1.75 INTERCONNECTED; 2.75 HAMILTON DICI (FR); 3.00 HAMILTON'S FANTASY; 7.00 BRAVE SEASCA (FR); 8.00 POTENZA (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Interconnected finished second behind the classy Emitom in a novice hurdle at Newbury in March 2019 and hasn't been witnessed on the track since, but he makes his long-awaited debut for Darren Yates and Dan Skelton after 727 days off and has to be taken seriously having cost a whopping 620,000 pounds. Hamilton's Fantasy was disappointing on his hurdling debut at Newbury last month, and perhaps HAMILTON DICI can take the beating. A bumper winner at Warwick in December for Jane Williams, he might have improved for the switch to Kim Bailey and is bred to enjoy this sphere of racing.

Preview:

GRACES ORDER won a Sedgefield bumper at the third time of asking last March and made a promising start to her hurdling career two months ago, finishing third at Wincanton under Aidan Coleman. This step up in trip is fancied to suit the daughter of Mahler, and she is preferred to Juniper, who showed potential in two outings on Irish soil and starts out for Harry Whittington now after 524 days off. Fable caught the eye when second behind Rose Of Arcadia on debut for Nicky Henderson three weeks ago and might also be involved once more.

Forecast:

1.50 TIMETOCHILL (IRE); 2.00 ANTUNES; 3.00 AR MEST (FR); 8.00 MYPLACEATMIDNIGHT.

Preview:

TIMETOCHILL finished a head-second on her last start for Kelly Morgan at Fakenham in October and looks to have been located a nice opening here now with Fergal O'Brien. The Scorpion mare finished third in Grade 2 company at Doncaster 13 months ago and, after a couple of modest efforts, bounced back to form when last seen. This trip suits her well, and the eight-year-old can account for Ar Mest, who hasn't been beaten far in a pair of jumpers' bumpers lately, and Antunes, who fell at the first at Sandown 19 days ago.

Forecast:

1.63 NO NO JULIET (IRE); 1.75 ELLENS WAY; 6.00 HILLS OF CONNEMARA (IRE); 8.00 FALLY JEM (FR); THE TOOJUMPA.

Preview:

ELLENS WAY finished third off this rating at Taunton last month and could take advantage of that lenient figure if in the same form here. Hills Of Connemara got the better of recent Carlisle scorer Scottish Accent when successful at Newcastle on her penultimate start and could leave her recent Musselburgh disappointment in the past. No No Juliet is another on a recovery mission, but a return to her best would give her a great chance.

Preview:

UN PROPHETE was 12-lengths clear and yet to be asked any questions when falling two out at Fontwell last week and is given the chance for redemption here, dropping back in trip off the same rating. Native Robin wasn't far away from back-to-back Wincanton victories when last seen in December and has to be respected, while Rob The Getaway was a runner-up over track and trip last time and looks to be heading in the right direction.

Preview:

Gary Moore's QUIANA was thwarted by a neck in a jumpers' bumper at Kempton recently and appears fairly weighted now returned to hurdles to make his his handicap bow. Raven Court has place claims if building on his latest effort over a similar trip at Doncaster, while C&D winner Great Hall is creeping down the ratings and could feasibly make his presence felt in this company.

GETAWAY HONEY landed a bumper at Stratford for former connections three years ago and ran promisingly when debuting for her new handler in a jumpers' bumper at Lingfield last time. Another big run likely beckons now she reverts to hurdles. Wavering Down makes some each-way appeal on his Southwell third in December and can fight it out with Maliboo and Another Frontier for the silver medal.
