Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 134

11/10

2-2 over fences on the back of wind surgery. Beat Cornerstone Lad by 11 lengths at Carlisle for latter success but he received 18 lb from him on that occasion and has to give him weight now.

Form: 21-3711

Cornerstone Lad^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 143| C

7/4

Smart hurdler who opened chase account with cheekpieces refitted at Wetherby in January. Respectable 11 second to Mackenberg at Carlisle since. Meets that one on 22 lb better terms now.

Form: P-24512

Nero Rock²³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 126

10/3

Record in Ireland was a mixed one but he's made a solid start for his new stable with runner-up efforts in 2m handicap chases at Doncaster and Musselburgh this winter.

Form: 32PP22

Forecasts

Mackenberg (11/10), Cornerstone Lad (7/4), Nero Rock (10/3)

CORNERSTONE LAD was 11 lengths behind Mackenberg at Carlisle but there's a whopping 22 lb swing in the weights between that pair in this non-handicap and that should be enough for Micky Hammond's chanrge to turn the tables.
