Jiair Madrik (G)
[T]
Fair winner of a conditions hurdle in France in 2023 but following an absence of more than 2 years, has offered little in pair of hurdle runs for new connections. Previously worn tongue tie replaces hood and remains with plenty to prove.

Stick With Me Sam (G)
FAV
[HT]
Readily off the mark in 8-runner handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, heavy) and followed up with a strong-travelling success in a race run to suit at Warwick (16.3f) on New Year's Eve (hung left home straight). Up another 5 lb but looks capab…

Forcetoreckonwith (M)
[T]
Irish point winner remains a maiden under Rules but improved when runner-up in 2m handicap chase at Sedgefield (soft). Paid the price for again failing to settle when fourth in strongly-run race at Huntingdon latest but this lightly-raced …

Elusive Knight (G)
[P1]
Won sole start in Points. Shaped encouragingly on yard/hurdling debut at Ffos Las (15.8f) in October but disappointed since, latest when upped markedly in trip for handicap hurdle debut (23.9f). Races off a basement however and isn't disco…
