RACE SUMMARY

A facile winner at Catterick over Christmas, NOCTE VOLATUS blotted his copybook by running out at the first at Hereford at the start of the month. He clearly needs keeping in check but the manner of his previous victory suggests he’s worth another chance and he gets the nod.

Newcastle-scorer Avoid de Master and low-mileage Full of Surprises head up the dangers.

RACE SUMMARY

Those with previous hurdling experience don’t set the bar too highly so dual bumper winner SKYTASTIC gets the vote to make the perfect start in this sphere and maintain his unbeaten record in the process. A final-flight error possibly cost Godrevy Point victory at this track a couple of months go so he rates as an obvious danger, ahead of the Nicky Henderson-trained duo.

RACE SUMMARY

FUNAMBULE SIVOLA shaped much better than the bare result at Cheltenham last time and the drop back to 2m should be in his favour judged on his strong-travelling second in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on return. He’s preferred to Moonlighter, who took a step back in the right direction when third at Sandown and is now 6lb below his last winning mark.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: FOXHOLLOW trained by G Cromwell, Ireland.

RACE SUMMARY

FOXHOLLOW appeals on pedigree and hails from the excellent Gavin Cromwell yard so this Irish challenger rates an intriguing contender and one worth siding with to make a winning start. Creggan White Hare has fairly useful winning bumper form to his name so also commands plenty of respect now going hurdling for Fergal O’Brien, with fellow newcomer Ridgeway another to consider.

RACE SUMMARY

An opening mark of 100 looks workable for ANGELS LANDING based on her latest Ludlow second so she’s preferred to fellow juvenile Mind Hunter, who also looks fairly treated from an initial mark in the low 80s. Yambocharlie is worth keeping an eye on in the market for a stable which has enjoyed handicap hurdle success here before.
