Verdict

WHITEWINEWEDNESDAY goes off the same mark as when landing a Sedgefield handicap hurdle under Patrick Mullins last week so this former point winner looks sure to make a bold bid if taking to fences. Walk In The Valley is another with a pointing background and the fact his good second in a course handicap hurdle last November came off a 9-month lay-off suggests his absence since may not be an issue.

3	Stoutly bred sort who showed improved form when second of 7 in a 21f course handicap hurdle last November (his only start of last season). Off 10 months ahead of chase debut (placed in point) but he's evidently capable when fresh. 2nd Pick 3 Walk In The Valley (Ire) Jockey: Danny Mcmenamin Trainer: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith J: Danny Mcmenamin T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith	82	-	-	-	25%

4	Runner-up in a junior hurdle at Hexham in spring 2025 (final start for Paul Collins). Failed to cut much ice in handicap hurdles last season but Brian Hughes is booked for this chase debut/reappearance.
