Mahler Moon found one too strong in a three-runner Exeter affair when attempting to supplement a Huntingdon success earlier in the week and is turned out again quickly. Masterdream's winning spree came to an end at Plumpton and although he's been freshened up, he will need to jump better. SPECIAL JOHN couldn't capitalise on a lower hurdles mark, but he took well to fences prior to that. There was no disgrace in his fifth when sent off favourite at Windsor's Winter Million meeting and he can get back on track in this much less competitive event.
MAHLER MOON looks the most likely winner of this three-runner affair. He was impeded by a faller when running pretty well last time and if running to that level again would probably be good enough to land this. Masterdream is tricky to predict. At his recent best he's a real threat and may be refreshed after a break following a poor round of jumping last time. Special John isn't a no-hoper by any means
Returned to form handling the quicker ground when second beaten a neck in a novice hurdle at Taunton latest; effective around 2m with cut and on good; debut winner back in form, not the strongest finisher of late.
He has won a hurdle race, a NH flat race and a point-to-point from 1m 7f to 2m 4f on soft and heavy ground. Beaten a neck by Falls Of Acharn when second of 7 at 11-8 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Taunton over 2m (good) last month.

SINCHI ROCA, who occupied the runner-up berth in a Listed bumper, hasn't quite managed to fulfil the promise of his successful hurdling bow here. He came up well short on his only previous handicap appearance, but got back on track with a narrow Taunton defeat and is worth another chance. Byzantium is slipping back down to a workable rating and looks a bigger threat than Kitty Foyle, who has been off since a solid enough third at Kempton in November.
Another tight little three-runner race. Preference is tentatively for BYZANTIUM who had looked a nice prospect last summer before a couple of reverses. He was too fresh off a break last time and may get back to form here. Both Sinchi Roca and Kitty Foyle have credible claims and solid hurdle form.
Raced too freely but better effort despite being comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Kempton last time; effective at 2m in bumpers, acts on good to soft and good; needs to settle but going the right way over hurdles.
Placed in two NH flat races from five starts. Finished 16l behind Loustic Du Chatel when fifth of 10 at 8-1 on his latest outing in a maiden hurdle race at Kempton over 2m (good) last month.

SIORAI took a big step forward from her hurdling bow when chasing home a 1/6 shot at Stratford and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for her to go one better. La Cadalora wasn't bad on the level, but needs to leave behind an ordinary jumping bow, while Pivotal Days wasn't far behind Harry Fry's mare in that sphere and could be of interest if his stamina lasts out.
Siorai improved on her second hurdle start and appeals most here. Eternity Rose had decent bumper form and found that last time over hurdles and could be the biggest threat whileLa Cadalora has solid Flat form and more to offer over hurdles.

This doesn't look a strong race on paper and CALGARY TIGER might prove to be the answer. The 11-year-old was highly tried earlier in the season, falling at Cheltenham before being completely outclassed in the Desert Orchid at Kempton, and is entitled to step forward from his recent fifth at Newcastle. Redbridge Rambler was running well enough over further at the back end of 2025 and will be a threat if handling the drop in trip. Richforadaay might come on from his chase debut at Hereford.
REDBRIDGE RAMBLER has been in good form over fences and appeals here in quite a weak race. Calgary Tiger looks the biggest danger. He is capable of better than his most recent runs and will probably enjoy an uncontested lead here. No Guarantee might be best of the rest.

KHAFRE arrives searching for a hat-trick after a brace of victories at Taunton, including on his handicap debut last time. Syd Hosie's charge has a 5lb rise to contend with, but appears capable of handling it. John Barbour can be forgiven his latest outing at Uttoxeter and commands plenty of respect if bouncing back to what he achieved the time before when beaten a neck at Ascot. The return to hurdles may benefit Reallyntruthfully after not jumping particularly well at Huntingdon.
This is a very tight handicap hurdle. It may go to JOHN BARBOUR who had been progressive prior to not staying 3m last time and could bounce back at this shorter trip. Khafre is an obvious danger. He is improving over hurdles having come from points and likely has more to come. Doc McCoy had also been steadily progressive prior to a blowout last time and may threaten.
Ran to form when second beaten 17l in a handicap chase at Doncaster latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; consistent.

QUEENS GAMBLE was no match for a progressive rival at Doncaster at the end of February, but that may have been a quick enough turnaround following a Listed success over C&D a fortnight earlier. The return to this venue gives her a decent opportunity to go one better. Obsessedwithyou was progressive last summer and may well have more to offer now back from a winter break, while it would be no surprise to see Somespring Special step forward from her Kempton run.
Preference here is for SOMESPRING SPECIAL who probably needed her reappearance and had been in good form before her break. She is fancied to bounce back. The other three all have a chance and are very hard to separate. Queens Gamble and Obsessedwithyou perhaps being the better two of the three.

A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 1f on good ground, but that win was over three years ago. Well beaten at 7-1 behind Prairie Diamond when 9th of 11 on his latest outing in a hurdle race here over 2m 4f (good) earlier this month.

VICTORY SHOUT failed to supplement his Taunton success when well beaten into second over 2m4f here at the start of the month, but this step back in trip looks the right move. If in similar form, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Ribba Hill showed more when filling the runner-up spot at this venue on his most recent outing and has to be considered under Tom Bellamy. Ugo Bingo completes the shortlist.
RIBBA HILL is fancied to prevail in this competitive handicap. He came back to form last time and is on a workable mark. Ugo Bingo similarly bounced back on his latest start, is consistent in the main and an obvious danger. Prince Rhinegold was made too much use of last time, but was in solid form before that and could go well at an each-way price.
Far too free down the field in Listed mares' bumper at Sandown most recent start; effective 2m, acts on heavy; drop in grade may do the trick.

SORGEAN finished second between the flags before changing hands for 38,000 pounds in December and goes for the in-form Harry Fry team. Her dam is related to a few winners and it would be no surprise to see her making a winning start under Rules. C&D scorer Western Charm was well-held in Listed company at Sandown on her most recent start, but she will appreciate this drop in class. Lady Litigator is another to consider.
Thos is quite a tricky little bumper. Lady Litigator is the class angle coming down from Listed company, but she was probably flying way too high and may find one of Western Charm, Princess Of Ballea or Sorgean too good. Preference is for WESTERN CHARM who was too free when also tried in Listed company and down in grade could get back on track provided she settles.
