Lac De Constance (G)
Pretty smart at his peak but hasn't seen much of the track in recent years. Showed he retains ability when sixth of 8 in 23f Market Rasen handicap hurdle on his second outing since returning from a further 13 months off. Has first chase st…

Jipcot (G)
[T]
Newbury handicap hurdle winner last season who made a positive return to fences when 6 lengths third of 9 over 20.5f at Ayr (soft) 18 days ago, leading for a long way. Sure to go well if showing up here in similar form.

Happy And Fine (G)
[P]
Former C&D scorer who got is head back in front over 3m at Warwick (good to soft) on New Year's Eve. Remains with handicapping scope on old form after a 4 lb rise.

Taras Halls (G)
[B]
Blinkered for first time when scoring at Newcastle (2½m). Pulled up next time but very much back on form when second at Haydock (2½m again) 3 weeks ago (probably would have won with a cleaner jump at the last). Can throw in the odd stinker…

Landen Calling (G)
[P1T]
Won over 3½m at Market Rasen in December 2023. Also a good fourth of 18 over 25f at Cheltenham in October 2024 but hasn't been seen since. First-time cheekpieces replace regular blinkers on return. The betting should help guide given the l…

Heeztheboy (G)

Largely struggled for Pauline Robson but much improved to win 4 of 5 starts for this yard, with the latest win gained over 2½m here just after Christmas. Beat a progressive sort from the Olly Murphy yard on that occasion so even a further …

No Tackle (G)
[V]
C&D scorer who posted a career best to win at Lingfield in November. Backed that up when runner-up there just before Christmas. Ought to be competitive again.
