Haku⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D C Costello| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 88| CD

9/1

C&D winner who was successful 3 times at Wolverhampton last year. Again gave his running when fifth of 7 in handicap (20/1) at this course (11f) 6 weeks ago and he's not ruled out back down in grade with yard going well.

Form: 12134-5

Victory Shout^p1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 89| D

10/1

Winner at Hamilton last summer on final start for K. R. Burke. Pulled up on hurdling debut, but ran well when second of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago. Merits consideration with cheekpieces applied.

Form: 72201-2

Almosh'her⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 88| BF

4/6

Justified support on debut when winning at Southwell in December and ran at least as well when second of 13 in novice (6/4) at this course (11f) 44 days ago. Could be able to resume winning ways as he goes handicapping.

Form: 1-2

(7)

Arqoob¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: L Wadham| OR: 84

10/1

Fair winning hurdler who ran well back on the Flat when third at Southwell in January. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at the same course (12.1f) 11 days ago and he can give another good account back down in grade.

Form: 530/355

(5)

Gaassee^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Jack Morland| OR: 84| CD

9/2

C&D winner but 14 runs since last success in 2022. Encouragement on first 2 starts for current yard, but not in the same form when fourth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) 25 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 747-424

(4)

Oslo¹⁰⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 76

20/1

Fairly useful on the Flat but without a win since 2020 in this sphere. Fourth at this course both starts on the level last year, though well held in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good, 2/1) in November. Others preferred.

Form: 466/744-

(6)

Buxted Too^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70| CD

18/1

With headgear reapplied, capitalised on easing mark when winning 12-runner handicap (12/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago, well on top finish. Back up in grade but he remains well treated on old form and can remain competitive.

Form: 18375-1

Forecasts

Almosh'her (4/6), Gaassee (9/2), Haku (9/1), Arqoob (10/1), Victory Shout (10/1), Buxted Too (18/1), Oslo (20/1)

ALMOSH'HER has made a promising start to his career, winning at Southwell on debut before sticking to his task well when runner-up at this course last time, so he is taken to double his tally with further improvement to come. Buxted Too won with something in hand over C&D on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Victory Shout.
