Selected odds by:
Made all in mares' handicap here (20f) on her return in November but her form has nosedived of late. Has something to prove.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who showed some ability when fifth in Wincanton novice in November. Needs to bounce back now handicapping however after lesser showings at Exeter and Plumpton since.
|
Hasn't done much wrong since sent handicapping, notching her second success over C&D in November. Posted a solid fourth off a 8 lb higher mark at Plumpton since so he needs considering.
|
Lightly-raced maiden who took her form up a notch on his handicap bow when third of 15 at Doncaster (24.4f, soft) 37 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Firmly in the picture.
|
Has hit the ground running for his new yard and easily bagged 14-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, heavy) 8 days ago. The one to beat under a 7 lb penalty.
|
Irish point winner who posted his best effort on his handicap debut when second of 8 at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 30 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up despite a 2 lb rise with his stamina drawn out more.
|
It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2020 and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Sedgefield (19.3f, heavy) 35 days ago. Reverts to hurdles for the first time since 2021 with work to do.

Forecasts
Hermes Le Gris (11/10), Mistymal (10/3), For Gina (4/1), Little Talks (17/2), Crem Fresh (18/1), Eurkash (20/1), Mountain Bay (66/1)
HERMES LE GRIS is thriving under the expert tutelage of Robbie Llewellyn and a 7 lb penalty for his facile Huntingdon victory doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Mistymal appeals as the one to give him most to do on the back of an improved Southwell second, with the lightly-raced Little Talks and C&D winner For Gina also in the mix.
- Hermes Le Gris11/10
- Mistymal10/3
- Little Talks17/2
