Selected odds by:

Alone No More⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ryan Mania| T: Miss Emma Brown| OR: 93

33/1

Limited hurdler whose point form doesn't inspire much confidence.

Form: P8/132-U

Bite The Biscuit^p⁸⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: W Easterby| OR: 95

66/1

Modest form over hurdles in 2017 and still a maiden between the flags, so doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 2P23/P-P

Cousin Pascal²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: C J Todd⁽³⁾| T: J J O'Shea| OR: 118

11/8

Winning pointer since joining this stable and left previous Rules form behind when second in a Leicester hunter 20 days ago. Well capable of going one better.

Form: 64P132

Dressedforsuccess⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: James Latham

125/1

Only fifth of 12 in hunter chase at Cartmel (21.2f, soft) on Rules debut 21 months ago. Won between the flags since (hit the frame last time), but likely to be outclassed.

Form: 12524-4

Dr Kananga^t1¹²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Ben Jones⁽³⁾| T: Ben Clarke

13/2

Dapper gelding. Dam unraced out of sister to Grand National runner-up Encore Un Peu. Wears tongue strap. Multiple point winner, fourth last time (Nov 1). Not discounted.

Form: 21/241-4

Eco Warrior⁸⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 11-12| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: Nick Orpwood| OR: 102

16/1

Good third of 6 in hunter chase at Musselburgh (23.8f, soft, 40/1) a year ago but pulled up on his latest outing between the flags. Others are more appealing.

Form: 11/131-P

Ganache^p1,t1⁸⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽³⁾| T: W Easterby

66/1

Placed both starts in bumpers but pulled up on final outing for Nicky Henderson over 2 years ago and fared no better in a point subsequently.

Form: 33P/P

King Of The Clothe³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: T Ellis

10/3

Multiple winning pointer who wasn't disgraced when fifth in a hunter at Wincanton last month. Will need to step up on that if he's to make a serious impression, though.

Form: 15122-5

Merrion Avenue¹⁰⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: C Brassil⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Howarth

40/1

€28,000 3-y-o, Touch of Land gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Texas Jack. Irish point winner, second last time (Nov 21).

Form: 5P4/1P2

Monsun Storm^b1⁶⁹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: John Dawson

150/1

€24,000 3-y-o, £5,000 5-y-o, September Storm gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Billy Twyford. Point winner, including latest start (April 2019). Bit to prove after such a long absence.

Form: 342331/

Mr Pepperpot^p¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Philip Armson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Tate| OR: 99

40/1

Winner and placed several times between the flags but little encouragement in hunters, including at Wetherby recently.

Form: 2P12-25

No Limitations^b1²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Williams⁽³⁾| T: Miss E Yardley

6/1

Three-time point winner who started his hunter campaign with an excellent second at Leicester recently, so warrants plenty of respect with blinkers fitted.

Form: 312-312

Rattle The Cage^p²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: W Easterby

8/1

Multiple point winner who showed encouragement when fourth over C&D on hunter debut 22 days ago. Should be thereabouts with a similar level of performance.

Form: P1242/4

Risky Gold^p1,t³⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: C Brace| T: Mrs Linda Delahooke| OR: 92

66/1

Rules form is uninspiring and, while he's won a point, he was unplaced when last seen in that sphere around a year ago.

Form: 54/U137-

Sir Charles Lytton⁹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Barker

200/1

Disappointing a bumper for Richard Fahey and pulled up sole start in points (Dec 6).

Form: 4-P

Cave Queen²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Robert Williams⁽³⁾| T: L Humphrey

250/1

Winning pointer but pulled up twice in that sphere before falling on her hunter debut at Leicester 20 days ago.

Form: 5/17-PPF

Forecasts

Cousin Pascal (11/8), King Of The Clothe (10/3), No Limitations (6/1), Dr Kananga (13/2), Rattle The Cage (8/1), Eco Warrior (16/1), Same Opinion (20/1), Alone No More (33/1), Mr Pepperpot (40/1), Merrion Avenue (40/1), Bite The Biscuit (66/1), Risky Gold (66/1), Ganache (66/1), Dressedforsuccess (125/1), Monsun Storm (150/1), Sir Charles Lytton (200/1), Cave Queen (250/1)

COUSIN PASCAL's Leicester second in February is the best piece of recent form on show, so he's fancied to go one better at the likely expense of Rattle The Cage, with No Limitiations also worth considering in a race that lacks depth.
