Selected odds by:

Atomic Jack¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: R Johnson| T: George Baker| D

4/1

Fairly useful winner on Flat (stays 2½m) who was unable to live with an impressive sort over C&D a fortnight ago, keeping on inside final 1f. Should be in the mix once again.

Form: 462

Bullsempire^t1¹²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Moore| T: C HobsonWS

125/1

Dual point winner, but hasn't set the world alight in seven starts under Rules and this demands a significant step forward.

Form: 4620-49

Calgary Tiger¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Paul O'Brien⁽³⁾| T: W De Best-Turner

50/1

No great promise in bumpers but was allowed to stride on and seemed to excel himself when fourth of 15 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Newbury (16.3f, heavy) 12 days ago. May build on that here.

Form: 08/6P-04

Coal Stock²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁵⁾| T: S Thomas

33/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who shaped up well over hurdles upon joining this yard during first half of 2019. Probably needed the run after 19 months off at Hereford last month. Makes bumper debut.

Form: 862/P3-0

Coco Live⁵¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Dr J R J Naylor

150/1

Won 4 points and last seen back in May 2019 when finding the greater emphasis on stamina too much in a hunter chase at Cheltenham. Makes yard/sphere debut after 21 months off so best watched.

Form: 2/522P-P

Diamond Joel¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: Sarah Hollinshead

100/1

Former stayer on the Flat who was readily brushed aside on first outing since leaving David Dennis after 3½ years off the track over C&D a fortnight ago. Set for another struggle.

Form: 570/9

Dont Go Gentle¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

9/1

Modest form in bumpers and improved on previous hurdling efforts when fifth in novice at Taunton in November. Found the test too sharp but put up a respectable effort over C&D a fortnight ago.

Form: 30-4453

Goaheadwiththeplan⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Page Fuller| T: Mrs D O'Neill

66/1

Offered little in bumpers/over hurdles for Noel Meade so probably best watched on yard debut here.

Form: 443-907

Heart Of A Lion⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| DWS

7/2

Fairly useful bumper winner who has shaped well when runner-up in 2m novice hurdles at Huntingdon and Taunton this term. Since had wind op and much respected back in this sphere.

Form: 1-822

Hit The Rocks¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who looked rusty after 7 months off when fourth over C&D last month. Not disgraced on handicap hurdle bow last time but likely to need more to feature here.

Form: 422-40

Just No Risk⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

16/1

Good second in 4-runner Chepstow bumper on debut in October but little impact in 2 starts over hurdles since. Not ruled out back in this sphere.

Form: P-250

Linelee King⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 113| D

2/1

Point/bumper winner who had no trouble making a successful start to hurdling in a novice at Kelso in October. Improved when neck second next time but not so good at Newcastle since. Respected.

Form: 210-124

Kentucky Hardboot^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: M Moubarak

15/2

Fair on Flat and has translated that ability to hurdling, runner-up for second time in 2m juvenile (12/1) at Newbury in December. Not in same form last month and makes bumper debut.

Form: 2325

Mistersister^t⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: G Sheehan| T: C J Mann

14/1

Off the mark at the third attempt in juvenile hurdles in France but offered very little faced with a stiff assignment after 4 months off at Doncaster in December. Makes bumper debut.

Form: 471P

Forecasts

Linelee King (2/1), Heart Of A Lion (7/2), Atomic Jack (4/1), Kentucky Hardboot (15/2), Dont Go Gentle (9/1), Mistersister (14/1), Just No Risk (16/1), Hit The Rocks (20/1), Coal Stock (33/1), Calgary Tiger (50/1), Goaheadwiththeplan (66/1), Diamond Joel (100/1), Bullsempire (125/1), Coco Live (150/1)

This can go to Alan King's HEART OF A LION, who justified support when scoring on his sole outing in a bumper back in summer 2019 and has shown promise over timber having filled the runner-up spot the last twice. He's subsequently had a wind op and can maintain his unbeaten record in bumpers. Linelee King, Atomic Jack and Dont Go Gentle head up the dangers.
