Selected odds by:

Rose Sea Has³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR: 122| D

11/2

Consistent performer who opened his account for the season back down in grade when making most at Fontwell (17.8f) on Boxing Day. Can give another good account.

Form: V-42231

Galop De Chasse¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 120| D

18/5

Winning hurdler in France who doubled tally over fences in novice handicap at Ludlow in February last year. Ran well on first three starts this season, but lesser effort when second of 4 at Warwick last time. No surprise to see him bounce back.

Form: 32-2422

Volkovka³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 119

9/1

Fairly useful hurdler who shaped with some encouragement from a falling mark when fourth at Wincanton (20.2f) on chasing debut on Boxing Day. Could build on that effort back down in trip.

Form: 2645-74

Interne De Sivola²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 121

15/2

Dual juvenile hurdle winner for Nick Williams last term and it remains early days for him over fences, receiving a bump mid-air when falling at the first at Wincanton last time. Remains capable of better as a chaser.

Form: 721-36F

Generous Day³⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-11| J: D F O'Regan| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 117| C| D

9/1

After reappearing over hurdles, took advantage of reduced mark back over fences when making all at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Backed up that effort when runner-up at Warwick next time and can make another bold bid back down in trip.

Form: 852-812

Risk D'Argent³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 115| D

10/3

Easy winner of Uttoxeter maiden hurdle last term and matched that level when third on seasonal/handicap debut at Wetherby in November. Upped in trip, failed to convince with stamina when mid-field back at Uttoxeter (19.9f) last time. Makes chase debut.

Form: 1332-35

Oscars Leader^v³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 115| D

28/1

Took well to fences last season, winning handicaps at Haydock and Newcastle. Went backwards from his reappearance when pulled up at Kelso in December, but conditions were very testing that day. Is now 2 lb below last winning mark.

Form: 1U13-3P

Milanford^t⁴⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: T Scudamore| T: S Hosie| OR: 112

14/1

Useful novice chaser for Nick Mitchell back in 2020/21 but has a patchy record in 4 starts for new yard this season since returning from a year off. Possibly failed to stay longer trip at Taunton (26.3f) last time, but others still preferred.

Form: 5P-6737

Heritier^h,t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Fergus Gregory| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 112

16/1

Doubled his tally over fences at Kelso in October before scoring again at Market Rasen the following month. However, let down by jumping in hat-trick bid over hurdles at Catterick on New Year's Day. Could fare better back chasing.

Form: 3-34119

Piccadilly Lilly⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: H Cobden| T: A King| OR: 110

9/1

Hasn't shown much spark in 3 starts for present connections, shaping as if needing run on chase bow at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Is bred to do much better, though, so she's not one to write off just yet back down in trip.

Form: F1/3P4-6

Atlantic Storm^t⁵⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: James Bowen| T: B R Summers| OR: 98| CD

66/1

C&D winner whose most recent success came in 4-runner handicap at Southwell in June. Back to that sort of form when runner-up at this C&D in October, but needs to bounce back from a poor effort last time.

Form: 334427

Forecasts

Risk D'Argent (10/3), Galop De Chasse (18/5), Rose Sea Has (11/2), Interne De Sivola (15/2), Generous Day (9/1), Volkovka (9/1), Piccadilly Lilly (9/1), Milanford (14/1), Heritier (16/1), Oscars Leader (28/1), Atlantic Storm (66/1)

GENEROUS DAY has returned to form on his last 2 starts and still remains on a workable mark, so he is taken to score again in his current mood back down in trip. He can see off the challenge of last-time-out winner Rose Sea Has, while Galop de Chasse could bounce back from a lesser effort earlier in the month.
