In the hope 'soft' doesn't appear in the going description, HOBIE gets the nod. He is just 3 lb above the mark off which he opened his chase account at Worcester in September and it's probably best not to read too much into his latest effort, as the ground was against him that day. Chestnut Pete should come on for his run at Ludlow where he was returning from a five-month absence and the 10-y-o is second choice ahead of Gerard Mentor, who was just touched off over hurdles last time.

    Verdict
    Has his quirks, but was on a going day with the visor refitted (on again here) when going close in a handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) recently. Remains on a good mark back up 3 lb now returned to fences and should have a say if again in the mood.

    Verdict
    Back on the scoresheet when taking a handicap hurdle at Worcester in August and followed up in this sphere at the same course the following month. Struggled there last time, but the easy surface probably counted against him and he'll have a serious chance granted faster ground this time.

    Verdict
    Opened his account at the fourth attempt for this yard over C&D in March and good third back here next time. Safely held when last of 4 on return at Ludlow last month, but that run was probably needed and he could have a part to play returned to this venue.

    Two of his half-a-dozen wins over fences have been gained over this C&D, but he went off the boil during second half of last season and his efforts since returning from a break in September have lacked spark.

    Verdict
    Bits and pieces of decent hurdles form to his name, including when fourth of 9 in a Uttoxeter handicap (2½m, good) in June. Barely beaten a rival home in 3 subsequent starts, though, and hopes now pinned on the switch to fences proving to be the catalyst for a step back in the right direction.

    Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when striking at Market Rasen in April 2024. Below par thereafter and 15-month absence is naturally concern, but he's dangerous to discount having been given a real chance by the handicapper.
