Selected odds by:

Hang In There²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 140| CD

7/1

Smart hurdler who has and excellent strike rate over fences and returned to this sphere with a respectable second at Aintree. Mark is potentially lenient and he merits plenty of respect.

Form: 11P14-2

Earlofthecotswolds^p⁶³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 138| CD

11/1

Looked resurgent when completing a double over hurdles in November. Ridden too aggressively on the Flat a couple of months ago but should bounce back after a break.

Form: 503116/

Impulsive One^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-6| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 132

18/1

Resumed winning ways at Huntingdon (15.8f) in November and notched his second success of last campaign at Wetherby in February. Back on track when fourth at Aintree (final start for Nicky Henderson) 3 weeks ago but others look better treated.

Form: 1431P-4

The Wounded Knee⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: G Sheehan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 129

18/1

Placed both starts in points and dual winner over hurdles. Seemed amiss on final outing for Patrick Neville, however, so bit to prove debuting for new yard after 3 months off.

Form: 31128P-

Luttrell Lad^t1⁶¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR: 128| C

9/2

Got back on the up for new yard when staying on from rear to finish a creditable eighth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and backed it up with a respectable fifth at Plumpton a couple of months ago. Upped in trip with tongue tie applied and seems likely to feature.

Form: 22/0P85-

Celestial Horizon³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: B Haslam| OR: 128

40/1

Doubled hurdles tally in fine style at Kilbeggan (17f) in May 2022 but not in anything like the same form when pulled up next 3 starts for Joseph O'Brien last summer. Hasn't done much better for current yard.

Form: PPP68-7

Didtheyleaveuoutto¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 123

28/1

Useful sort who reached the frame for the second year running in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) in October. Below par in this sphere since, though, failing to beat a rival at Hexham 17 days ago. Hard to make a case for unless the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 0/4398-9

King Alexander¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR: 121

5/2

Won bumper on Rules debut in September and has added to a promising start in this sphere with a double recently, readily landing a novice aat Ffos Las on latest outing. Open to more improvement now back handicapping, so looks the one to beat.

Form: 12621-1

Mullinaree^h,t³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-5| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁵⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 117

11/2

In the frame on first 5 attempts over hurdles and now chases a four-timer having landed a hat-trick at Fontwell 30 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 22411-1

Sacre Coeur^h⁹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-4| J: David England| T: D Skelton| OR: 116WS

6/1

Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner in France and gained her first British success when scoring in handicap hurdle at Haydock in December. Back on track to some extent when sixth at Ludlow 3 months ago and has since left Jonjo O'Neill.

Form: F0/6196-

Runswick Bay³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Jones| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 112WS

12/1

Back on track, returned to smaller obstacles, when second of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Fontwell (19.2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but failed to back it up (quick turnaround) at Kempton. Likely to struggle from out of the weights.

Form: 31/4P2-9

Forecasts

King Alexander (5/2), Luttrell Lad (9/2), Mullinaree (11/2), Sacre Coeur (6/1), Hang In There (7/1), Earlofthecotswolds (11/1), Runswick Bay (12/1), Impulsive One (18/1), The Wounded Knee (18/1), Didtheyleaveuoutto (28/1), Celestial Horizon (40/1)

KING ALEXANDER arrives on a hat-trick and promises to do better still now switched back to handicapping, so he's preferred to Hang In There, who is well treated on chasing form. Luttrell Lad should benefit from the longer trip, so he seems likely to give another good account.
