Xpo Universel^p,t¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: Emma Smith-Chaston⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 118| CD

12/1

4-20 over hurdles, including a comfortable C&D win last month (soft) when 9lb lower. Acts on heavy ground, but was held when 2lb lower at Carlisle last time, and more is needed if he is to win again.

Form: 745215

Oscars Leader^v¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 113| D

13/8

1-9 over hurdles, having scored at Bangor last time out (2m, soft; first-time visor), when 8lb lower. That rise looks a bit harsh based strictly on the form book, but clearly can't rule him out.

Form: 64-5351

Point Break⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: Mrs A Hamilton| OR: 112| BF

11/1

0-11 under rules. Placed three times in novices' hurdles last winter. Yet to get competitive in two handicap starts, including from today's mark last time. Much more needed.

Form: 6323-69

Cesar Collonges^p⁴⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 112| D

18/1

1-6 over hurdles, having won a Carlisle novice event (2m1f, soft) a couple of season ago. Has scored over fences since, when 5lb higher, but has lots to prove based on recent efforts.

Form: 617-P8P

Corri Lindo²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: J McGrath| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 109

10/1

17-race maiden under rules. Went close from 1lb higher at Bangor (2m4f, good) over fences last April. Was also a close fourth at Warwick over hurdles (2m, soft) latest. Back up 2lb but looks a contender.

Form: 2-4PF44

Kauto D'Amour³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 107

2/1

Got off the mark at the sixth attempt at Newcastle (2m, soft) last month, keeping on strongly. Will come into his own when back up in trip, but has claims again here after just a 3lb rise.

Form: 507251

Wor Verge^t⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: James Corbett⁽⁵⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 102

12/1

Scored at Hexham (2m, heavy), when 12lb lower, in November. Backed that up with a good effort over C&D when just 2lb lower next time. Burst blood vessel latest at Wetherby (2m3f). Player if he is over that now back in trip.

Form: P0-5120

Forecasts

Oscars Leader (13/8), Kauto D'Amour (2/1), Corri Lindo (10/1), Point Break (11/1), Wor Verge (12/1), Xpo Universel (12/1), Cesar Collonges (18/1)

Oscars Leader can't be ruled out, while the same applies to Wor Verge if all is okay with him, but this is probably between Corri Lindo and KAUTO D'AMOUR, and the latter gets the vote given that he looks less exposed and may have more to come.
