Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 134

14/1

Won claiming hurdle on final start in France in October 2020. Good efforts in handicap chases over C&D last two starts for current yard (falling 2 out when in lead on latest occasion). Off 13 months.

Form: F71P2F-

Rockadenn^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Nick Scholfield| T: A Ralph| OR: 133

3/1

Back to best on second run for yard when runner-up in handicap hurdle at Haydock in December. Tough ask in Champion Hurdle Trial there last time and now has only his second chase start in Britain.

Form: 1P-3725

Hasankey^v³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Lewis Dobb⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 132| C

3/1

In fine form with his young rider, making amends for a luckless unseat at Hexham with a wide-margin win at Fontwell. Followed up at Ayr last month and can go on to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 542U11

Thomas Macdonagh^b,t²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 127| C

9/2

Opened account over fences at Catterick last season and, having dropped in the weights, bounced back to form in his last two starts with headgear applied. Has to be respected from a workable mark.

Form: P2-7P23

Joke Dancer^p⁴⁶

7/2

Useful winning chaser at best but struggling this term, well held in 20.3f handicap at Musselburgh 46 days ago. Down in trip and others more appealing despite his handy mark. Has had a wind op.

Form: 10-5F54

Destined To Shine^t³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 122

13/2

Off 10 months and had fourth wind op before returning with good third in 2m Haydock handicap in December. However, last of 5 over C&D next time when strong in the betting so he needs to bounce back.

Form: U222-35

Forecasts

Hasankey (3/1), Rockadenn (3/1), Joke Dancer (7/2), Thomas Macdonagh (9/2), Fast Buck (5/1), Destined To Shine (13/2), Eragone (14/1)

HASANKEY is developing a fine partnership with Lewis Dobb and the pair can land the hat-trick. The form of his Ayr success has been franked with the runner-up winning twice since, so a 9 lb rise might not be enough to stop him. Thomas Macdonagh can give another good account for in-form Jamie Snowden, while Rockadenn is interesting having been 3 from 3 over fences when trained in France.
