Age: 5|  Weight: 12-0| J: D R Fox| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR:  100
Only had 3 starts over hurdles but arrives on back of disappointing handicap debut at Perth (3m, soft) last month. Bit to prove now.

Has improved since fitted with cheekpieces. building on his Worcester second when going one better at Hexham (23f, good) 24 days ago. Unexposed as a stayer and a 5 lb rise may not stop him.

Back on the scoresheet when taking a 3m Perth handicap in June and has made the frame several times since. Shaped as if still in form when fifth of 11 over 17f at Carlisle 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Santa Clarita24
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Young Jnr| OR:  91
Made a winning start for Dan Skelton at Worcester in September. Creditable third over 23f back there next time and might have had her stamina stretched by a stiff track when 17½ lengths sixth of 12 to the reopposing Magical Arthur at Hexham (23f, good) last time. Has changed yard again.

What A Flirth25
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  82
Runner-up in an Irish point. Has shown barely modest form over hurdles but did offer a bit more encouragement when stepped up to 3m at Southwell last time and it's still early days with this top stable.

Won back-to-back 3m handicap chases at Hexham in 2023 but off for 13 months ahead of this return to hurdles. Brian Hughes does the steering but betting perhaps the best guide after a long absence.

Forecasts

Magical Arthur (9/4), Not In Kansas (7/2), Hapy La Vie (13/2), Topkapi Star (15/2), Santa Clarita (10/1), Cusack Park (12/1), Somebody's Fortune (12/1), Dalileo (12/1), What A Flirth (16/1), Iturgeon Du Breuil (20/1), Teddy Mac (33/1)

Verdict

MAGICAL ARTHUR likely has even more to offer over staying trips and can make light of a 5 lb rise for Hexham. Dan Skelton's What A Flirth shaped better when stepped up to 3m at Southwell last time and is second choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking Not In Kansas, who is returning from a break.
