5/4

Ended his time with Patrick Neville out of sorts but, having been picked up very cheaply, proved at least as good as ever when scoring at Leicester (22.7f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago, seemingly revitalised by a return to front running/chasing. Not sure to be in the same mood, however.

9/2

Confirmed herself one of the best hunters around when landing the Festival Challenge Cup at Cheltenham Festival last year. Let down by jumping all 3 starts this term, but this represents a significant drop in grade and she's ridden by a fully-fledged professional rider for the first time.

Form: 211-UFP

The Wolf^b,t¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 130| D

11/8

Not straightforward but in fine form in November when taking small-field handicaps at Huntingdon and Leicester. Labouring some way out when gunning for the hat-trick back from a break at Carlisle last month but back on song when bumping into one at Kempton (24f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Mahons Glory (5/4), The Wolf (11/8), Pedley Wood (4/1), Sine Nomine (9/2)

It's fair to say things haven't gone to plan for SINE NOMINE this season, but she was one of the best hunters around last year so can get her career back on track partnered by a fully-fledged professional rider for the first time. The Wolf wasted no time getting back to form when finishing runner-up at Kempton a fortnight ago, so he can edge out last-time-out winner Mahons Glory for the forecast spot.
