13/8

Cost six figures after winning an Irish point and made a successful chasing debut at Huntingdon in November. Below form at Sandown last time, but he was ridden more patiently that day and he can bounce back returned to this grade with tongue tie applied.

Form: 261245

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 120WS

6/4

Dual novice hurdle winner who was also runner-up in Cheltenham Grade 2 last season. Left his chasing debut form behind when second at Wetherby in November, but failed to repeat that effort at Doncaster a month later. Goes up in trip with tongue strap added (has had wind op).

Form: P30-923

Harjo^p1²²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 119| BF

7/2

Irish point winner who was a ready winner on second chase start at Wincanton in December. Let down by jumping when pulled up at Wetherby next time, but soon back on track when second to a chasing debutant at Hereford 22 days ago. Respected with cheekpieces on first time.

Form: P-431P2

Let's Go Joe^t²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 101

17/2

Runner-up in a point before making a winning hurdles bow for new yard in maiden at Sedgefield in November. However, disappointing on next 2 starts and offered little sent chasing when well held at Ayr 22 days ago. Has work to do back up in trip.

Form: 92-1454

Forecasts

Ukantango (6/4), Mylesfromwicklow (13/8), Harjo (7/2), Let's Go Joe (17/2)

Having made the frame on his first 3 starts in chases, MYLESFROMWICKLOW ran below par in a premier handicap at Sandown on his latest outing, but he is well worth another chance as he drops back down in grade. He is preferred to Harjo, who quickly left behind a lesser effort when runner-up at Hereford earlier this month.
