Selected odds by:
Landed back-to-back 2m4f Sedgefield handicaps at the end of last year but came in a below-par fifth of 10 in 2m Newcastle handicap last time. Sort to bounce back though.
|
Progressive type who bagged a pair of maiden hurdles at Newcastle and Hereford before posting a very good second of 11 on his handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f) 13 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb.
|
Reliable sort who resumed winning ways in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Usual visor replaces cheekpieces and he's well in the mix despite a 5 lb weights rise.
|
C&D winner in September and refitted with cheekpieces for the first time since when bagging 9-runner handicap hurdle at Doncaster (20.8f, good) 8 days ago. Needs considering with headgear again sported.
|
Back on the up since reverted to hurdles and he posted a very good second of 11 in handicap at Haydock (21.2f, soft) 63 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's a likely player with few miles still on the clock.
|
C&D winner who has been brought along steadily after 8 months off, not knocked about when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Not without interest.
|
Landed a pair of handicap hurdles in early 2024 but yet to fire this season, sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19f) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
|
Successful 3 times last season and resumed with a good fourth at Doncaster (19.4f) in November. Below par since though so others appeal more despite an easing mark.
|
Resumed winning ways at Sedgefield in December and has continued in good nick, third of 9 to Achnamara in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) last time. Can't be ruled out.
|
On the up and made it two wins from his last three starts in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts despite having a 6 lb higher mark to overcome now.
|
Advanced his form on the back of wind surgery when going in for the first time in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb but scored comfortably there so not taken lightly back up in trip.
|
French recruit who opened his account on British soil at Perth (20f) last May. Took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19f) 13 days ago. Can make his presence felt off a 2 lb lower mark.
|
Gained reward for his consistency when opening his account in 11-runner maiden at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) last month. Holds solid claims back in handicap company.
|
Low-mileage type who is on the up since sent handicapping, scoring twice at Ayr last month. Up another 7 lb but he remains one to consider in his hat-trick bid.
|
Winless since early 2023 but he comes here in good form, refitted with a hood when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 19 days ago. Possibilities.
|
Rejuvenated in recent starts and bagged back-to-back handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle in November. Posted another good effort when fifth at Musselburgh (2m4f) last time and can make her presence felt after a break.

Forecasts
I Am Max (7/2), Sayva (13/2), Nordic Tiger (7/1), Ashington (17/2), Ridin Solo (11/1), Starlyte (12/1), Foster's Fortune (12/1), The Jeweller's Pet (12/1), Ballyfort (14/1), Singapore Trip (14/1), Imperial Data (16/1), Harper Valley (18/1), Galahad Threepwood (25/1), Achnamara (25/1), Salsada (28/1), Rafferty's Return (40/1)
This is wide open but the vote goes to Sandy Thomson's low-mileage I AM MAX, who took a step forward when runner-up at Haydock last time and can continue his progress after another break here. Sayva is another improving sort and he heads the list of dangers, although Ballyfort, Achnamara, Ridin Solo and The Jeweller's Pet also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
