Pool Value: £1207.68

Hard to warm to many of these. A revival from Celtic Ned could be forthcoming in new blinkers, while the unexposed Taxus Baccata makes her handicap debut at a realistic level, but the two to focus on could be J'Habite En France and PESCATORIUS. There wasn't much between the pair at Huntingdon last month but the selection may prove the stronger stayer and can confirm the placings.[Paul Smith]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1	Taxus Baccata J M Quinlan / M Crawley	7yrs / 12st 0lb 11-374 Spotlight		6/1	7.80	2.40
Taxus Baccata Point/bumper winner on slow ground; yet to build on a promising hurdle debut but connections wasting no time getting her over fences and she makes her handicap debut at a modest level.
2	Celtic Ned N F Houlihan / G & J Moore	7yrs / 11st 9lb 77-446 Spotlight	96	8/1	8.20	2.20
Celtic Ned Yet to fire over fences but his best hurdle efforts would make him of interest off his reduced mark; better ground could help, as could blinkers, and he's one to watch in the market.
3	J'habite En France Stan Sheppard / B I Case	6yrs / 11st 2lb P65143 Spotlight	105	5/1	5.00	1.80
J'habite En France Off the mark with an easy win at Huntingdon in January (2m, good to soft); another good run at that track 18 days ago, making the running and jumping the last in front but tiring on the run-in, passed by Pescatorius in the final 100yds; should run well again.
4	Birdman Bob Ben Jones / A Irvine	8yrs / 11st 0lb 6-8435 Spotlight	102	9/2	5.50	1.60
Birdman Bob Course winner over hurdles; he hasn't run badly in two chase starts this year but more will be needed for him to come out on top.
5	Pescatorius Bradley Harris / H Dickin	6yrs / 10st 10lb 771U42 Spotlight	105	5/2	2.90	1.30
Pescatorius On the up over fences, winning at Catterick in December (near 2m, good) and just missing out at Huntingdon 18 days ago (2m4f, good to soft); just 1lb higher today and he's a major player.
6	Spicy Nelson Freddie Gingell / J Tizzard	7yrs / 10st 2lb P5-537 Spotlight		13/2	6.80	1.90
Spicy Nelson Hasn't lived up to market expectations since switched to handicap hurdles; not bred for fences but he must be thought capable of better and this isn't strong; cheekpieces tried after one run in blinkers.
7	Clondaw Robin Ellis Collier / A Irvine	12yrs / 10st 2lb 545344 Spotlight	108	28/1	28.80	6.90
Clondaw Robin Won a handicap hurdle at Fontwell in December 2019 but that is his only success from 40 starts; chance on last winter's best but he hasn't got going this time around.
8	The Last Melon William Featherstone / J Bennett	13yrs / 10st 2lb 66/7P8 Spotlight		100/1	86.90	27.70
The Last Melon His only placing in 27 starts came in an AW handicap in September 2017; poor form since returning from a mammoth absence in October and makes his chase debut at the age of 13; can't be recommended.
9	Elzaaro M Goldstein / K Jewell	7yrs / 10st 2lb 46-PP8 Spotlight	96	33/1	33.40	7.90
Elzaaro Little in the way of solid form and today's change of headgear isn't enough to tempt; 7lb out of the weights.
10	Can't Buy Time Tabitha Worsley / Cynthia Woods	6yrs / 10st 2lb -P4PP7 Spotlight	95	28/1	23.10	5.60
Can't Buy Time Unplaced in all ten starts and hard to recommend from out of the weights.
