Although We Got Your Back is better known as a chaser, he has to be of interest in a modest-looking affair. The eight-year-old shouldn't be far away judged on his efforts at Hexham earlier in the season, but WIND YOUR NECK IN is more compelling. Sam England's inmate wasn't disgraced on his fourth-placed efforts at Catterick and here during January and this step up in trip could prove fruitful. Handicap debutant Glenmuick is worth a second look in the betting.
WE GOT YOUR BACK hasn't run over hurdles since June of 2024 but he likes his course and the longer trip, back over smaller obstacles, could suit ideally. Several of these are unknowns and never won a race, but that can't be said of the 8yo, who has got his head in front three times in the last 13 months. Wind Your Neck In looks the danger, being well worth the step up in trip, although a much-improved display from one of the unexposed handicap newcomers wouldn't shock, with Glenmuick perhaps the pick of them.

CINQUENTA has posted two creditable close-up seconds at Lingfield this season and compensation could be on the horizon. The Cokoriko gelding should appreciate this step up in distance and shades the verdict over Gee Force Flyer. Olly Murphy's charge has also been knocking on the door and is likely to be in the thick of the action, while Seamoon Story is considered easing in class.
JUKEBOX KING is surely better than he showed on his rules debut at Hereford, fading as though in need of the run, and this former point winner could easily take a step forward for his good yard. The form of that Hereford debut has worked out really well, with the second and third going in since. This is easier than the two Ascot maiden hurdles Seamoon Story has contested so far, running behind the likes of Kripticjim and Crystal Island, both smart novices, and there's nothing of that calibre in here. Cinquenta is consistent and comes in third on the list, having already shown a fair level.
Ran to best despite interference on debut over fences when a 5l third in a handicap chase at Catterick last time. Effective up to 3m on a sound surface and could be a possible improver over fences.
Unplaced in all six starts. Third of 7 behind Couldbeaweapon beaten 5l at 4-1 on his chase debut at Catterick over 2m 3f (good) in December last year.

The Evan Williams yard have started to hit some form, so Frankie Faulkner must enter the reckoning having filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings. The nine-year-old is unlikely to be far away, but he may have to play second fiddle once more, with TRY THE MONEY a touch more attractive. Henry Oliver's charge is also trying to break a run of seconds, but his latest effort behind a subsequent winner at Uttoxeter reads well. Grandad's Cap is the pick of the remainder.
This can go to ALLTALKNOACTION, who is coming off his best effort so far over fences when finishing runner-up over C&D 37 days ago. That was his first start after a fall and he's open to further progress as a chaser with him having shown plenty in points. Grandad's Cap looks the danger, having made a promising start to life over fences when third over 2m3f at Catteerick. He's going to improve for the step up to this trip. Next best is Frankie Faulkner, runner-up the last twice and seeming likely to give his running once more with him proven at the trip.
Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time. Wants 3m. Recent form has tailed off, and he needs to find improvement to get back on track.

Outer Banks bolted up in a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap debut at Wetherby last February and warrants a market check on his return from the sidelines. Secret Trix lurks on a fair mark and is noted, but the vote goes to SUNSHINE DIAMOND. Runner-up in each of his last two outings, the seven-year-old remains in the same grade and can score for the Neil Mulholland team.
Outer Banks is almost certainly capable of better, last seen showing improved form to win in a first-time tongue-tie at Wetherby last February, but he does have fitness to prove. Sunshine Diamond brings the best recent form but proper soft ground would be a bit of a worry, so let's instead take a chance on GOLD IN THE RIVERS, who was never travelling over fences last time but returns to hurdles off a reduced mark and was a heavy ground winner in Ireland. The returning cheekpieces ought to help as well.
Made mistakes and was outpaced but ran to form, proving stamina when fourth, beaten 8l, in a handicap chase at Warwick last time. Effective over 2m4f–2m6f, stays a sharp 3m, suited by decent ground, and his mark continues to ease.

Kayce Dutton made the most of a fierce pace when cutting through the field to score over C&D last time and needs considering, but IMPATIENT's Huntingdon victory in December was arguably more impressive. As long as the eight-year-old is in similar form, he will prove tough to beat. Smurfette ran better than her odds suggested when second at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve and isn't ruled out either.
The veteran Fortescue can't be ruled out from a fair mark but it's coming up on four years since his last victory. Let's instead side with an up-and-comer KAYCE DUTTON, who improved for the step up to a staying trip when winning over C&D last time, getting well on top late. He has more to offer over this sort of trip and a 6lb rise looks manageable. Smurfette might be the main danger, the in-form mare improving of lat herself since being upped in trip. Any rain would be a negative to her chances, however.
Made mistakes and was disappointing on handicap debut when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time. Effective over 2m to 2m4f, but more is needed to defy this mark.

ABBEY LAW got off the mark over 2m at Fakenham last April prior to finishing a disappointing fourth over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell. There were excuses reported post-race that day and an opening mark of 91 might prove to be lenient. Mr Zee went in by three lengths at this level at Wincanton and is respected, despite having a 5lb higher rating to contend with. No Guarantee completes the shortlist.
A weak handicap hurdle that can go to NO GUARANTEE, who was below his best last time when bidding for a hat-trick but has been dropped 1lb and gets on well for today's rider. Mr Zee is the only last-time-out winner and rates the main threat, having won well at Wincanton last time. A 5lb rise looks fair. Kalkaroo is best of the rest but hardly presents a compelling case on recent efforts.
Never threatened when fourth, beaten 42l, in a handicap chase at Chepstow last time. Usually held up in his races and returns off a short break. Effective over 2m4f–3m on a sound surface but needs to bounce back.
He has won four chases from 2m 5f to 3m on good ground, but last win was over two years ago. Well beaten at 9-2 behind Roe And Co when fourth of 7 on his latest outing in a chase at Chepstow over 3m (good) in November last year.

LONE SOLDIER finished a long way clear of the third when beaten a length into second in this grade over 2m1f here last time and is just 3lb higher. The extra distance shouldn't pose any problems and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him go one better. Grain Trade's sole career success came over C&D and he has to be considered after his second at Huntingdon in December. Of the remainder, Everyonesacritic makes the most appeal.
This can go to FLORITA, who won well over C&D on her chasing debut two starts ago and couldn't get to grips with the leaders from off the pace at Wetherby last time. She's unexposed over fences and her mark still appeals as being fair. Everyonesacritic held his form well throughout 2025 and ran to form when third at Fontwell most recently. He seems sure to go well once more, so rates the danger ahead of Grain Trade, who was back to form at Huntingdon last time.
