14/1

Very useful in his prime. Below form for Jim Dreaper when last seen in the spring but no surprise were he capable of making an impact at this level.

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr H Crow⁽⁵⁾| T: J J O'Shea| OR: 123

11/8

Ready winner of a 21f Cartmel maiden hunter in May. Also comfortably landed 2 points on his return to action in November. Probably the one to beat.

Age: 12| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr George Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Miss E Mcgarty-jones| OR: 128

Jimmy Tew^h⁵⁷

Tout Est Permis¹⁶³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 135| D

9/4

Smart chaser in prime. Nothing like so good lately (left Noel Meade after finishing well held over hurdles in July) but he's joined a good stable and this is an easier assignment. Needs considering.

Form: 903P4-0

Singapore Saga²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D Andrews⁽⁵⁾| T: J Heard| DWS

Handicap hurdle winner Philip Hobbs. Has won 2 of his 5 point starts for current connections, including on his return to action in Decmeber. Hunter debut.

Forecasts

Envious Editor (11/8), Tout Est Permis (9/4), Singapore Saga (15/2), My Way (8/1), Another Venture (12/1), Mitchouka (14/1), Drop Flight (18/1), Wotzizname (25/1), Jimmy Tew (150/1)

ENVIOUS EDITOR has easily landed a Cartmel hunter and 2 points on his last 3 outings and is taken to extend that winning run to 4. My Way was a useful chaser a couple of years back and arrives fit from a point run so he's a possible threat. Tout Est Permis was very capable earlier in his career and is another interesting contender on his hunter debut for Archie Watson.
