7/2 |
Dangerous Touch
Ability in a point and bumpers; quiet start over hurdles but better in a Warwick maiden last time (2m, good to soft) won by smart stablemate Castle Ivers; looks just the type to kick on now into handicaps.

Korus
Lightly raced but didn't look well treated for handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, soft) and was well beaten at 20-1; down just 2lb but this longer trip could be a positive.

40/1 |
Presenting Nelly
Won four times for Dan Skelton, the handicap off this mark; however, in poor form in the autumn and was sold for £2,000; best watched.

- Our Dylan
- Mr Joshua Newman / K Woollacott

11/1 |
Our Dylan
Consistent sort who deserved his Exeter win (2m2f, soft) five weeks ago, which had a degree of comfort about it; raised 7lb but Joshua Newman can claim his 5lb this time; solid contender.

- The Blueberry One
- Paul O'brien / Harry Derham

11/2 |
The Blueberry One
Well bred and in a good yard, so he has to be of interest on handicap debut, especially as the middle effort in novice hurdles (all at Newbury) was encouraging; stepping up to 2m4f should suit as well judged on pedigree.

9/1 |
Siberian Star
Only 1-8 in points and 2-42 under rules (hurdle/chase winner); beaten 9l and 12l in two handicap hurdles since returning to rules action and others are more intriguing.

10/1 |
Walkinthewoods
Well handicapped on best hurdles/chase efforts; has been out of form but latest Windsor run (2m4f) when caught out of his ground was a bit better.

10/3 |
Heart Of Rome
0-10 over hurdles in Ireland, though he was third of 17 in a Down Royal handicap in September 2023; that was over 3m and it's questionable whether he can return to that level.

17/2 |
Mini Yeats
Maiden but has hit the frame and was beaten under 5l at Taunton last time (2m, good) when shaping as though a stiffer stamina test was needed.

10/1 |
Jukebox Joker
Lightly raced 5yo who hinted at better days ahead when a 21l fourth on handicap debut over C&D in November (soft); gets in here off a low weight and is not ruled out.

125/1 |
Grandmaster Flash
Three-time AW winner who didn't run badly behind Our Dylan at Hereford last April but has offered little since; 7lb wrong.
