Whiskey On Ice (G)
Showed fair form in 4 maiden hurdles for Shark Hanlon in Ireland last summer. Not at same level starting out for new yard/after 5 months off when fifth of 8 in a Hexham maiden (20.1f) in December but that ought to have blown the cobwebs aw…

Benefit Ben (G)
[B]
Dual winner over hurdles who produced a career best in refitted blinkers when opening his chase account over C&D in December. Not in same form when fifth back here (20.3f) later that month but he's certainly no forlorn hope returned to tim…

Take Chance (G)
[P]
Irish raider who has found some progress in handicaps of late, fourth in a big field affair at Down Royal prior to finishing a good staying on third at Punchestown (3m) in December. Respected with cheekpieces again the headgear of choice a…

Dearkeithandkaty (G)
Placed on only start in bumpers and has shown improved form sent handicapping over hurdles last 2 starts, narrowly denied by an unexposed type when runner-up at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) on latest outing in November. Can make his presence fel…

Lizzie Luna (M)
FAV
Sole success in a mares' maiden here last February and back to that sort of form when creditable second of 13 in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago, battling well and just failing. Another meriting consideration with a repeat.

Evenwood Sonofagun (G)
[PT]
Landed a quick-fire double at Cartmel last May but hit and miss since, latest when held in Class 4 handicap at Catterick (19.3f, good, 40/1) 35 days ago. Worth checking if the betting hints at a resurgence back up in trip from further redu…

Dunnet Head (G)
[PT]
Bumper/hurdles winner for Iain Jardine earlier in his career but he's gone with no encouragement in hurdle/2chase starts upon joining present stable this winter. Switch back to smaller obstacles needs to have positive effect from sliding m…

Reflection Of You (M)

Point/course bumper winner whose form proved up and down in 4 runs over fences but bounced back to form returned to this sphere when all out to hold re-opposing Lizzie Luna by a nose in a C&D contest 6 weeks ago. Handicapper reacted with a…
