Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Joe Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 99| D

17/2

Back to best following another wind op when successful at Worcester (23f) in August and similar form in defeat since, found to have been struck into when fourth at Stratford (22f) last month. Can give another good account.

Form: 361354

Masterdream^p,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Dylan Whelan⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 97

3/1

Dual winner at Worcester (20f) last year and successful on the Flat at Ffos Las (2m) in July. Upped in trip on his return to hurdling, produced his best effort in this sphere when scoring comfortably at Hereford (25.5f) 10 days ago. Leading contender.

Form: 1531-41

Aire Valley Lad^p³⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 93

10/1

Belatedly opened chase account at Wetherby (24.2f) in December. However, ended last season out of form and has finished down the field back over hurdles on his last 2 starts, though probably needed the run after 5 months off at Sedgefield last time.

Form: 0256-80

Diamond Twin^t1²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 92

4/1

Fared better than previously when fifth of 8 maiden at Warwick (19f) when last seen in April. Tongue tie now applied and he could have more to offer as he goes up in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 64765-

Smart Connection⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Lewis Saunders⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 82

50/1

After a run on the Flat, left his previous hurdles form behind when causing an 80/1 upset in handicap at Cartmel (22.1f) in August, edging ahead close home. Task is now to build on that.

Form: R-64561

Poppop⁷⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Philip Armson⁽³⁾| T: J T Stimpson| OR: 80

12/1

No better than mid-division in Southwell bumpers 2 years apart and hasn't found any improvement switched to hurdling this season, though made a big move into contention before fading when sixth at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in August. Others preferred.

Form: 9/6-6476

General Hubble^p²³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: C Gethings| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 80

15/8

Little impact in maiden/novice hurdles but, in first-time cheekpieces, took a step forward when fourth of 6 on handicap debut at this course (20.6f) in March. Could do better still as he goes up in trip on his reappearance.

Form: 5904-

Howzat Hiris²¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Joshua Thompson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 78

20/1

Had been struggling for form last season but got back on track with cheekpieces fitted, opening her account in Newcastle handicap (23.7f) in March. However, did too much too soon when pulled up at the same C&D next time and headgear is left off on her return.

Form: 69831P-

Oliver's Island^b,t²⁸⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 10-6| J: R P McLernon| T: J Bedi| OR: 77| CD

22/1

Returned to winning ways with a narrow success at this C&D in December but not in the same form both starts since. Has edged back down in the weights at least, so he's capable of getting involved if ready to go after 9 months off.

Form: 082159-

Dr Lockdown^p,t1⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Max Kendrick| T: D J Jeffreys| OR: 66

40/1

Maiden pointer who showed little in his 4 outings last season. After 6 months off and with cheekpieces applied, pulled up on handicap debut at Perth in September, though hinted at ability before dropping away 3 out. Has work to do from out of the weights.

Form: 480P6-P

Forecasts

General Hubble (15/8), Masterdream (3/1), Diamond Twin (4/1), High Grounds (15/2), Dynamic Kate (17/2), Aire Valley Lad (10/1), Poppop (12/1), Howzat Hiris (20/1), Oliver's Island (22/1), Dr Lockdown (40/1), Smart Connection (50/1)

Upped in trip, MASTERDREAM showed improved form back over hurdles when landing a conditionals/amateurs event at Hereford 10 days ago and he can follow up racing off the same mark. Diamond Twin could be the main danger as he goes up in trip for his handicap debut, with Dynamic Kate completing the shortlist.
