North Moon (G)
Modest form when fourth in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in the summer for W. P. Mullins but left that yard cheaply after his chasing debut and since pulled up in a point. Hard to fancy back under Rules.

Berkenshtaaap (G)
Winning Irish pointer but yet to better modest form in bumpers/hurdles under Rules, tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) when last seen in November. Type to do better now handicapping over a longer trip.

Idaho Valley (G)
[T1]
Point winner who has proved consistent rather than progressive over hurdles and met with defeat at short odds when only third in a 9-runner novice hurdle at Huntingdon a fortnight ago. Makes handicap debut in tongue tie.

The Great Escape (G)

Fast Work (G)
Improved effort switched to handicap company when third at Wetherby on Boxing Day and wasn't disgraced up in grade when seventh of 17 at this C&D (good to soft) 47 days ago. Respected.

Stung By Tariffs (G)
Showed ability on hurdling debut at Carlisle and back on track when third in a novice event at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 31 days ago. Longer trip likely to suit and he's a respected handicap newcomer.

Land Of Punt (G)
FAV
[P1]
Has improved with each start over hurdles, very much appealing as one for handicaps over this sort of trip when a plugging on third in an 8-runner novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 38 days ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Jehol De Thaix (G)
Unexposed sort who shaped as if needing the outing when sixth of 10 on his 21f Wetherby handicap debut/reappearance at the end of October. Now 3 lb lower but perhaps best watched after another 4 months off.

Lheur De Gloire (G)

Seemingly brought along gradually in maiden/novice hurdles, not knocked when sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 50/1) 50 days ago. Could do with learning to settle but but rates as a likely improver on handicap d…

Beep Beep Becky (M)
Runner-up in an Irish point. Has been brought along steadily over hurdles, a never-dangerous 13th in 2m novice at Huntingdon in December. Appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping over this markedly longer distance. Engaged 3.40 …
