Winless for Lucinda Russell despite some good efforts but opened his account for new stable at Kelso in October. Good fifth there since so he's not taken lightly.

One-time useful chaser but seemed on the decline last season and he has yet to fire in two runs this term. Others appeal more.

Multiple point winner and fair winning chaser too at his best but he looked very rusty after 19 months when fifth of 8 in handicap chase over C&D 25 days ago. Needs a big step forward now.

C&D winner for Stef Keniry last term who posted encouraging second of 9 in 20f handicap chase at Newcastle on return/yard debut. Can strip fitter for that effort so he's in the mix dropped 1 lb.

Veteran who made all at Hexham and Kelso this autumn but he has gone off the boil and ran badly back at Kelso last time. The omens don't look good for a third win at present.

It's now eleven runs since his last win in 2018 but he got back on track in first-time visor when second of 8 over C&D 25 days ago. Headgear retained so much respected.

Ended last season with a win here (20f) and got right back on track with emphatic C&D victory 11 days ago by 7½l from Buckled. Expected to be bang there turned out under a 7 lb penalty.

Temperamental sort. who came in last of 5 to Brotherly Company in 22f handicap chase here 25 days ago. Readily opposed.

Forecasts

Eagle Ridge (9/4), Oscar Ceremony (11/4), Brotherly Company (10/3), Exit To Where (7/2), Buckled (7/1), Shanroe Street (15/2), Acdc (12/1), Racing Pulse (14/1), Danboru (16/1), Emirat De Catana (18/1), Damiens Dilemma (50/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but EAGLE RIDGE looked well ahead of his mark when an impressive C&D scorer earlier in the month so is taken to defy a 7 lb penalty. Brotherly Company is sure to provide a stern test on the back of his own recent victory here with Oscar Ceremony another with good course form to consider in a competitive handicap.

  1. EAGLE RIDGE (IRE)
  2. BROTHERLY COMPANY (IRE)
  3. OSCAR CEREMONY (IRE)
