Ran a good race to be second over course and distance in October from 1 lb higher. Has since moved stables to the Herrington yard. Not so good last time out, but if taking a step forward this horse is capable of being involved at the finish and is the value bet in this race for me.

I think this outsider has a better chance than current odds suggest. Good record at this track and clearly handles testing conditions. Has been a bit below par of late, but the drop in grade and return to this track can help. A risky each-way but worth chancing.

The clear favorite in this race is creating a bit of value among the rest of the runners. Norcross Brow entered handicaps last time out with a good second place and is now dropped 1 lb by the handicapper. With three places currently on offer for a seven-runner race, it's worth an each-way bet.

The mark of this horse has fallen sharply over the last 18 months, so it's reasonable to question what he has left in the tank. However, he was a decent third over course and distance in December but disappointed next time. Down to a mark of 56 with a good claimer aboard, it's probably now or never.

This horse can be very frustrating and inconsistent, but one thing we do know is that his best runs have been at Carlisle. Two wins and three fourth-place finishes out of five hurdle runs here. Cheekpieces go back on, and he needs to step forward on recent form, but that remains possible. Last chance saloon for me ??" risky each way.

This horse from the Elliott yard appears to be heading in the right direction. A good third last time out in handicap company. If the addition of cheekpieces and Jack Kennedy in the plate can bring further improvement, he can go close. I'll also be having an each-way bet on Smackwater Jack, who is well handicapped.

Orbital Chime is a big price here. Looks too big to me, so could be a nice bit of value. A good win in a C6 6f race at Southwell in November, but up in class since then and has come up short.

Busby went on a cracking run of form between December and February last year, with two wins and three second places.

It seems strange to see a Mullins horse ridden by Paul Townend at the current odds, but this looks like an open race. Uncle Pat has generally run well without looking anything special, but the step up in trip could see this horse in a better light. With bookies paying five places, he's worth an each-way bet.
