9/2
Lightly-raced maiden who came in only eleventh of 17 on his handicap debut at Chepstow (19.4f, good) 52 days ago. Needs a big step forward.

17/2
A fair bumper winner who has been brought along steadily in this sphere, coming in fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 31 days ago. Up in trip and much respected now going into handicaps.

Made an encouraging start to present campaign when just touched off in 25.5f Hereford handicap but hasn't backed it up and pulled up in 2m5f Ffos Las handicap last time. Others appeal more.

9/1
Still a maiden hurdler but he posted a respectable third of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy) 12 days ago. Merits consideration off an easing mark.

Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 12.5f) for Charlie Johnston but ended 2023 out of sorts. Yet to get near that level over hurdles so is hard to make a case for despite a falling mark.

Point winner and made a successful chase debut starting out for this yard at Newton Abbot in May. In-and-out form since but can't be discounted back in this sphere with cheekpieces refitted.

10/1
Scored over fences at Fontwell in April 2023 (final outing for Robert Walford). Much his best run for current yard when resuming from 11-month absence with excellent second of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy) 12 days ago. Weighted to go close off an unchanged mark.

Advanced her form when easily getting off the mark at Ludlow in November but not in anything like the same form when seventh at Uttoxeter since. Needs to bounce back.

Lightly-raced maiden who offered little on handicap debut when fifth of 11 at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Others are preferred.

Got off the mark at Warwick in May and posted solid efforts to twice make the frame efforts upon return in October. Struggling when unseated last at Hereford 33 days ago though so needs to get back on track.

C&D winner but he came in last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with work to do.

Fair maiden on Flat and more like it over hurdles with a brace of fourth-place finishes in handicaps around 17f this autumn. Didn't appear to stay when stepped up to this sort of trip at Fontwell last time, though.

Forecasts

Coconut Twist (7/2), Push To Pass (9/2), Olivia Kate (15/2), Bobby's Fortune (17/2), Newtonian (17/2), Chauffeur Driven (9/1), William Philo (10/1), Wot You Wearing (10/1), Sindabella (11/1), Von Hallers (14/1), Stage Show (22/1), Demilion (28/1), Silver Chord (33/1), Instant De Bonheur (33/1), Caspers Court (40/1), Hi Riko (66/1), Jewel Eyed Judy (80/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and WILLIAM PHILO looks the way to go on the back of his excellent recent C&D second. Chauffeur Driven is another weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Sindabella and Bobby's Fortune.
