RACE DESCRIPTION This is a three miles and 45 yards handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 105. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 170.

TIMEFORM VIEW Got back on track to some extent when third in a low-grade handicap hurdle at Doncaster last month, but needs this switch to fences to perk her up further. A well-made sort, so it is possible. Star RatingHHHII BHA 105

TIMEFORMVIEWWent like the best horse at the weights when runner-up at Fontwell in October, but did endure a hard race, and was unable to build on that when disappointing at Exeter last time. Visor applied now. Star RatingHHHII BHA 103

TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden over hurdles, but offered little on chasing debut over C&D 3 weeks ago when always behind. That was a much stronger race, though, and it was his first run for 8 months. May build on that. Star RatingHHHII BHA 100

TIMEFORM VIEW Bolted up on debut for this yard at Hexham last month, and improved further in defeat when runner-up to another thriving sort at Sedgefield last time. Still lightly raced and looks a big player. Star RatingHHHHH BHA 98

TIMEFORM VIEW Improved for this headgear combination of late, relishing the step up in trip when winning at Sedgefield in October, and has run well to finish second last twice. Should be thereabouts once more. Star RatingHHHHI BHA 91
