13/2

Made all and beat a couple of subsequent winners on hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m) in October but disappointing twice since under similar tactics. Back from a break with hood added to tongue tie.

Form: 95-134

9/2

Bumper winner who was unlucky not to land maiden hurdle at Newbury in December (nearly 30 lengths clear when falling last) and duly gained compensation at Uttoxeter following month. Stiff task and proved too free in the Dovecote last time and this is much easier. Hood goes on.

Form: 41-2F1P

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Freddie Gingell| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 128| CD

2/7

Off the mark in C&D novice on return in November and split a promising pair at Newbury next time. The sole British-trained runner in the Supreme last month and he wasn't disgraced, keeping on without being knocked about. Will find this much easier.

Form: 22-126

Falcao⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

250/1

Well beaten in course bumper (tongue tied) and Ludlow novice hurdle (reportedly bled).

Form: 78

300/1

Wings of Eagles gelding. Half-brother to fair staying chaser Reign Suepreme and fair hurdler Sue Be It for the yard. Up against it taking on previous winners on debut.

Forecasts

Tutti Quanti (2/7), Roysse (9/2), Ben Solo (11/2), Palacio (13/2), Jager Time (40/1), Falcao (250/1), Ifan Full Pelt (300/1)

TUTTI QUANTI and Roysse find themselves in much calmer waters having contested the Supreme and Dovecote respectively last time. Paul Nicholls' charge wasn't at all disgraced in the Cheltenham opener and can resume winning ways back at the scene of his November victory. Palacio retains potential back from a break.
