4-14 over hurdles; pleasing start over fences and solid claims if building on that run
9	Ski Lodge Bay J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	J:Tom Bellamy T:Alan King	158	p	-222F4	115	133	125	37d	—	—	+9	24.6	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Bit disappointing last time but cheekpieces and a return to Haydock could see a revival

Running well this term, including over C&D; hard to knock and should be thereabouts again

Prolific hurdles winner, just as good over fences; second at Leicester latest; big player

Fourth over C&D in December and creditable runs since; however, more required to win

Second of four at Exeter six weeks ago; in the mix again off an unchanged mark

Ran well over 3m4f here in December but well below par last time and others appeal more

9lb lower than for last win but has been struggling; cheekpieces off, tongue-strap on

Veteran who retains enthusiasm; jumped well and made all at Doncaster; back up 6lb

Badly out of form in the last 12 months and needs to be revitalised by a change of stables

Two wins late in 2025 but poor since and needs to be revived by cheekpieces
