Frostmagic is a 4yo gelding trained by Ismail Mohammed. He was well held here last time but was beaten a head or less in his first three runs over this C&D. On his penultimate start at this track he finished 2/14 behind Atmosphere, who has since run a good third. The 3/14 Moonjid, rated 69, won next time out and posted a career-high RPR of 82. A repeat of that effort from Frostmagic would see him go close for a trainer who does well here, having picked up 17 winners and predominantly earning his trade on the AW surface.

Woodhay Whisper is a 4yo gelding trained by Jack Jones. He heads the weights and comes here in good order, having run well in three starts in December, posting RPRs of 69-62-73; the latter was a career best over todays CD. His recent run ties in with today's rival Alshimali, who finished a neck in front of Profit Street (received 2 lb) on his last start. Woodhay Whisper finished 1/2 lb behind Profit Street (received 9 lb) in his latest start but didn't get the cleanest of runs. Today Woodhay Whisper gives Alshimali 6 lb, so there's not much between them. However, Woodhay Whisper likes Lingfield (career best over CD last start) and has finished 2nd??"3rd in his last two visits here over today's trip; the first was a length defeat (RPR 59) by Harry Brown, a four-time course winner at Lingfield over 6f. That represents solid form, and he has arguably improved somewhat since if his recent run is taken at face value. He will take all the beating today, provided he gets a smooth passage.

Charlie Mason is a 5yo gelding trained by Tony Carroll. He is a model of consistency and an owner's dream. He runs today off bottom weight in this competitive Class 4 handicap and should continue to shine off 8st 13lb. He is 2-2-1-2-2 in his last five attempts in Class 4 handicaps or less and has shown he can still figure off a career-high mark of 74, having been beaten 1.5l at Chelmsford on his penultimate start (a Class 2) and just a neck at Wolverhampton on his last start under the inexperienced Myla Coppins off today's mark of 74, posting a career-high RPR of 80. He met trouble in running in both those starts, but today has the capable assistance of Gina Mangan, who is riding with confidence at the moment, winning on 3 of her last 6 rides at 7-1, 28-1 and 11-2. Granted a clear run, Gina Mangan can come late with a power-packed finish to pick up the pieces.

Queensland Boy is a 6yo gelding trained by Ian Williams, a trainer who specialises with horses over these marathon trips. He is a four-time winner and twice a winner on the AW, with both AW wins coming off today's mark of 54. He has form figures of 2-12-1 at Lingfiel, winning over CD in May by an easy 3.75 lengths, and has posted a RPR of 71 at this track in December 2023. He is clearly suited by today's track and trip and is well handicapped on course form. Ian Williams has his yard in fine fettle, with 6/24 wins in recent weeks, and the booking of Edward Greatrex looks significant for Ian Williams having a 8/40 wins record (20% win strike rate) and a LSP of £25.50 (8/31 wins if 14-1 or less). Queensland Boy, unlike most, is also a 2m specialist, winning three times over today's trip. His proven stamina should stand him in good stead, and he is 5 lb better off today with the more fancied Arc Zoosve from a recent encounter at Wolverhampton.

My Champion is a 3yo gelding trained by Edward Bethel. He was second on his nursery debut two months ago (6f) and didn't go unfancied off an opening mark of 62. The winner was raised some 9 lb. On debut he finished 5/8 at Wolverhampton behind Ten Carat Harry, who has won three times since and is rated 90, and the 7/8 Reality Queen 1.75 lengths behind and receiving 3 lb has since won a handicap off 59, posting an RPR of 62. My Champion should be capable of performing and achieving a mark of 70+ and is potentially well handicapped off 63.

Shannon Royale is an 8-year-old gelding trained by the Irish yard of Ian Patrick Donoghue and benefits from the services of Sean Bowen. This gelding is 4/18 in wins and is just finding his stride after two starts, having left the Gordon Elliott yard, but is still owned by Robour, which suggests all is well for Shannon Royale. Sean Bowen has only ridden once for Robour and it won, so it looks a notable jockey booking. His last win came in a 3m chase, virtually making all and beating two Willie Mullins-trained inmates, High Class Hero and Loughglynn, who are rated 152 and 143 respectively. That makes Shannon Royale look particularly well treated off 135. Expect Bowen to ride him prominently.

He was a useful hurdler, 2/5 wins, posting a career-high RPR of 139, but hasn't yet translated that form to the bigger obstacles in two career starts chasing. It's early days. He is out of a French-bred dam and a half-brother to winning chasers Pobbles Bay (RPR 147) and Oxwich Bay (RPR 122), which bodes well for improvement to come as a chaser. He is a PTP winner over today's trip and handles good ground, having won at Fakenham. This gelding, sired by top-class sire Leading Light, can figure.

He acquitted himself well on his seasonal reappearance in a Class 3 contest at Newbury, finishing 4/9, beaten 15.75 lengths, weakening after making a mistake at the last. He posted a career-high RPR in that contest despite taking a fierce tug during the race. He should strip much fitter today and represents a yard that is 112/488 with their hurdlers, boasting a 23% win strike rate. This gelding can add to that already impressive tally.

He was pulled up in his first two handicaps but fared much better when third at Ludlow last month. He represents a yard that fares weakly in Class 5 novice handicap hurdles in recent years (10/47 wins, 18/47 placed). The dam had 7/29 wins and an RPR of 132. Midnight View is a second foal and a full brother to Night Jet, a winner for Tom Symonds back in February. Midnight View should play a part in the proceedings off a lowly mark.

The form of his last win at Fairyhouse has worked out well, beating Champagne Mahler (rated 112), who won on her next start and was raised by some 11 lb, and Soloman Lane (rated 110), who won earlier this month and is rated 116. He's suited by today's trip and soft going and could go well off just a 6 lb higher mark under Ben Harvey.

Precious Man was sent off 9-4f in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham and posted an RPR of 123. He is fancied to run well in the Triumph Hurdle.

Stay Hopeful encounters better ground today, having run on soft and heavy on his first two starts. This PTP winner, having beaten two horses now rated around 100, could hold place prospects if his hurdling experience and the better ground eke out some improvement.

Whateley. He runs off 120, which looks a workable mark given his facile 7l win on stable debut, trotting up by 7 lengths and posting a career-high RPR of 124. He previously finished 2/9 at Ffos Las with the 3/9 Scorpio Rising 2 lengths behind (106), who has won twice since and is now rated 121. Kap Boy should easily be capable of 130+ in the capable hands of Olly Murphy, who is a master when it comes to handicap hurdles (132/517 wins since 2020, boasting a 25.2% win strike rate). Today’s good ground is likely to bring about some improvement rather than be a hindrance. Kap Boy will no doubt figure.

With that experience under his belt, he should figure for a trainer who has picked up 61 bumper winners in recent years and who sent out Red Metal, 8-1, to win at Hereford on December 20 on debut. Wonder Flying is out of a French-bred dam and is a half-brother to Flyingbeauty, a five-time winner on the flat performing best over 1.5f, posting a career-high RPR of 106.

Today's 24f should be right up his street given his best form has been shown in and around this trip and he's out of a French dam and sired by the top-class Blue Bresil, chasing is likely to prove the making of him, and he could achieve better than the 151 he achieved as a hurdler.

She was only fourth when odds-on for her hurdle debut, but the ground was heavy that day. Today's good-to-soft ground conditions should prove much more suitable. The booking of Sean Bowen looks significant, given this is his second ride for the yard. Odds-on favourite Strong Run is from a powerful yard, and his debut over hurdles stacks up well, but he was far from fluent in the jumping stakes.

He has run just four times, and his best finish was 10/22 in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown behind Ethical Diamond, posting a career-high RPR of 103. He ran well in the circumstances, given he unseated the jockey at the start, got very upset and took a keen hold. He's out of an ordinary dam related to a horse called Flemenstorm, trained by today's trainer Edward Cawley, a horse who won 4/22 races and posted a career-high RPR of 122. Nelson's Dawn makes his handicap hurdle today off 95 with conditional Philip Donovan taking off 3 lb, and could prove to be well handicapped now having had some time off the track after a 266-day break.

He can get the better of One Big Bang with the experienced Jonathan Burke in the saddle, and should prove to be tactically more astute than his compatriot Alex Chadwick in this two-runner field.

Pretending was also sent off as short as 7-2 for this contest in 2025.off a 3lb higher mark of 122, and the 12-1 currently on offer should be snapped up quickly before the each-way thieves steam in to get a piece of the action.

Gunsight Ridge is a 10-year-old gelding trained by Olly Murphy and ridden by Sean Bowen. He was a BF on his seasonal reappearance over 20f at this track after a 225-day absence, so he was clearly thought ready to rock and roll but found trip too far and possibly in need of an outing as this four-time chase winner didn't seem to travel with any gusto right from the get-go. He's dropped 1 lb today, and there is every reason to believe this low-mileage gelding, who has run well in his only other visit to Cheltenham (old course) over 16f (resulting in an RPR of 146 and falling at the last when just 2 lengths down behind the useful 150-rated Matata last November). Today's field looks a lot easier, having not faced the likes of Matata (150), Third Time Lucky (145) and Calico (142). Today he tackles the new course, which is a quite tight, left-handed, undulating track with a stiff finish. This winner at Perth (similar tight bends) and two Sandown handicaps (stiff, undulating finish) should be in his element and ought to be more than capable of mounting a serious challenge in this grade with optimum conditions.

Me Wee Bonnie Lass is a 6yo mare trained by Gavin Cromwell. She is 3/7 over hurdles and posted a career-high RPR of 123. As a chaser she is 0-5, but the first four starts were confined to novice and beginners' chases, making little impact. She ran against some decent horses; the winners at Gowran and Galway posted RPRs of 143 and 135. Today's race is a 0-125 handicap, so much calmer waters, and this is just her second start in handicap company after a promising debut. In her latest race she was held up at the rear and was never dangerous, finishing 6/9, beaten 9l. She is a second foal related to a seven-time PTP winner and a two-time hunter chase winner, best over 3m 1f. This race has been a possible target and she will appreciate every yard of today's trip and the stiff uphill finish.

Sunday Soldier is a 7yo mare and a full sister to two useful horses (Hey Sunshine 137 trained by Willie Mullins). Trained by David Kiely and Graeme McPherson, she was transformed over hurdles when joining the yard from Fergal O'Brien, winning five consecutive handicap hurdles and rising from a mark of 78 to a career-high rating of 121. She has not quite put it together chasing in three starts, finishing 2-4-4. The first of those efforts was a 1-length defeat by one of today's rivals, Party Vibes (10-1), at Exeter last December off level weights. Today Sunday Soldier receives 10 lb from Party Vibes yet is 40-1, and that should be enough to reverse that form. This French-bred could still be open to progress.

Hillcrest returned from a very long absence last season and didn't get competitive. However, he wasn't unfancied on his seasonal reappearance at Warwick, being bet into 7-2 from an opening 11-2, so he must have been showing something at home. He runs off 127 today, and this course winner could be very well handicapped if rekindling some of his earlier form.

Cinnamon Coco is a 3yo gelding trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien. He has run four times over hurdles and been sent off favourite in all, so is clearly highly regarded, winning once at Down Royal by 9.5l on his third start and looked one to note. He disappointed at Punchestown after taking a fierce hold, which led to his demise. He's since run on the flat and won going away at Dundalk with the 154-rated hurdler Ballyadam back in third. Cinnamon Coco possesses plenty of speed, which is no surprise being out of an unraced dam related to four individual winners who all recorded RPRs of 100+ while competing in and winning pattern races. This suggests Cinnamon Coco will probably benefit from this step up in grade and the likely fast pace, which will enable him to travel kindly on the bridle. He comes here after his win at Dundalk just 17 days ago and will be primed and ready to resume winning ways for top connections in the shape of Simon Munir & Isaac Souede.

The Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March is dominated by French-bred juveniles, as they have dominated these types of contests in recent years. Ten of the last 14 winners of this corresponding contest being French-bred also illustrates their dominance. Macshadow Des Crai is French-bred and is 50-1 for the Triumph Hurdle. He makes his debut on UK shores for Nicky Henderson, a trainer with a remarkable record with 3yo juveniles ??" 34/85 wins since 2012 and 20/34 wins with 3yo making their debut (in the UK). There is every reason to believe Macshadow Des Crai is going to be useful. Priced up at 15-2 in receipt of 7 lb from his main market rivals Minella Study and One Horse Show, he looks very attractive at 15-2. It wouldn't be a surprise if there was a flurry of money for Macshadow Des Crai come post time and he potentially challenges for second favourite and becomes One Horse Show's biggest market rival. Put in an RFC with Cinnamon Coco, the Irish raider who is likely to prove a major threat.
