My Kinda Ghaiy showed ability when second on his jumping bow at Taunton and is likely to have more to offer, but the one that appeals most is KLYCOT. The son of The Grey Gatsby progressed from his Exeter success to only find one too good in Grade 2 company at Chepstow last time and can take advantage dropping in grade. Warwick scorer Cloaks Of Gold is another to keep an eye on.
There's more to come from My Kinda Ghaiy over hurdles, following his promising debut at Taunton, but KLYCOT sets a decent standard and is taken to defy a penalty. The Grade 2 Finale Hurdle that he finished second in last time wasn't a great race for the level but he'd run to a similar level when winning at Exeter on his previous start and his added experience will be an added advantage. The newcomer Vivre Le Reve is respected for a top yard but winning with no experience isn't easy.

Point-to-point winner STARMOUNT made a deep impression when scoring over C&D on his Rules debut prior to being out of his depth when only fourth in the Formby at Aintree on Boxing Day. Ben Pauling's charge is likely to appreciate his sights being lowered and can return to winning ways. Kaka's Cousin was successful on his introduction at Catterick last month and looks the main danger, while Hourman can fight it out for the places.
This looks between STARMOUNT and Kaka's Cousin, the two previous hurdles winners, with the first-named boasting much the best form at this stage having made all over C&D in December before finishing fourth, albeit a well beaten one, in the Grade 1 Formby at Aintree last time. These are much calmer waters and he should get back to winning ways, with the promising Kaka's Cousin not certain to be suited by the drop in trip having made a winning start under rules over 2m3f at Catterick. Hourman may win the race for third but has no realistic win claims.
Outpaced but flew home, improved when second beaten 4l in a handicap chase at Newbury latest; trainer in form; effective around 2m, acts with cut; longer trip looks a plus.

Pleasington returned to form when filling the runner-up spot in this grade at Newbury last time and was kindly dropped 1lb, so he is one to take seriously. Doyouknowwhatimean hit the woodwork at Uttoxeter and is likely to remain competitive, but it may pay to side with GENOIS. The veteran went in by just under two lengths in this class over track and trip on Boxing Day and if in similar form, he could be the one to beat.
Pleasington was outpaced dropped to 2m on good ground at Newbury last time before flashing home but his previous run over this trip failed to convince with his stamina albeit a bad mistake didn't help. He might win but instead let's go with GERYVILLE, who although not at his best here at Christmas, is now 2lb lower than when winning this race 12 months ago and has the assistance of Brian Hughes. Walk On Quest finished well last time and may still have more to offer as a chaser, so is third on the list.

An open contest on paper in which the vote goes to SWEEPER SYSTEM. Having shown relatively little on his first two starts over hurdles, he improved when finishing third at Southwell and the rise in distance on handicap debut gives him every chance of taking another step in the right direction. Forest Blaze's recent efforts at Ayr must bring him into calculations, especially with a first-time visor applied. Others for the shortlist are Ionity, Eric Carmen and Toby Two Scoops.
The fitting of a first-time visor might be just what FOREST BLAZE needs. His jumping hasn't always been the sharpest and he can race a bit behind the bridle, so the headgear could very much act as a catalyst for improvement. The juvenile Toby Two Scoops is proving most consistent, running two good races since moving into handicaps, and he can go well again, as can the veteran Eric Carmen, who has found his form again at Uttoxeter of late and should prove suited by the step back up in trip.
Pulled up in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time; effective from 2m to 2m6f on soft and good ground; has plenty to prove.
She has won two hurdle races and a NH flat race from 2m to 2m 6f on good to soft and soft ground. Pulled up 3 out when 11-2 at Uttoxeter over 2m 4f (heavy) in a chase won by Largy Force in December last year on her chase debut.

SHE IS FOR ME BOYS was disappointing when sent off favourite at Cheltenham last month having weakened quickly. A subsequent wind operation suggests the issue has been sorted and a repeat of her Kempton victory on chase debut in November can see her back to winning ways. Celestial Fashion didn't appear to stay 3m at Ayr last time so the drop back in trip can see her in a better light. Taxus Baccata appeals most of the remainder.
She Is For Me Boys ran as though something was amiss when stopping quickly at Cheltenham last time and she's since undergone a wind op, so she could easily bounce back and would have a good chance judged on her previous Kempton win. CELESTIAL FASHION looked a mare on the up when making a winning return at Carlisle, though, and simply didn't stay at Ayr last time. She's worth another chance back at her best trip. Mountain Molly is surely better than she showed on her chasing debut and could be best of the remainder.

Wee Alki pulled up at Hexham last time and the seven-year-old, who had won at the same venue the time before, is entitled to bounce back to form. However, LA HIGUERA is still learning his trade but he has still posted a trio of solid efforts in handicaps. Toby Lawes' gelding is 2lb well-in following a Uttoxeter third on New Year's Eve, as the winner of that contest has scored twice since and runs in the second division, and any further improvement could allow him to break the maiden tag. Bollin Matilda is also noted.
BOLLIN MATILDA showed her best form since the spring of 2024 when narrowly denied at Musselburgh last time, having slipped to an attractive mark, and despite having a 3lb rise to deal with, this is a pretty weak race. La Higuera is on a consistent run of form, doing well considering he made a bad blunder last time, and he should be thereabouts once more, while Smart Bucks may be next on the list with the form of his penultimate start, which came over this C&D, giving him a shot.
Returned to form when allowed an easy lead but flattened out late back from a break, finishing 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on soft and good to soft; could build on that run.

There has been no stopping BOLLIN THOU since winning at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. Nick Scholfield's charge then bolted up at Hereford before having no issues with a drop in trip at Lingfield and, despite having to shoulder a double penalty, it might only be the quick turnaround that has the potential to halt his run. Musselburgh scorer You Did has few miles on the clock and remains capable of better, whilst Clondaw Royale didn't run too badly at Haydock latest and continues to edge down the handicap.
You Did has won two of his last three and showed a good attitude when winning at Musseelburgh last time. He could easily strike again but BOLLIN THOU is on a red-hot run of form, winning his last three, including when bolting up at Lingfield just three days ago. He now has a double-penalty but it may not be enough to stop him in his current mood, with Sean Bowen taking the ride. Farmer Jimmy is third on the list, although needs to bounce back from a lesser effort last time. He'd previously been in good form.
