Timeform take you through the runners in this listed novice hurdle...
"Carraig Mor is an Irish point winner who made an impressive start under Rules at Uttoxeter in November and had excuses when failing to land the odds in a five-runner Ascot event later that month. Can get back on track."
Spirit of Shankly is a two-time bumper winner who has developed into a useful hurdler, finishing strongly when fourth in the Lanzarote last month. Has had a run in a jumpers bumper there since and has to be considered here.
Carraig Mor is an Irish point winner who made an impressive start under Rules at Uttoxeter in November and had excuses when failing to land the odds in a five-runner Ascot event later that month. Can get back on track.
Chase The Spud was fortunate to make a winning hurdling debut over C&D in November, and while he stepped up on that when runner-up under a penalty at Uttoxeter next time, he has been beaten in a handicap here since.
Mosspark finished runner-up in an Irish maiden point prior to being sold for £50,000 and has created a good impression to win events at Exeter and Leicester on his first two starts under Rules. Likely to improve further.
Chasse En Mer was twice-raced in fillies juvenile hurdles in France, winning an 11-runner event in September, and improved further to land a Doncaster handicap for this yard last month. Open to further progress.
Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Carraig Mor
2. Mosspark
3. Spirit of Shankly
Timeform view: Carraig Mor all but came down three out when trying to maintain his unblemished record at Ascot in November, but he remains a bright prospect and may get the better of the hat-trick seeking Mosspark and the more experienced Spirit of Shankly.
