I See You Well²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: M G Nolan| T: J W Mullins| OR: 114| CD

12/1

Something of a course specialist, winning 5 times over C&D, and looked rusty after 7 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap chase over C&D 28 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Form: U6226-5

Lady Balko³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 113

1/1

On a roll in handicap hurdles last season, completing a hat-trick at up to 3m. Shaped as if needing the run when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) on his debut over fences 34 days ago so this point scorer can take a step forward.

Form: 11122-5

Born At Midnight²³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Harry Kimber| T: W G M Turner| OR: 112| CD

16/1

Dual C&D winner and he signed off with a good second of 11 in handicap chase at this C&D later in the spring. Much respected on his seasonal return.

Form: 2/34112-

Gold Clermont¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Phillip Armson⁽³⁾| T: A Irvine| OR: 110| CD

9/1

C&D winner who looked rusty after 8 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f) 12 days ago. Reverts to fences on a lenient mark. Interesting.

Form: 18146-6

Sublime Heights^v²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: K Brogan| T: T Lawes| OR: 110| CD

7/1

C&D winner but yet to to his top form in two runs this autumn, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at this C&D 28 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 6261-P4

Jessie Lightfoot³⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Imogen Mathias⁽⁷⁾| T: Henry Oliver| OR: 102| D

3/1

Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver, scoring over fences at Taunton and Southwell before a good third of 18 in 25f Cheltenham handicap 38 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 313553

Forecasts

Lady Balko (1/1), Jessie Lightfoot (3/1), Sublime Heights (7/1), Gold Clermont (9/1), I See You Well (12/1), Born At Midnight (16/1)

C&D scorer GOLD CLERMONT is fancied to take a sizeable step forward from her reappearance and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Course-specialist I See You Well rates a big threat though, with Jessie Lightfoot and Lady Balko also worthy of consideration in an intriguing handicap.
