Joltin N Jiving (G)
£40,000 Irish point winner who confirmed Rules debut promise when landing Carlisle novice in good style a year ago. Struggled in Aintree Grade 1 next time but back on track when second on return/handicap bow at Kelso. Bit disappointing in …

Menaggio (G)
[TV]
Fairly useful dual 2m4f chase scorer for Alan King but little impact in 4 runs for current yard, doing too much too soon in first-time visor and tongue strap back hurdling at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve.

Pigeon House (G)
[P]
Dual handicap hurdle winner for Jessie Harrington in Ireland. Creditable second in novices on first 3 outings for Jennie Candlish but not in same form since.

Kingston Narcissus (G)
[T]
Opened his account in Sedgefield maiden hurdle last term and, fitted with a first-time tongue strap, he resumed winning ways in handicap at the same course on Boxing Day. In the mix up 5 lb.

Marlacoo (G)
FAV
[T]
Bumper winner who opened his hurdles account at Ayr a year ago. However, has proved expensive to follow in handicaps since and was just a respectable third tried in headgear at Warwick latest.

Born In The West (G)
Has found some improvement of late, winning 2 of his last 3 starts, both victories coming over further here. Needs considering back down in trip.

Bathgate (G)
FAV
Took his resurgence this season up another notch when quickly resuming ways over C&D 19 days ago. Time was good so should go well again up 4 lb.

Forest Blaze (G)
[V]
Has been running well in handicap hurdles this winter, with two seconds from his last three starts, including at Wetherby (15/8 fav) 18 days ago, proving better than ever in a first-time visor. Up 3 lb for that effort and should give his r…

Gardener (G)
[T]
Disappointing 2024/25 campaign for Olly Murphy but step back in the right direction (fitted with tongue strap) on second start for this yard when third to Bathgate over C&D 19 days ago and potentially on a good mark if building on that.
