LONGEST TRAVELLER: GOOD IMPRESSION trained by D Burchell, Ebbw Vale, 115 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

There should be more to come from MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE now moving into handicap company so he’s the suggestion. Auditoria came good in a novice last month and was second off this mark in a handicap prior to that so she’s feared most ahead of recent Fakenham scorer Good Impression.

RACE SUMMARY

Ciaran Gethings was quick to pull up ARIZONA CARDINAL after having shaped as if amiss early in the straight at Doncaster last month. Presuming his issues have been resolved, Stuart Edmunds’ Irish-point winner gets the vote to build on his promising Rules debut at the second attempt.

Charlie’s Glance has shown plenty so far over timber so he’s feared, along with Abegudsam.

RACE SUMMARY

BENIGN DICTATOR has shown enough in bumpers to suggest a race of this nature over hurdles is within his compass, so he’s preferred to Drenagh, who sets the standard in this sphere on his pair of runner-up efforts. Of the rest, Western Baron is a well-bred newcomer to keep an eye on.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): Jonjo O’Neill (28 wins from 211 runners, 13%) runs THE COMPOSEUR TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): P Hobbs (3 wins from 21 runners, 14%) runs KEEP ROLLING WEIGHTWATCHER: RAECIUS FELIX won off a handicap mark of 117, his rating is now down 15lb to 102.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RAECIUS FELIX trained by R Menzies, Sedgefield, 176 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

KEEP ROLLING needs to keep the errors at bay but he appeals as being on a workable mark on the pick of his chase exploits, not least his penultimate second in a C&D handicap in December. He gets the narrow vote in what rates an open-looking affair. Poldark Cross is less exposed than most and feared, along with Raecius Felix who takes a drop back in trip.

RACE STATS LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): D Skelton (89 wins from 326 runners, 27%) runs CABOT CLIFFS TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (10 wins from 46 runners, 22%) runs CABOT CLIFFS WEIGHTWATCHER: GLAN Y GORS won off a handicap mark of 115, his rating is now down 10lb to 105.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: STORMY FLIGHT trained by J Scott, Dulverton, 188 miles.

RACE SUMMARY

The step up in trip should suit WICKED WEST so he gets the vote off a fair-looking mark. This does look competitive though, with progressive-pair Here Comes Henry and Mackelduff heading the dangers.

RACE SUMMARY

BURROWS DIAMOND came comfortably clear of a subsequent winner at Newcastle last time and, for all this is a bit more competitive, she’s worth a chance to follow up.

All the others have a chance, but Graces Order and Emmas Joy strike as the main dangers to the selection.

RACE SUMMARY

An impressive winner at Chepstow on chasing bow in October, YOUNG OFFENDER seemingly found the extended 30f stretching his stamina at Exeter thereafter and now back down in trip he could well be worth siding with to get back to winning ways. Recent course winner Docpickedme and Bretney, who also arrives in very good nick, are others fancied to be in the shake up.

A case can be made for lots of these, so at the likely odds it’s worth siding with the returning THE GIRL THAT SANG to capitalise on a handy-looking mark on her debut for Fergal O’Brien. Kings Creek is another weighted to have a say, especially if the cheekpieces are seen to good effect again, while handicap-debutant Hipop des Ongrais must enter calculations too.
