THE TIMEFORM VIEW MUTUAL RESPECT hasn’t been in top form since returning from a break but the assessor is giving him every chance so he’s awarded the tentative vote. Uncle Al will need a good test at this trip but still commands respect, while Grandad’s Cap may well leave his hurdles form behind now tackling the larger obstacles.

Tom Midgley (3) J Sam England, Guiseley T Yorkshire Health Solutions Ltd S

TIMEFORM VIEW Found improvement to get off the mark over fences at Southwell in October but had fortune on his side (leader crashed out) when following up at Sedgefield (21.1f) later in the month. Has continued the good work TFR###!! BHA94 with a trio of placed efforts since.

TIMEFORM VIEW £50,000 purchase out of unraced sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser Hidden Cyclone. Went close sole start in points and has made a promising start to Rules career, finishing second in a Stratford bumper and third in an Aintree novice hurdle. Drop to 16.9f looked against him at Newcastle.

TFR####! BHA115

THE TIMEFORM VIEW KAKA’S COUSIN changed hands for £160,000 following a runner-up effort in a point and with his yard going better now, this looks a maiden there for the taking.

Centurion’s Sister receives weight from most and she can make her presence felt again, while this step back up in trip will suit Ballyeaston.
