Big Zouk
BIG ZOUK was a big-money buy from the Irish pointing field after winning his sole start between the flags and can be expected to step up on what he showed over hurdles now tackling the larger obstacles. He gets the nod ahead of I See The Sea and Jirko, in that order of preference.

Point winner who showed ability on first of his 2 starts over hurdles sphere for James Ewart. Beaten favourite both runs for new yard following a break/wind op but latest third on handicap bow at Newcastle (23.7f, good to soft) was creditable and appeals as the type to make a better chaser.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 7f 149yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/8Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/11Ayr3m 70ySoftHurdlepu/9Wetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/8- 4JirkoJ: Bruce LynnT: N.

Didn't show a great deal in bumpers/over hurdles but this 7-y-o has performed with credit both starts since switched to fences, latterly finding just one too good in a C&D handicap (heavy). Now 1 lb lower and he has to enter calculations.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 20yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase2/11Kelso2m 7f 96yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/8Ayr3m 70ySoftHurdle10/16Ayr2mSoftHurdle8/10Kelso2m 51ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/12- 3TorosayJ: Derek FoxT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore6U37-27Age 87/27/24/1

Goes well on soft ground and she resumed from 7 months off with a good second of 12 in a handicap over this C&D in November. Rather laboured at Carlisle since but eased 3 lb as a result and she's dangerous to discount.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle3m 2f 19ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase7/12Ayr3m 20ySoftChase2/12Hexham3m 41yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase7/14Hexham3m 41yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase3/12Carlisle3m 110ySoftChaseur/15- 5Rob Roy MacgregorJ: Patrick WadgeT: Sandy ThomsonPP3-487Age 86/17/113/2

Tumbled down the weights and showed a bit more when hitting the frame twice last spring, latterly on chase debut at Hexham. However, he hasn't backed that up in 2 subsequent runs, including when returning from a break over this C&D in November.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 20ySoftChase7/12Hexham3m 41yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase8/12Hexham3m 41yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase4/10Ayr3m 70ySoftHurdle3/16Newcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/13- 8Euchan FallsJ: Nathan MoscropT: R.

Dual hurdles winner back in 2023 but he's 0-15 in this sphere and has failed to complete on each of his last 3 starts.

Best effort for a while when nailed close home at Hexham last spring but not in the same form since and this veteran hasn't won a race since November 2020.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 20ySoftChase10/12Hexham3m 41yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase10/12Cartmel3m 1f 107yGoodChase6/12Hexham3m 41yGoodChase2/8Hexham3m 41yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/10- 6Maid Of HouxtyJ: Craig NicholT: Donald WhillansPPAge 1125/125/122/1

Opened her account at the fifth attempt over fences at Newcastle in March 2023. However, she then endured a prolonged spell on the sidelines and has offered little in 2 appearances since returning from a 32-month absence.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle3m 2f 19ySoft (Heavy in places)Chasepu/12Carlisle2m 3f 210yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/8Newcastle2m 7f 91yHeavyChase1/6Ayr3m 20yGood to SoftChase3/10Catterick Bridge3m 1f 54ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase4/9- Non-Runners

Notched second success over fences when opening account for present yard at Catterick (25.2f, good) in November. Subsequent effort over the same C&D was subdued but he'll have a serious chance if able to bounce back in a race where strong recent form is at a premium.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge3m 1f 54yGoodChase7/14Catterick Bridge3m 1f 54yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/7Hexham3m 41yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/11Bangor-on-dee3m 30yGoodChase6/6Hexham3m 41yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/12
