3.2 🟡 0-2-1
💬 Dual winner over hurdles last term and, fit from spell over timber, ran out an impressive winner of his British chase debut at Bangor (17.3f) 33 days ago. Handicapper has reacted but manner of that victory suggests there could yet be more to come in this sphere.

6.0 🟢 1-3-1
💬 Landed Ffos Las handicap chase (2m) for second year in succession in November, produced to lead before last and asserting quickly run-in. However, proved disappointing at Leicester 5 weeks ago and he'll need to leave that well behind.
NR Greenrock Abbey (G) 8yo - 112 12-2 R Patrick

5.0 🔴 0-3-2
💬 Took well to fences last season, winning 2 of his 6 starts. Encouraging reappearance effort when second at Sandown (2m) in December and not disgraced when third at Chepstow (2m, heavy) later last month. Should give another good account.

5.0 🟢 2-2-4
💬 Veteran, dual handicap chase winner for David Pipe at Ffos Las last year and sound start for new yard when runner-up in handicaps at Hereford/Doncaster in November. Seemingly not himself when pulled up at Bangor last month but he lacks the potential of one or two here in any case.
2 Breaking Cover (G) 6yo - 109 11-13 Sam Twiston-Davies

1.2 🟢 2-1-0 4.2L
💬 Points runner-up who boasts a positive profile over hurdles, matching the form of his return second at Taunton when third on handicap debut at Ludlow (15.7f) in November. Rates a very interesting chase debutant back from 51 days off with Harry Cobden an eye-catching booking.
