Won handicap chases at Southwell and Doncaster last season. No show last 3 starts though, including on return from 5 months off at Cartmel (usual mistakes) in August. Hard to warm to.

Only one to complete when opening his account over fences in 4-runner handicap at Fakenham (3m) in April. Not at his best when a remote fifth of 7 at Southwell (3m, good) in June. Can't be trusted.

Successful first 3 starts over fences for Harry Derham but has struggled for his new yard this season, beating only two in 8-runner handicap here (2½m, good) last time. Can only be watched at present.

Is 0-16 over hurdles but went close to making a winning start in this sphere over C&D in June, some wayward jumping proving costly. Well below that form over C&D and at Worcester subsequently however. Has it to prove now.

Belatedly opened his account under Rules in handicap over C&D in May. Placed last 3 starts, though looked lacklustre in a headgear change (visored) when third of 6 in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) last time. Still a likely player at these weights.

Better Off Alone (Ire)

Weight: 12st 0lbs
Or: 98

Runner-up in 23f maiden hurdle early in 2025. Best run in this sphere after 6 months off when third of 6 in handicap at Worcester (23f, good) last month. Can go very well off a 2 lb lower mark in a change of headgear (visor on for first time) if keeping errors to a minimum.

Went close to opening his account under Rules in 23f handicap hurdle at Worcester in July and not disgraced when third at Bangor (23f, good) since. Pulled up on his chasing bow at Exeter in March but this winning pointer may still do better back in this sphere in first-time headgear.

08/01/26	Taunton	2m 3f 1y	Gd/Sft	6/7	Hurdle

Timeform Verdict

BETTER OFF ALONE comes with risks attached but took a step forward on his return when third at Worcester and can gain a first success off a 2 lb lower mark at the chief expense of C&D scorer Jo Arengeot Bey AA. Fane Court could also have a say given a second try over fences in this thin handicap.

Betting Forecast

33/1 Bravethewaves, 14/1 Another Mystery, 40/1 A Dublin Job (Ire), 12/1 Izzy's Grey (Ire), 2/1 Jo Arengeot Bey Aa (Fr), 9/4 Better Off Alone (Ire), 4/1 Fane Court (Ire)
