REHILL RELIC improved from his fourth at Southwell to gain a first victory over the larger obstacles at Huntingdon just before Christmas. A 4lb rise seems more than fair and he is capable of taking another step forward. Largy Train was a beaten favourite here in November, but the drop in trip is likely to benefit him. Others for the shortlist include Dixie Cowboy and Huit Reflets.
REHILL RELIC was worth more than the winning margin last time as he idled in front so should be able to defy a lenient 4lb rise. He remains unexposed over fences and if progressing again can defeat consistent course winner Largy Train whose latest midfield effort has been boosted by the winner recently. Another course winner Dixie Cowboy is also respected as he gets a pull at the weights with Huit Reflets from his defeat last time. The re-opposing rival may find this coming quick enough.
Never travelled and could not go the gallop when dropped in trip, finishing well beaten in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle at Haydock last time. Had been in good form beforehand, is effective at 2m5f, with form since franked, and needs this step back up in trip.
She has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m 1f to 2m 5f on good to soft and soft ground.

LA ZOUBIDA won her first two starts over hurdles, including over C&D, before struggling in Listed company at Haydock. Nicky Richards' mare has to contend with a 12lb penalty, but this appears a fine opportunity for her to bounce back. Rosie Baloo has been knocking on the door and finished second at Wetherby on Boxing Day. She enters calculations along with Laffer Curve, who was back in fourth on that occasion.
An unusually strong novice for this track where dual winner La Zoubida sets a clear standard and is likely to prove popular. She found the drop in trip unsuitable at Listed level last time but the form has been franked and she holds strong claims back up in distance. However she must give weight to LAFFER CURVE who showed very useful form in bumpers and shaped well on her hurdle debut. She finished a couple of places behind Rosie Baloo that day but she was given far too much to do and should improve under a more positive ride with the experience behind her. With the promise of more to come for a top yard she is picked to spring a surprise.
Below form when beaten 43l into third in a novice hurdle at Kelso on her latest start after stepping up in trip. Effective at 2m and handles soft and good ground, but has yet to match bumper form and needs more in handicaps.

Continued in modest form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m, but has been in poor form in both codes for some time.

With most of these having questions to answer, the clear pick is KAZAR FOREZ. The six-year-old won on his third start for Micky Hammond at Newcastle and a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up in this company. The switch to handicaps should help My My My Delilah, while Expelliarmus is next best.
KAZAR FOREZ gained a first victory after a move from France last time and is chosen to follow up off just 4lb higher. He landed a gamble that day so is clearly thought capable of much better as his jockey booking today also suggests. Expelliarmus was behind the selection last time but has now slipped to a generous mark on her form in both codes in Ireland so is feared most while at a bigger price The Coffey Boy is also respected. He went too fast on his handicap debut last time but his point win hints that he could be capable of better.
The yard won this race last year and she ran to form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Effective at 2m and ultra-consistent on soft and good ground.
She has won three hurdle races and a point-to-point from 2m to 3m on ground varying from good to heavy. Finished 7l behind Sir Galahad when fifth of 8 at 3-1 on her latest outing in a hurdle race at Worcester over 2m (good) in June last year.

Having won both starts over hurdles to date, Indian River has to be respected on his handicap bow. That said, he is a four-year-old now taking on older rivals and marginal preference is for GHASHAM. Dan Skelton's gelding has been running well in defeat and remains on a workable mark. The in-form Chase A Fortune is another with strong claims.
INDIAN RIVER can continue his unbeaten start to hurdling now tackling handicaps. The form of both of his wins have been franked while he has proven himself effective on both good and soft ground. Consistent dual purpose performer Russian Virtue has slipped in the weights and is feared most ahead of Chase A Fortune who has been back in form since returning to hurdling. That rival has the potential for an easy lead once again.
Back on his last winning mark and returned to form when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good ground, with generally consistent form.
Winner of five chases and a point-to-point from 2m 3f to 3m on ground varying from good to firm to soft. Beaten 3 1/2l by Scorsese when second of 9 at 17-2 on his latest outing in a chase here over 2m 3f (good to soft) in December last year.

Made mistakes and ran below form but did see out the trip when 18l third on chase debut in a handicap at Market Rasen. Effective over 2 1/2m to 3m and not fully exposed over fences. Big player for top connections.
Placed in two hurdle races and a chase from six starts. Third of 8 behind Orange Diamond beaten 18l at 4-1 on his chase debut at Market Rasen over 3m (good to soft) in December last year. He is wearing cheekpieces for the first time.

As all of these have something to prove for one reason or another, ITURGEON DU BREUIL could provide some value off bottom weight. The eight-year-old is not without risk, but he has undergone wind surgery so improvement is anticipated. Tom Creen is a five-time course winner, although never over this far. Therefore, Delgany Deadline and Scottish King, who both run in first-time cheekpieces, are higher on the shortlist in their quests for first career successes.
DELGANY DEADLINE didn't quite match his best hurdle form on his chase debut but he proved his stamina for 3m and should make significant improvement with that experience behind him. The cheekpieces should sharpen up his jumping and help him defeat consistent veteran Tom Creen. The top weight has a liking for this venue but will need to prove his stamina having mainly been seen at around 2 1/2m. The inconsistent Nights In Venice has dropped to an attractive mark and hinted at a revival last time so is also of interest at a bigger price.
Scored by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Southwell on his penultimate start. Ran to form when fifth, beaten 6 1/2l off 100 last time, the same mark here. Effective at 2m and may do better over slightly further.

KAVIAR WOOD has proven stamina from his time on the point-to-point scene and can build on a promising second over C&D. That was just his second start in a handicap and a 3lb nudge up the ratings looks manageable in this company. Livano Bello was almost three lengths behind him on Boxing Day, but is dangerous to ignore on more favourable terms. Imperial Rule is a potential improver now back over hurdles on his second run after wind surgery.
IMPERIAL RULE has won at this venue over fences and has been in good form in that discipline of late. He returns to hurdling off what looks a generous mark and should come on for his latest run which was his first since a wind op. Livano Bello is yet to win after a move from France but he has been gradually running into form for his new yard. With Brian Hughes back in the saddle he can throw down the biggest challenge ahead of Nellie Bluesky. She needs to prove she retains her ability after a lay off but she does look on a fair mark based on her maiden win so could go well at a price.
