Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T Collier

200/1

Not badly bred but was well held in a Catterick bumper on debut in December.

Form: 0

Patagonia^p1,t1²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 109

5/1

Brother to smart hurdler/very smart chaser Diego du Charmil. Promise in a brace of Sedgefield novice hurdles (19.8f) and remains open to improvement with tongue tie and cheekpieces combination being tried.

Form: 43

Quiet Flow¹⁸⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

13/8

Related to several winners and showed ability in two bumpers 15 months apart. Made an unpromising start over hurdles when well held at Fontwell in early October and not seen since, but it's still early days and he's in top hands.

Form: 5/4-7

Rory And Me^t⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 106

5/1

Dual bumper in 2019 who has shown fair form over hurdles, though failed to get the job done after being left with the race at his mercy at Newcastle early last month. Looks vulnerable from a win perspective.

Form: 31/2-342

Scudamore^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 105

8/1

Fair AW Flat winner for Ivan Furtado. Similar form when hitting frame all 3 starts over hurdles, including in a Fakenham claimer last time, and could be a factor again.

Form: 342

Spiritofthenorth²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: K A Ryan| OR: 106

5/2

Showed fair form in 3 hurdling runs before the turn of the year. Had looked irresolute on the Flat but there was no faulting his attitude when off the mark at Wolverhampton recently and he makes plenty of appeal now back over hurdles.

Form: 243

Beautiful Mix¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁵⁾| T: N Mechie

250/1

Modest second on bumper debut back in 2016 and well beaten completed start over hurdles nearly 6 years later.

Form: 2/U6

Druk^t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

40/1

Fairly useful on Flat, stays 1½m. Left W. P. Browne 28,000 gns but didn't jump with much fluency when well held on Stratford hurdles debut 17 days ago.

Form: 7

Reams Of Love²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Max Kendrick| T: D J Jeffreys

125/1

Fair performer on the Flat for Mark Johnston, winner of 11.6f Bath handicap in September. Sold for £22,000 and gelded but was well held sent hurdling at Ludlow 4 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Quiet Flow (13/8), Spiritofthenorth (5/2), Patagonia (5/1), Rory And Me (5/1), Scudamore (8/1), Carn A Chlamain (10/1), Druk (40/1), One Step Too Far (50/1), Toscan Genius (100/1), Reams Of Love (125/1), Call Me Jezza (200/1), Beautiful Mix (250/1)

A weakish maiden which can go to SPIRITOFTHENORTH, a recent winner on the Flat who showed enough in 3 hurdle starts before the turn of the year to be of interest for a race such as this. Patagonia has shown promise both starts at Sedgefield and remains open to improvement sporting a tongue strap/cheekpieces combination, while Scudamore and Quiet Flow are others who could get involved.
