Saint Anapolino has chased home decent prospects from the Paul Nicholls stable on his last couple of starts, including on his return to action when making his hurdling bow at Taunton. He should break through sooner rather than later, and Stone's Throw also has races in him judged on his Ludlow third. GET THE BEAT has twice been soundly beaten since joining Dan Skelton but the form of his latest Carlisle third is strong, with the winner going on to land a Grade 2, and he can show his appreciation for the return to 2m.
Prediction : 1st Get The Beat 2nd Saint Anapolino 3rd Stones Throw

Ebselysees took a big step forward for a rise in trip when breaking through over just short of two and a half miles at Huntingdon. The further step up in distance should help her even more, but the 7lb she has to concede to DAZZLELIKETHIS may find her out. The five-year-old got closest to an Irish raider who easily justified odds-on favouritism at Carlisle and meets nothing of that calibre here. Better is expected from English Willow now she has a Chepstow run under her belt.
Prediction : 1st Dazzlelikethis 2nd Ebselysees 3rd English Willow

A total of 14 runners go to post and Cuban Court's bumper victory back in April 2022 is the only win under NH Rules. My Friend Sean was backed to do much better than he did at Chepstow and there will be plenty who keep the faith. Night Jet's Leicester third offered encouragement but a chance is taken on the fitness of HENRY GRAY, who was in decent form over fences when last seen. Zain Farhh and V Power could show more now entering the handicap ranks.
Prediction : 1st Henry Gray 2nd Night Jet 3rd My Friend Sean

Knockanore was beaten six lengths into second in this grade at Southwell on his latest outing and holds an obvious chance off an unchanged mark. However, it may pay to side with FLASH IN THE PARK, who was victorious over C&D when making his second start for the Dan Skelton stable. The six-year-old only has a 4lb higher mark to contend with and could complete a double. Heros De Romay is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Flash In The Park 2nd Knockanore 3rd Heros De Romay

Pats Dream justified favouritism at Market Rasen last month and he should give a good account in his bid to complete a hat-trick. However, the vote goes to LUNAR OCEAN, who has finished second on each of his three starts for the Billy Aprahamian stable. The five-year-old goes off only a 2lb higher mark than his most recent Leicester second and can be rewarded for his consistency. Emotional Roller is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Lunar Ocean 2nd Pats Dream 3rd Emotional Roller

Last month's Doncaster winner LET'S GO JOE has improved with each run since reappearing at Sedgefield in October and another bold showing is on the cards. The form of the Town Moor success was franked by the second scoring at Catterick on Tuesday and a 5lb higher mark looks workable. Another Lord capped of last season's campaign with a breakthrough victory at Hereford and he's feared most. Intersky Sunset and Wonderweasle are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Lets Go Joe 2nd Another Lord 3rd Intersky Sunset

Rehill Relic posted his best effort in handicap company to date when finishing third at Doncaster and he must enter calculations racing off just 1lb higher. He isn't taken lightly, but it could be worth taking a chance on HENRYSBROTHERJACK improving for a step up in trip. Although the son of Jack Hobbs has failed to fire in five outings over hurdles, this 2m4f distance could be the making of him. Palawan Du Mazet is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Henrysbrotherjack 2nd Rehill Relic 3rd Palawan Du Mazet
