40/1
Bumper/hurdles winner for Fergal O'Brien but has struggled since returning from an absence for his new yard. Needs this switch to chasing to spark a revival.

4/1
Latest win in chase at Hereford in February. Creditable second of 6 in handicap chase (3/1) at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 1 day ago. Has to be taken seriously.

9/4
Has run to a very similar level on 3 of his 4 starts over fences, latest when finding one too strong in 13-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) just over 3 weeks ago. Should find a race coming his way before too long so he's shortlisted.

10/1
French import who was successful in juvenile hurdle at Hereford in March 2023 but, with her mark in freefall since coming to Britain, she's been below par all 4 starts over fences this season after a 20 month-absence.

5/1
Poor form in handicaps chases this season but wasn't disgraced from 2 lb out of the weights when fifth at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) last month. Tongue tie added to his usual cheekpieces and will need to take a step forward to open his account.

5/2
Showed a bit more than previously over fences when third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) just over 3 weeks ago, that effort at least on a par with his best hurdles efforts. No surprise to see him involved nudged up 1 lb.

16/1
Little impact over hurdles for current yard and hasn't fared any better over fences on his last 5 starts, exiting early in unfortunate circumstances over C&D (heavy) earlier in the month. Others preferred all the same.

Forecasts

Dreams Of Diamonds (9/4), Try The Money (5/2), Puddlesinthepark (4/1), The Big Reveal (5/1), Jikala (10/1), Esperti (16/1), Imperial Storm (40/1)

15:45 Ffos Las - 28 February 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to DREAMS OF DIAMONDS, who has run to a very similar level on 3 of his 4 starts over fences and is fancied to go one better than he did over C&D earlier in the month. Try The Money was a place behind the selection that day and he may have to chase him home again, with Puddlesinthepark, who ran creditably at Ludlow on Thursday, rounding off the shortlist.
