Bertie's Ballet (G)
FAV
Course bumper winner who was successful at Haydock last January. Given a considerate comeback when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (9/1) 27 days ago after 11 months off, shaping as if as good as ever but not knocked about. Makes…

Ginger Mail (G)
[P]
Successful at Ayr off 4 lb higher last January and wasn't disgraced when third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (12/1) 21 days ago, though left behind by the front pair late on. C&D winner and solid claims with sights lowered.

Chase A Fortune (G)
[P]
Won at Wetherby in December wearing first-time cheekpieces and ran well both starts since from higher marks, second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (9/2) 19 days ago, sticking at it gamely behind a lightly-raced rival. Can continue t…

Highly Recommended (G)
Won a novice hurdle at Ludlow by 17 lengths in October 2024 but fell at Ayr 457 days ago on handicap/stable debut and not seen since. Long absence remains a concern and market can guide with yard also saddling Bertie's Ballet and Heart Abo…

Admiralty House (G)
[H]
Free-going sort has yet to recapture best since leaving Alan King but ran better from a slipping mark when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (14/1) 43 days ago, headway before 2 out but one paced after. Claims if he can build on…

Liberty Coach (G)
[P]
Useful on the Flat and left his hurdling debut form behind when third at Wetherby in late December but proved a let-down at Doncaster (13/2) 3 weeks ago, off the pace and no response from 2 out. Could do better on handicap debut with cheek…

Triple Crown Ted (G)
FAV
Won at this C&D in November on second hurdling start but found it tougher under penalty when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Ayr (9/2) 31 days ago against above-average prospects, shaping as if 8-week absence might have been telling late …

Heart Above (G)
Has won twice at this venue, most recently over 21f last November, and bounced back to form when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (28/1) 43 days ago. Should be competitive given his impressive Kelso record.

Lance Les Des (G)
Third of 11 in maiden hurdle at this C&D (15/2) 46 days ago, making his presence felt against a couple of potentially above-average novices. Looks ready for this switch to handicaps and likely to be capable of better.

Travis Wheatley (G)
Point winner/maiden hurdler was prominent in the market when fourth of 6 at this C&D on stable debut in November. Pulled up in 3m handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (10/3) 67 days ago, sloppy jumping evident as he weakened from 3 out. Not long…
