing close attention on Major Hinderance and Cobolobo. Both of those have shown promise in novice hurdles without being knocked around and are expected to make their mark in handicaps. Rockchasebullet returning after a long break is another who needs looking at while Horseguardsparade is expected to turn in his usual sound effort with conditions to suit. This looks a good opportunity though for GREYED A to continue his progress after winning at Lingfield in November. His yard do well with this type and the 5lb rise for that victory doesn’t look a harsh one. 1. Greyed A 2. Cobolobo 3. Major Hindrance
