Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 145| D

20/1

Smart chaser at his best for Willie Mullins and showed plenty of zest on comeback for new yard in Aintree handicap hurdle in October. Failed to cash in on a lenient Flat mark at Newcastle 3 weeks ago.

Form: 5436-04

Miranda³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: Angus Cheleda⁽⁷⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 143| D

5/2

Ex-French recruit who has made up into useful 2m hurdler for current yard, better that ever with a smooth win under this rider at Ludlow a month ago. Up 7 lb in a better race but still of interest.

Form: 1P/813-1

Caius Marcius^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: N G Richards| OR: 137| D

18/1

Prolific over fences in 2019 and posted a useful effort over hurdles when runner-up at Southwell in July. Has to cast aside a brace of pretty tame efforts since, though.

Form: 4-32274

Rosie And Millie^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: M Scudamore| OR: 129| D

5/2

Front runner who produced her best effort to date when second at Ascot in November. Unable to get her own way at Sandown but those tactics are easier to pull off here.

Form: 120-424

Blakeney Point^t⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 125| D

22/1

Showed much-improved form to open hurdle account at Bangor (16.6f) in July and following another wind op, he found only one too good at Catterick in November (novice). Looks too high in the weights.

Form: 8-192

Raymond³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 119| CD

13/2

Much improved this term, completing hat-trick over this C&D 39 days ago. Up 9 lb and no conditional this time in what is a deeper race, but he's clearly thriving.

Form: 02-6111

Hazzaar^p1²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: J J Burke| T: T Lacey| OR: 119| BF| D

5/2

Didn't go on as hoped in maiden/novice hurdles for Venetia Williams last term but positive to draw from both efforts in handicaps for current yard in recent weeks. Cheekpieces on.

Forecasts

Rosie And Millie (5/2), Miranda (5/2), Hazzaar (5/2), Proschema (4/1), Raymond (13/2), Manucci (7/1), Swaffham Bulbeck (14/1), Caius Marcius (18/1), Voix Du Reve (20/1), Golden Town (20/1), Blakeney Point (22/1)

Very deep ground in the Greatwood Hurdle was probably against PROSCHEMA, but the weight of support behind him that day suggests his bang in-form yard think he can exploit this mark, He gets the vote in favour of thriving-pair Raymond and Miranda.
