Form: 51P/56 D
OR: 95
W: 12st 0lb
Age: 9 yo Gelding
Lightly-raced 3m winning hurdler but he's been well held both starts this season, sixth at Sedgefield (3m3f) last month; goes over fences now with a bit to prove.
Form: 7625U3
OR: 92
W: 11st 11lb
Age: 6 yo Gelding
Successful in points but still a maiden over hurdles and fences; posted a solid third of seven in 2m4f handicap chase here last time though so he's no forlorn hope stepping up in trip.
Form: 8051
OR: 92
W: 11st 11lb
Age: 6 yo Gelding
Winning Irish pointer who left his hurdling form behind on the back of a wind op when successful on his chasing debut in 3m2f handicap at Doncaster 24 days ago; up 5lb but has more to offer and another bold showing is on the cards.
Form: -35165 CD
OR: 76
W: 10st 9lb
Age: 7 yo Gelding
Gained his first win in this sphere over C&D in December but below that form both runs since, going freely when a fading fifth of eight at Lingfield (3m) 23 days ago; he needs to bounce back.
Form: -P45P7
OR: 73
W: 10st 6lb
Age: 11 yo Gelding
Not one to rely on and he was tried in a change of headgear when beating just two in 2m4f Musselburgh handicap chase 27 days ago; others are preferred.
Form: 615943 CD
OR: 70
W: 10st 3lb
Age: 6 yo Gelding
A fortunate C&D winner in November but he comes here on the back of a very good third of eight in 3m Wetherby handicap 17 days ago; weighted to go close off a 1lb lower mark.

Betting Forecast

Verdict
C&D scorer Halfway House Lad seem sure to go well on the back of a very good Wetherby third but Sam England’s winning pointer JAMIESCONN was quick to make his mark in this sphere at Doncaster and can make light of a 5lb rise in the weights. Hawkseye View could also have a say now his stamina is unlocked more.[Peter Entwistle]
