Saint Polo (G)
FAV
[P1]
Gambled on and left previous hurdles efforts behind when lengths second on 2½m Sedgefield handicap debut last month. Backed that up with a sound third of 5 at Taunton (3m) and he's respected sent chasing (has pointing background).

Grain Trade (G)
[HT]
Strong-travelling sort scored on second chase outing at Market Rasen (19f) in October and had the race at his mercy when falling here next time. Would've doubled his tally over fences if not for unseating after the last back at Market Rase…

Model Approach (G)
[V]
Dual juvenile hurdle winner FOR Adrian Keatley. Dropped a long way in the weights for this yard prior to landing a 12-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (2m) last week. Visor worn there is retained and he's potentially interesting having a…

Daany (G)
[H]
Front-runner was underwhelming over hurdles last season but back on track sent chasing when second at Wincanton in April. Clearly not himself under a change of tactics at Hereford last week, though, so bit to prove now.

Gone In Sixty (G)
Finally opened his account over hurdles at Fakenham in June and has finished runner-up on 5 consecutive occasions in the autumn, 4 of those coming over fences. Has had plenty of chances from this kind of mark, though he may benefit from th…

Ballywood (G)
[BT]
Veteran is without a win since 2019 but arrives in decent heart, weakening only late on having done plenty in front and made a bad blunder 5 out when third of 6 in handicap chase at Hereford (2m, good to soft, 4/1) 50 days ago. Others stil…

Holy Legend (G)

Couple of fair efforts on his hurdling CV but little to shout about in 4 starts over fences last season.

Millies Mite (M)

Won over 19.5f here last April but has failed to complete on 5 of her 6 starts since, so hard to have much faith in at present.
