Animal (G)
[T]
Last win came back in December 2023, but he ran more encouragingly than for a while when sixth of 11 in Southern National at Fontwell (27.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, possibly still needing the run. Could fare better as he drops in grade.

Special John (G)

Runner-up on all 3 handicap hurdle outings but, after 6 months off, this winning pointer was strong in the betting and made a successful stable/chasing debut in novice handicap at Exeter (24.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Leading contender.

Hobb's Delight (G)
[P]
Winless last term sent chasing but made the frame on 4 occasions over fences. After 8 months off, possibly needed the run when pulled up in handicap at Fontwell (26f, good to soft) 27 days ago, but has something to find to open his account…

I'm Your Buckaroo (G)
[BT]
Off the mark over hurdles at Plumpton in May and has shown encouragement over fences both starts back from a break, runner-up in handicap at Lingfield (23.5f, good) 23 days ago. Merits consideration with more still to offer as a chaser.

Bebside Banter (G)
[P]
Three-time winner over fences for Chris Grant and left his first 3 runs for this yard behind when landing a 23f Worcester handicap chase in October. Couldn't capitalise on his lower hurdles mark at Kempton last time, but he could go well r…

Unspeakable (G)
[TP]
Doubled his chase tally when scoring at Hereford in October, form boosted by the runner-up since. Ran poorly over hurdles 8 days later, before faring better back chasing when second of 4 at Plumpton (25.7f, good) 17 days ago. Could be in t…

Of Corse I Can (G)
[P]
Maiden over hurdles but left chase debut effort behind with back-to-back wins at Fontwell and Newton Abbot (both at around 26f) in October. Lesser effort after only 5 days off back at Fontwell last time, but he's been given a longer break …

Ted The Thief (G)
Winning pointer who offered little in a trio of maiden hurdles, before showing more sent chasing when fourth of 7 in handicap at Fontwell (21.6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort upped further in trip.

Miami Jim (G)
Failed to complete in points and poor form under Rules, taking little interest from an early stage when well-beaten fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) in October. Has work to do.

He'llstopatthetop (G)
[P1]
Would have probably won but for departing at the last at Fontwell (26f, good) in May 2024 but hasn't kicked on from that effort, finishing well beaten both starts for current yard this season (over hurdles last time). Cheekpieces now reach…

Sheeka Supreme (M)
[P]
Irish point winner but little promise under Rules, in first-time cheekpieces when pulled up soon after the start in handicap chase at Windsor 11 days ago. Best watched from 8 lb out of the weights.
