Selected odds by:
Very strong form figures at this track (1,2,1), including when drawing right away from the runner-up Crystal Lad when scoring by in excess of 3L over this trip on his penultimate start; now rated 12lb higher.
2m Kempton scorer (novices') for Dan Skelton in April 2018; moved on after flopping at Worcester in October; in contention when falling three out on return to the track/stable debut (16/1) at Wincanton (2m5f+) 27-days ago.
5lb higher than when readily accounting for Lostnfound in a Class 4 mares' handicap hurdle at Lingfield (2m, soft) in February; has a fraction more on her plate against the geldings.
Short odds bumper (Huntingdon) and 2m novices' hurdle winner (Bangor); no match for all the way winner Not So Sleepy at Wincanton (2m, good) latest; tongue-tie on for handicap debut; Barry Geraghty's sole booked ride.
Hasn't much in the way of experience over hurdles (1-4), making just the sole start in handicap company at Ayr in April 2018; in fine fettle over fences during the summer months (2m5f Plate Trial runner-up here in June); off since.
Very lightly-raced since producing a stout staying performance to win the Fixed Brush Series Final at Worcester (2m4f, good) in late October; 7lb higher in the weights in open handicap company.
Commanding winner at Wincanton (2m5f+, good to soft) in April 2018, but hasn't really truly threatened since undergoing wind surgery/fitted with cheekpieces; 7lb higher than his last winning mark.
On an upward curve since sent handicapping, winning at Wincanton (2m5f+, good) and Sandown (2m4f, soft); has a further 8lb rise in the weights to contend with, albeit could well prove capable of landing the hat-trick.
Seven-race maiden; has made reasonably steady progress over hurdles, finishing just over 4L third to Trull La La in a 2m4f mares' maiden at Huntingdon in March; cheekpieces on; more needed on handicap debut.
Didn't have things go entirely his own way, but still made a winning start on his return from wind surgery in a CJ's handicap here (2m2f+) last week; carries no penalty for that success; worth considering upped in trip in a stronger race.

Forecasts
Earlofthecotswolds (9/4), Gleno (4/1), The Sweeney (5/1), Ice Galley (6/1), Collooney (7/1), Johnbb (8/1), Monty's Award (11/1), Rebel Royal (20/1), Regarding Ruth (20/1), Ballyvic Boru (20/1), All My Love (25/1)
An ultra-competitive handicap. Catterick handler Phil Kirby could win a race with the stable cat at present and his Ice Galley returns to the scene of last week's success without a penalty (won a conditional jockey's race). Wind surgery has proved beneficial and he's lowly-weighted off just 10st 2lb. Conversely, course specialist Earlofthecotswolds carries a welter burden of 11st 12lb, and the hat-trick seeking Gleno has witnessed another 8lb rise in the weights. Therefore, the focus is on a couple of less exposed horses; Collooney and JOHNBB with a preference for the Tom Lacey representative with his 2m4f Ayr maiden win franked since by Glinger Flame.
