20/1

Took well to chasing in 2020/21, signing off with a win in 2½m Ludlow handicap. Off almost 2 years before pulled up in Haydock handicap last month however so has lots to prove.

6/1

Gained first success over fences when making all at Perth last April on final start for Paul Nicholls. Form has dipped for his current yard though, so others appeal more. Change of headgear.

Form: 1-32245

Marown^p²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 125| D

11/2

Runner-up on his Ayr reappearance in October but disappointing both runs since there and over 3m here (cheekpieces on) since. Needs to bounce back.

Form: P43-245

Maid O'Malley^t1⁴¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 123| BF| C| DWS

15/2

Course winner who wasn't disgraced when third of 4 in handicap chase here (20.9f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Since had wind op. Tongue strap on 1st time too. Weighted to go well.

Form: 1F5-243

Dubai Days^h²²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Bruce Lynn⁽³⁾| T: N W Alexander| OR: 123| D

4/1

Won trio of small-field handicap chases last term and comes here in good nick, third in 2m4f Newcastle handicap 22 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 1-55323

Dalyotin^p⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: R Menzies| OR: 122

14/1

Off the mark over fences at Sedgefield (21f) last March and started this campaign with good second of 8 in handicap chase at Kelso in November. However, disappointed twice since and something to prove now.

Form: 041-27P

Maypole Class²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁷⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 122| CD

15/2

C&D winner but he underwent breathing surgery before coming in a below-form fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Haydock (19.9f) 29 days ago. Unreliable individual.

Form: PP1-9P4

Lord Roco^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: J Ewart| OR: 120| D

8/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner who made a solid start over fences when finding only one too good on three successive starts. Off 9 weeks before pulled up over 3m here last time but the sort to bounce back.

Form: 54-222P

Tonto's Spirit¹⁵⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: C O'Farrell| T: A Slack| OR: 117| C

40/1

Scored at Cartmel (2m5f) in August but only fifth of 7 in handicap over C&D 140 days ago and has since left Dianne Sayer. Needs to hit the ground running for his new trainer.

Form: 443315

Paddy The Horse²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 115| D

9/2

Point winner who won maiden and handicap hurdle at Hexham in the autumn. Departed around halfway when switched to fences at Ayr but showed no ill effects when decent fourth over C&D since. Respected.

Form: 2-311F4

Forecasts

Dubai Days (4/1), Paddy The Horse (9/2), Marown (11/2), Ubetya (6/1), Overcourt (7/1), Maid O'Malley (15/2), Maypole Class (15/2), Lord Roco (8/1), Dalyotin (14/1), Evander (20/1), Tonto's Spirit (40/1)

MAID O'MALLEY has slipped to a handy-looking mark and also returns after a wind operation so this course winner is taken to resume winning ways. Dubai Days arrives in good order and is feared most in his bid for a first win of the season, with Paddy The Horse appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
