Rattling Road^t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 118| CD

15/8

Won an Irish point in April 2022. Winless over hurdles but much improved since switched to this sphere, following up his Hexham victory in ready fashion in 8-runner C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Leading claims up 7 lb in hat-trick bid with further progress anticipated.

Form: 534-411

Coqolino^t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 118

7/1

Losing run stretches back to 2021 but largely held his form in recent months, placed on 3 consecutive occasions prior to finishing a not-disgraced sixth behind Rattling Road in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Meets that rival on much more favourable terms this time.

Form: 8P2236

Yealand²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 116| BF| CD

13/8

Progressive over hurdles last season, winning twice at up to 20.3f and showed benefit of his comeback run when making a winning chase debut at Doncaster (20.5f) in December. Similar form when placed both subsequent starts and another good showing anticipated.

Form: 13-6123

Wild Side Of Life⁷⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: B S Hughes| T: L Morgan| OR: 110| BF

4/1

Irish points winner who showed promise over hurdles. Well supported but he fell just before halfway on return/handicap chase debut at Musselburgh (23.6f) in November. Remains with potential.

Form: 1/2U24-F

Ozzy Cosmo^p1,t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: N W Alexander| OR: 106

20/1

Irish point recruit who landed a 2m Ayr novice hurdle on Rules debut last December but is yet to really kick on and was pulled up in a handicap chase back there 6 weeks ago. Addition of cheekpieces needs to have positive effect now.

Form: 41FF-6P

Forecasts

Yealand (13/8), Rattling Road (15/8), Wild Side Of Life (4/1), Coqolino (7/1), Ozzy Cosmo (20/1)

Low-mileage 8-y-o RATTLING ROAD built on the good impression he created at Hexham when following up in good style over C&D 4 weeks ago and he looks to hold prime claims in his hat-trick bid with further progress anticipated. Wild Side of Life fell early on his return/chase bow at Musselburgh in November, yet the strength behind him in the betting that day shouldn't be forgotten and he needs factoring in, as does Yealand, who is proving consistent.
