Hecouldbetheone (G)
[V]
Revitalised for current yard and he displayed a likeable attitude in landing back-to-back Uttoxeter handicaps (at 21f) in June. Good second both starts in October but turned in a rare poor effort at Doncaster last month. Visor reapplied an…

The Bluesman (G)
FAV
[T]
Bumper/maiden hurdle winner from 4 starts for Paul Nicholls who made a mockery of his opening handicap mark sent chasing in 6-runner event at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) on return earlier in the month (went tongue tied). An 8 lb rise m…

Miralago (G)
[PT]
A fairly useful ex-French winning hurdler/chaser who posted a good second for his new stable after 9 months off when runner-up in 2m3f Ffos Las handicap chase in October. Ran to a similar level in reapplied cheekpieces at Haydock since and…

Stratagem (G)
[T]
Useful sort is his pomp but shaped as if needing the run on first outing since leaving Paul Nicholls after 9 months off at Doncaster (24f, soft) recently. Back down in distance and this should reveal what ability remains.

Noche Negra (G)
Got back on the up in no uncertain terms for a new yard after 8 months off when bolting up in 7-runner handicap at Warwick (20f, soft) 12 months ago. Clearly had his fair share of problems to not have been seen since, but is open to improv…

Lylian (G)
Made a good start to his chase career in France over the summer but little to shout about so far on both starts for this yard, again well held under a stark change of tactics at Lingfield (20f, good) last month. Looks an easy swerve.

Moonshine Man (G)
[T]
Hereford hurdle winner back in May and has finished runner-up on 2 of 3 starts in this sphere, latest in a refitted tongue strap at this C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago. Eased 1 lb but the suggestion is he'll need more help for the assessor…

Heeztheboy (G)
Largely struggled for Pauline Robson but much improved to win 3 of his 4 starts for this yard this term, defying an 8 lb rise readily in 8-runner event at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 18 days ago. Handicapper taken a swipe but could well have eve…
