Stynes^t²⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 120| D

6/1

Won at Exeter on firm ground in October but couldn't back that up off his revised mark and unlikely to fast ground here. May need this after a break so probably best watched on chase debut.

Form: 0/19414-

Druid's Folly^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 119| BF| D

10/11

Beaten favourite last time out but he's the type to do better over fences and he looks an interesting runner dropped back down in trip. Should go well once again.

Form: 1/31352-

Sarpech^p1¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 108| D

14/1

Won Huntingdon handicap hurdle last season and ran well when fifth in better race at Cheltenham in November. Blundered badly on chase debut a couple of weeks back and looks up against it here. First-time cheekpieces tried.

Form: 18585-U

Deauville Dancer^t²⁰⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Aidan Coleman| T: David Dennis| OR: 108| D

9/2

Better on the Flat than he has been over hurdles but not completely dismissed if he can return to the form of his Carlisle runner-up effort two starts back. May need this on chase debut and probably best watched despite a positive jockey booking.

The Way You Dance^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: S Corby⁽³⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 107| CD

8/1

Back-to-back winner over hurdles last year and rates the type to do better over fences. Jockey well worth his 3lb claim and no surprise to see him go well on chase debut.

Form: 481143-

Bold Duke⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Benjamin Poste⁽³⁾| T: E G Bevan| OR: 97| D

8/1

Just one win from 20 starts in the NH sphere to date. Handicap market fallen some way since he last won but for good reason and in no form recently. Opposable on chase debut.

Form: 93/8740-

Forecasts

Druid's Folly (10/11), Yes Daddy (7/2), Deauville Dancer (9/2), Stynes (6/1), Bold Duke (8/1), The Way You Dance (8/1), Sarpech (14/1)

DRUID'S FOLLY could be hard to beat here and he can gain compensation after he was a beaten favourite last time out. The Way You Dance could do better over fences with a talented conditional booked while Deauville Dancer ran well two starts back over hurdles and may be capable of bouncing back.
