5/4

Winning pointer who ran well to place at both Hexham and Ayr first two outings then bit off more than he could chew in Grade 2 company at Haydock last time stepping up to 3m. Wears first-time tongue-tie back at right trip.

Form: 413-325

Ulverston²⁵

9/2

Outran his 33/1 odds when second at Doncaster in Jauary but didn't back that upon return visit last time on Town Moor. Has a little to find on official figures.

Form: 3-5328

La Chanteuse¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

5/4

Won Ayr bumper in November then fourth in Navan Listed bumper time after. Stayed on steadily into promising fourth of 22 on hurdles bow at Navan earlier in the month and she should be well suited by this step up in trip.

Form: 43144

Forecasts

The Ferry Master (5/4), La Chanteuse (5/4), Ulverston (9/2)

Irish raider LA CHANTEUSE was decent in bumpers and gave a strong hint she'll pay her way over hurdles when fourth in a big field at Navan recently. This longer trip will suit and she can get the better of The Ferry Master who will appreciate the return to this grade having been outclassed at Haydock last time. Ulverston is not out of it but would have to surpass his penultimate effort when second at Doncaster to land the spoils.
