9/2
Likeable performer with 8 wins from 19 starts over timber. Chased home Buveur D'air (not extended) in Grade 1 on reappearance in December. Not facing anything of that calibre now, holds sound claims with rider easing his top-weight burden.

7/4
Solid effort at Wincanton on Boxing Day to be 2¼L second to Protek Des Flos. May have gone even closer for sketchy jump (under pressure) at the last. Has undergone wind surgery since and races from 2lb higher mark.

11/4
French point-to-point winner in 2015 before joining this yard. Trainer has shown enormous patience to get him right and rewarded with trio of maiden/novice hurdle wins in the summer. Deep ground an unknown on handicap debut but potential is clear.

Cold March278
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: H Whittington| OR:  130
11/2
Three-time winner over fences but hasn't ever shown that level of form in four prior hurdles outings. Off since April, makes first start for new trainer here and yard 2-5 lately. Merits closer inspection in betting.

Horse silk
General Gingert61
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-0| J: N P Madden| T: H Fry| OR:  123| D
12/1
Pair of hurdles successes came back in 2015 but unable to sustain effort in two runs back from 525-day layoff at Wincanton and Leicester earlier in the season. Not discounted entirely on these terms.
6
Horse silk
Kings Ladt641
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-0| J: P J Brennan| T: C L Tizzard| OR:  123| D
20/1
Decent a couple of seasons ago but has been off the track since a poor 2015/16 campaign. Very attractively handicapped on pick of his form and represents top team so any market interest would be worth noting on return from 641 days off.

Forecasts

Boite (7/4), Monbeg Legend (11/4), Irving (9/2), Cold March (11/2), General Ginger (12/1), Kings Lad (20/1)

14:15 Taunton - 20 January 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The unbeaten Monbeg Legend is much-respected returning from a break for Nicky Henderson's team but he is dipping his toe in deeper waters now meeting the smart and consistent IRVING. He chased home the Champion Hurdle favourite in the Fighting Fifth on his reappearance and looks to be suited by the conditions here. The claim of Bryony Frost eases his weight concession his class may out these rivals. Boite ran well at Wincanton on Boxing Day and should do so once more after a wind op. Cole March is worth a look on debut for new yard while General Ginger has a chance at his best on these terms.
