Curious Times^p1,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 118

14/1

Fairly useful hurdler on his day but his last couple of outings haven't contained much promise. Something to prove.

Form: F/657-8P

Copperwell¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: G Elliott| OR: 114| CD

3/1

Lightly-raced type who improved to land a novice hurdle over C&D earlier in the month, comfortably going clear. Should do better still, so boasts leading claims on handicap debut.

Form: 0/P21

Punxsutawney Phil¹⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 109| D

15/8

AW bumper winner who also landed Sedgefield maiden hurdle in October. Lost his way subsequently but now has his sights lowered after a 148-day break. Interesting if he's strong in the betting.

Kayfast Warrior^b⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 106| D

10/3

Juvenile winner at Wetherby in December and got back on track when fifth in a handicap hurdle over C&D last time. Dropped 2 lb since, so no forlorn hope.

Form: 13235-5

Malangen¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 101| CD

5/1

Temperamental sort who improved to score over C&D 12 days ago but is far from certain to be in the same form this time.

Form: 36-7761

Roma Bangkok^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: S Mulqueen| T: M A Barnes| OR: 95

33/1

Scored at Sedgefield in 2021 but he's been well below par over this C&D since, his latest poor effort coming 12 days ago.

Punxsutawney Phil (15/8), Copperwell (3/1), Kayfast Warrior (10/3), Malangen (5/1), Wicklow Flyer (7/1), Curious Times (14/1), Roma Bangkok (33/1)

COPPERWELL responded well to open his account over C&D recently and is well fancied to make a successful transition to handicaps up against some more exposed rivals. The class-dropping Punxsutawney Phil could pose the main threat, although the selection's stablemate Wicklow Flyer is of some interest with blinkers applied for the first time.
