Hooper

You can set your watch by him as he is so consistent. You clearly can’t take his wide-margin win at Hereford last time at face value, as the leader fell at the last, but who knows what would have happened? I think the better ground here will suit him anyway, and I also think a mark of 122 is okay.

Lilly Pedlar

She ran much better when second at Taunton last time and I think this good ground will suit her better than the heavy did that day. They thought enough of the winner to let her take her chance at Cheltenham last week and I can see her being in the shake-up here off her mark.

Jonbon

He is obviously a horse with a bit of a public profile after he fetched £570.000 at the sales in November. He was obviously very impressive in winning his point prior to that, and it is safe to say that we have high hopes for him. But let’s get him on the track for us, and see where we stand.
