OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS has taken a few runs to find her feet for Venetia Williams but there were more encouraging signs last time and she’s taken to build on that promise back in a handicap. Out of Focus has been placed in both handicaps and should be thereabouts, while Olly Murphy’s Borodale retains potential as an unexposed sort. 1-2-3: 1.OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS (FR) 2.OUT OF FOCUS (IRE) 3.BORODALE (IRE) KEY colours

HASTON CLERMONT is clearly on an upward curve following victories at Lingfield and Wincanton, and a 6lb rise for his latest success is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. Leissieres Express boasts a similar profile and he is second choice ahead of Guguss Collonges, while Secret Plan is expected to step up on his chase debut form and can also make an impact.

TIMEFORM VIEWPoint/hurdles winner stepped forward from chase debut when ﬁnding only Haston Clermont too strong in a Lingﬁeld handicap last month. Whereas the re-opposing winner went on to score again next time, this 7-y-o could only perform modestly at Exeter. TFRHHIII BHA105

TIMEFORM VIEWNo great shakes over hurdles but has already shown himself to be more of a force in this sphere, placed at Wincanton and Exeter prior to opening his account TFRHHHHI BHA105 at the latter course (24.2f, heavy) on New Year’s Day. More needed up 5lb here but he’s unexposed as a chaser and may have more to give.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: JAMINSKA trained by J Williams, South Molton, 95 miles. RACE SUMMARY

CUTHBERT DIBBLE marked himself down as a good prospect when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts towards the back-end of last season and he could be worth chancing to defy a 9-month absence back in handicap company. Heros de Romay and low-mileage mare Jaminska are others to consider.
