Mavis Pike²³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 105| BF| D

5/1

Won a couple of handicap hurdles over this sort of trip last term and appeals as the type to make a chaser. Likely player on switch to fences.

Onewayortother^p³¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 105| D

7/1

Made the frame in all 3 starts over fences last season, including when respectable third of 10 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, good, 5/1) in November. Not seen since but warrants respect on return.

Form: 504/333-

Chuggy¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 100

10/3

Pulled up sole outing in points but is from a good family that has served this stable well and he ran with promise in 3 starts over hurdles last term. Could be a contender on switch to larger obstacles.

Form: P/335-

En Avant^t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 99| D

9/1

Fair hurdle winner who was off for 21 months before posting an encouraging third of 5 in C&D handicap chase in July. Went backwards from that run here last month, however, and others appeal more.

Form: 1180/35

Dexter^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Toby Wynne| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 97| BF

7/2

Off the mark at third time of asking for this yard at Cartmel (17.3f) in August and ran to similar level when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase over C&D (good, 11/4) 24 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Shortlist material.

Form: 3P-2314

Auntie Maggie³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: J J Burke| T: A Ralph| OR: 94| CD

15/2

Won 3 times over hurdles earlier this year but well below best at Worcester on debut over fences 30 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 411656

Dante's Inferno³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Luke Scott⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 80

9/2

Made the frame in a trio of handicap hurdles earlier this term but is still looking for his first success and drop back in trip likely not ideal on chase debut here.

Form: PP3-434

Forecasts

Chuggy (10/3), Dexter (7/2), Dante's Inferno (9/2), Mavis Pike (5/1), Onewayortother (7/1), Auntie Maggie (15/2), En Avant (9/1)

Dual hurdle scorer MAVIS PIKE begins her career over the larger obstacles off a fair mark and could be the answer. Dexter ran well here last month and may provide the biggest threat, whilst Dan Skelton's chasing debutant Chuggy is also of interest.
