5/2

A dual winner (around 2m4f) in November for his current yard and not disgraced after 9 weeks off when third of 8 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Can go well with cheekpieces added.

Perfect Pupil^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Daire James McConville⁽⁷⁾| T: M Keighley| OR: 93

13/2

Modest ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who wasn't discredited on his yard debut when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Not ruled out.

Greenrock Abbey⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: R Patrick| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 92| C

9/2

Course winner who comes here below par, tried in blinkers when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good) 6 days ago. Back chasing with more required.

Form: 5-54P45

Everyonesacritic^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 87| CD

10/3

On the up after handicap wins last month over C&D and at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) 29 days ago. Up another 3 lb but he holds leading claims in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 842311

Another Mystery^p,t²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: S Bowen| T: Mrs S J Humphrey| OR: 84

4/1

Unreliable type who posted a solid third of 4 after 10 months off in handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good) 24 days ago. Needs to back it up now.

Form: 176-023

Mystic Man¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring| T: R Potter| OR: 80

33/1

Successful 4 times over fences in 2023 but below par several times for Harry Derham last year and he's yet to scale a revival for his present yard from his sliding mark.

Form: 7P5759

Noah's Light^p,t⁶⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Kimber| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 69| D

9/1

Scored at Newton Abbot last July but arrives out of sorts, a remote eighth in 2m5f Fakenham handicap chase 66 days ago. Lots to prove.

Form: 825PP8

Forecasts

Pep Talking (5/2), Everyonesacritic (10/3), Another Mystery (4/1), Greenrock Abbey (9/2), Perfect Pupil (13/2), Noah's Light (9/1), Mystic Man (33/1)

EVERYONESACRITIC arrives on an upward curve and is taken to make light of a 3 lb weight rise and complete his hat-trick. Pep Talking is expected to build on a recent Huntingdon third after a break and pose the biggest threat with Perfect Pupil also in the mix for his new handler.
