Selected odds by:

Blue Hawaii^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 12-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: T Collier| OR: 107

9/2

Matched her fair hurdles form over fences when second at Catterick and here this winter. Only ninth on the Flat at Wolverhampton last time but can bounce back.

Form: 272-292

Trac^p²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 100| C| D

15/8

Scored for third time this season when readily making all in 7-runner handicap chase at this course (21.1f) 19 days ago. 7 lb higher now but looks the one to beat nonetheless.

Form: P-51211

Coolmoyne^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: J Kington| T: S Waugh| OR: 86

11/4

Reacted well to a tongue strap when placed on last 3 starts, latest in handicap chase at this course (21.1f) last month. 1 lb lower now and likely to make presence felt again.

Form: 5P4233

Ex S'elance^p⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Thomas Dowson| T: V Thompson| OR: 77| D

11/4

Established as a limited hurdler but he had landed two points and made a winning chasing debut in 2m4f Hexham handicap a week ago. Much respected under a 7 lb penalty.

Form: 730111

Man Of The North¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-2| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 75

40/1

Patchy record over fences and well held at Southwell after 16 months off on yard debut. Hard to warm to.

Form: 773/59-0

Forecasts

Trac (15/8), Coolmoyne (11/4), Ex S'elance (11/4), Blue Hawaii (9/2), Man Of The North (40/1)

TRAC arrives on the up and a 7 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from completing a hat-trick. Ex S'elance is feared most under a 7 lb penalty for his recent Hexham chasing debut success with Coolmoyne appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
