18/1
Landed 2m Plumpton handicap hurdle in January 2022 and proved he retains all his ability back from a long absence when just failing in a 3-runner event over C&D on Boxing Day. Not quite in same form when third at Sandown 19 days ago.

10/1
Has gradually worked her way back to form this season and returned to winning ways in 6-runner event at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) 13 days ago, racing clear and coming home unchallenged. This is tougher but she's respected as a last-time-out winner.

6/4
Fairly useful on the Flat and improving all the time as a hurdler, winning a brace of handicaps at this venue last summer and even better form in finding only one too good the last twice. Big player.

Placed in a bumper in France and improved further when finishing a close third upped to 2½m at Uttoxeter (heavy) in December. Underperformed switched to a handicap at Wincanton subsequently, though.

Bucephalus38
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-9| J: H Cobden| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  105
7/1
Fairly useful 1¼m Flat winner for current yard who is yet to finish out of the frame in 5 starts over hurdles, albeit failing to fully see things out having again taken a keen hold when third at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) last month. Likely to run well once more with Cobden taking over in the saddle.

Much improved when winning a juvenile hurdle at Hereford (2m) for Alan King last winter but underwhelming since, including on the Flat last summer.

4/1
Bumper winner who ran up to his best after 3 months off when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 18 days ago. Merits consideration.

Took a big step forward from debut to land a Wincanton novice in March. Backed that up when second at Ludlow but has cut little ice in handicaps since, including for current yard.

7/2
Fairly useful winner on Flat in France for Jean-Claude Rouget. Opened his account over hurdles in facile fashion in a weak race at Wetherby (2m, heavy) recently and looks a very interesting runner on handicap debut with 4-y-o allowance.

Forecasts

He's A Latchico (6/4), Torneo (7/2), Copper Cove (4/1), Bucephalus (7/1), Heure De Gloire (10/1), Intimate (16/1), Nashville Nipper (18/1), Stopherandgo (150/1), Tying The Knot (200/1)

15:20 Fontwell - 14 February 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

HE'S A LATCHICO shaped well in finishing clear of the rest with a fellow improver at Lingfield last month and is a confident selection to maintain his unbeaten record at this track. Fairly useful Flat winner Torneo is easily most interesting of the opposition now switched to a handicap armed with a handy 4-y-o weight allowance. Bucephalus is proving consistent and makes most appeal of the rest.
