Del La Mar Rocket³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Kielan Woods| T: B Pauling

33/1

Made all in an Exeter bumper a year ago. Not so good yet over hurdles this season and has work to do.

Form: 21P-48

Dreams Of Diamonds³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: P & M Bowen

28/1

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful chaser Storm Control and useful hurdler/chaser Tagrita. Showed a bit in Exeter bumper on debut last month and this stiffer test will suit on hurdles bow.

Form: 4

El Rojo Grande²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price

25/1

From a NH family and off the mark in Irish points at fourth attempt last time (Jan 15).

Lubeat Foras³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 123

1/1

Point and Sedgefield bumper winner. With another new yard and shaped well second time up over hurdles at Doncaster (20.8f) last month. That form looks solid and he can do better again.

Form: 11/33

Marni Grey^h1²¹

300/1

Early faller on hurdles debut at Ludlow 3 weeks ago. Hood goes on.

Form: F

Pencil

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Nicky Martin

16/1

Retirement Plan gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hunter chaser (stayed 3m) Don't Be Daft. Worth a look in the betting on debut.

Form:

Phantom Getaway³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls

5/1

Point winner who made a good fist of it on first go over hurdles at Ludlow (21.2f) last month, headed late on. Entitled to progress.

Form: 61-52

Rabble Rouser

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: T R George

33/1

£10,000 3-y-o, Aizavoski gelding, related to jumps winners.

Form:

Red Lion Lad^b1²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 107

10/3

Has had experience of both hurdles/fences, his 2 best runs coming at Chepstow (looked a real stayer latest). Different headgear tried again.

Form: 363-6U3

Sam's The Man²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 111

9/1

Has shaped well in a couple of 19.4f Chepstow hurdles, finishing with running left latest. Longer trip will suit and suspect he has a bigger performance in the locker.

Form: 5-043

Forecasts

Lubeat Foras (1/1), Red Lion Lad (10/3), Phantom Getaway (5/1), Sam's The Man (9/1), Pencil (16/1), El Rojo Grande (25/1), Dreams Of Diamonds (28/1), Del La Mar Rocket (33/1), Rabble Rouser (33/1), Boley Bay (150/1), Brin Mo (300/1), Marni Grey (300/1)

LUBEAT FORAS showed plenty more second time up over hurdles at Doncaster last month and his Cheltenham Festival entries catch the eye. He could be the class act here. Phantom Getaway can improve after a good second at Ludlow, while Sam's The Man probably has a bigger performance in him.
