Mahlervous

4
4/1(+11%)
(3) Mahlervous 4/1, Winning hurdler and off the mark at the fifth attempt over fences in novice at Kelso (23.4f) last time despite many errors. Needs to cut out the mistakes, though this isn't that strong a race again.

Glenduff

5
5/1(+17%)
(5) Glenduff 5/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles last term, scoring in a Carlisle novice (20f). First run for 11 months and type to make up into a chaser for in-form yard.
4
(4) Castletown (20/1 +60%)
Castletown

20
20/1(+60%)
(4) Castletown 20/1, Fair hurdler/maiden chaser who is no battler. Not knocked about behind Mahlervous at Kelso last time but more needed to close the gap on these terms back in trip.

200
200/1(-60%)
(6) Matthew Man 200/1, Well held over hurdles/fences during 2017/18 but belatedly off the mark in points during early-2020. Creditable second between the Flags in December but plenty on his plate back under Rules.

Getaway Trump

2
2/1(-60%)
(1) Getaway Trump 2/1, It's been very much all-or-nothing over fences this term, winning a couple of small-field events at up to 21f but bombing out on his other runs. This looks one of his more-easier assignments.

3.5/1(-27%)
(6) Aloomomo 3.5/1, Lost way for Warren Greatrex but largely positive for this yard, bolting up over fences at Kelso (21.6f) 13 months ago and going in again over hurdles at that venue in November. Very interesting.

(3) Mr McGo 7.5/1, Successful from 3 lb lower mark at Doncaster (20.5f) 12 months ago and similar form when runner-up on return at Hereford (20.8f). Record has been mixed since but not discounted on balance.

Pougne Bobbi

8
8/1(-23%)
(1) Pougne Bobbi 8/1, Useful handicap chaser for Nicky Henderson who has yet to scale same heights for new yard. However, not disgraced in fourth at Ayr (20.5f) in October and mark has eased. Undergone wind surgery since.

Bako De La Saulaie

11
11/1(+56%)
(9) Bako De La Saulaie 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who seems hard to train these days and he turned in another underwhelming display at Ayr (21.5f, heavy) last month, dropping away home turn. Visor on for cheekpieces.

Ramonex

14
14/1(+13%)
(2) Ramonex 14/1, Confirmed promise of belated return when successful at Doncaster (19f) 12 months ago. Likely first start since was needed at Ludlow in January and no surprise to see him ridden more prominently here.

25
25/1(-25%)
(7) Strong Resemblance 25/1, Did very well for this yard in 2018/19 winning 4 times (3 hurdle, 1 chase). Shaped as if needing the run after 14 months off when pulled up at Huntingdon in December and blinkers now applied.

Cracking Find

28
28/1(-211%)
(5) Cracking Find 28/1, Well held in Doncaster Class 3 handicap in November but was placed at Wetherby prior to that and the handicapper has given him a chance. Worth a crack at this longer trip.

Damiens Dilemma

50
50/1(-25%)
(11) Damiens Dilemma 50/1, Firmly in to veteran stage but proved better than ever to land back-to-back handicaps at up to 26f in the autumn. However, he's struggled to make an impact from higher marks in handful of starts since

Dubai Angel

4
4/1(+33%)
(4) Dubai Angel 4/1, Bumper/hurdle winner who made a respectable start for this yard when fourth in novice handicap chase at Newcastle on return and potentially on a good mark if building on that.

3/1(+10%)
(10) Oscar Ceremony 3/1, Three-time winner over fences or Stef Keniry last season who ran right up to his best on second start for new yard when edged out close home over 23.7f here in January. Not ruled out in this groove.

Zolfo

50
50/1(-150%)
(4) Zolfo 50/1, Ended last season in rude health, rattling off the 4-timer at Market Rasen (19f) 13 months ago. Possibly amiss given he dropped away so quickly on Ayr return but revised mark demands more in any case.
