Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: David Bass| T: H D Daly| OR: 120

7/2

Dual winner over hurdles who confirmed promise of chasing debut when winning 4-runner novice at Exeter (17.5f) in December. Shaped as if amiss next time, but soon back on track when third of 5 in handicap at this course (15.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Respected.

Form: 68-31P3

Mighty Moth^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Joe Anderson⁽³⁾| T: Noel Williams| OR: 118| D

2/1

Fair winning hurdler and good effort when runner-up at Wincanton on second start over fences on Boxing Day. Also placed on next outing, before showing improved form in first-time cheekpieces when successful at Lingfield (20f, soft) 15 days ago. Major player.

Form: 2-8U231

Easy To Follow^p1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Luke Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 111| D

16/1

Won first 2 starts over hurdles and resumed with good second in handicap at Bangor in October. However, has disappointed both outings since, labouring long way out when last of 4 at Lingfield (20f, soft) on chase debut 15 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for.

Form: 114-264

Kosasiempre⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 110| BF| C

3/1

Won twice over hurdles early this season and made a successful chasing debut in handicap at this course (22.7f) in December. Only narrowly denied at Fakenham 3 weeks later, but knocked back by a mistake when pulled up last time. Could fare better on less testing ground.

Form: 52312P

Shakeyatailfeather⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Tristan Durrell⁽³⁾| T: D Skelton| OR: 105

5/1

Off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot in September and encouraging start over fences when fourth at Doncaster (19.1f) in November. Lesser effort 2 weeks later, but back to form when fourth at Taunton (23f) last time. Could be in the mix.

Form: 126404

Pitwood Road³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Peter Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 105

11/1

Bumper/hurdles winner and best effort yet in this sphere when fourth of 14 in a Thurles handicap (25.1f) in December. Backed up that run when second at Southwell (20.4f, soft) last month, but more needed on first start since leaving Terence O'Brien.

Form: 1-P7042

Forecasts

Mighty Moth (2/1), Kosasiempre (3/1), Party Vibes (7/2), Shakeyatailfeather (5/1), Pitwood Road (11/1), Easy To Follow (16/1)

In first-time cheekpieces, MIGHTY MOTH took a step forward when winning easily at Lingfield 15 days ago and she can score again now that she's up and running in this sphere. Party Vibes wasted no time getting back to form when third against the males at this course last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Shakeyatailfeather.
