22/1
Close second to a useful sort in newcomers' race at Fontainebleau in March 2023 and more encouragement for this yard when fifth of 12 in a C&D maiden on his seasonal reappearance. Has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts (over fences latest), though, and likely to come up short once more.

10/1
Twice successful on soft/heavy last winter and possibly had drying ground against him after 6 months off when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle in November. However, there were no such excuses next time at Leicester and he's opposable on the back of that poor effort.

Third of 7 in a bumper at Carlisle in October and subsequently shaped fairly well switched to hurdles in a Kempton novice and Southwell maiden. Makes handicap debut off a plausible opening mark and he's high on the shortlist.

Has hinted at ability in 3 starts over hurdles and entirely possible that he'll do better now venturing down the handicap route. Still, others make more appeal on this occasion.

Scored at Newton Abbot for Ben Pauling last summer and followed that with a string of good efforts in defeat. Not at his best since joining present yard but he has at least edged down the weights a touch and will have a fighting chance if able to get back on track.

Ended long losing run when taking a 6-runner handicap here (2½m, soft) last May but has followed that with a series of very low-key performances.

Left previous form behind when opening his account by a wide-margin on heavy ground over this C&D last month. Conditions unlikely to be so testing this time and has gone up 12 lb but he has to be feared all the same.

Forecasts

My Friend Sean (4/5), Kapal Layar (3/1), Greatness Awaits (17/2), Royal Rhythm (10/1), Eagles Gold (18/1), Karaktere D'enfer (22/1), McGowan's Pass (25/1)

12:47 Uttoxeter - 25 January 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

KAPAL LAYAR failed to build on his hurdles debut promise when fourth at Southwell last month but that certainly wasn't a bad effort and he may well be seen in a better light now pitched into a handicap. Olly Murphy's charge shades preference ahead of My Friend Sean, who did the job well when opening his account over C&D and a 12 lb rise may not debar another bold show. Greatness Awaits could also have a part to play if he puts his best foot forward.
