Selected odds by:

Golden De Coeur¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 110

5/1

Fair hurdler form and has left his inauspicious chase debut form well behind the last twice, latterly finding just one too good at Hereford (21f, good to soft). The winner didn't do much for the form when pulled up next time but this 9-y-o at least appears to be going the right way over fences.

Form: 234-P42

West Warhorse^t1⁹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 106| DWS

12/1

Fair winning hurdler but below par on return here in October and subsequent chase debut at Sedgefield wasn't particularly inspiring. Now tried in a tongue strap.

Form: 71P3-55

Pitwood Road^b⁴⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J J Burke| T: T O'Brien| OR: 106

9/2

Bumper/hurdles winner and also successful sole start between the flags. Best effort yet in this sphere when fourth of 14 in a 25f Thurles handicap in December but this Irish raider will need to improve if she's to open her chase account.

Form: 21-P704

Zestful Hope^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: David Bass| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 105| D

13/2

Fair handicap hurdler/chaser who, fitted with cheekpieces, went agonisingly close to getting off the mark in this sphere at Uttoxeter in November. Delivered another good shift at Hereford recently and it's not hard to envisage this 8-y-o playing a leading role.

Form: 044232

Rajjamataz^p⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Charlie Hammond| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 104

9/1

Off the mark over fences at Fontwell last May and followed that with a couple of decent efforts in defeat. Didn't find much when it came to the crunch on his reappearance at Uttoxeter in November but he is at least entitled to come on for that run.

Form: 5P-1225

Fever Dream^t¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 101

11/2

Winner over hurdles at Perth last summer and followed that with a couple of respectable efforts in defeat. Yet to trouble the judge in this sphere and while his latest third at Hereford was a creditable effort, he has a fair bit to find with Golden de Coeur on that evidence.

Form: 25P483

Ideallko¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 85| D

9/4

Winner of handicap chases at Ffos Las and Plumpton during early stages of last season and notched third success over fences at Windsor on New Year's Eve. Followed up back hurdling at Warwick recently and he has to be feared now returned to the larger obstacles.

Form: 5F24-11

Forecasts

Ideallko (9/4), Pitwood Road (9/2), Golden De Coeur (5/1), Fever Dream (11/2), Zestful Hope (13/2), Rajjamataz (9/1), West Warhorse (12/1)

ZESTFUL HOPE has been knocking on the door in recent months and shades preference ahead of the hat-trick seeking Ideallko. It's by no means a two-horse race, though, with Golden de Coeur seemingly getting the hang of things over fences and Rajjamataz likely to strip fitter following his reappearance spin at Uttoxeter.
