King Ulanda
All things considered, KING ULANDA did well to finish as close as he did to a thriving type at Haydock in the run-up to Christmas and he is appealing back from a short break. Leaumec de Mee is in good hands and is feared most given his obvious scope for improvement, while As Fast As Wind and A Different Kind both hold solid each-way claims. Handicap debutant Minella Jury also enters calculations.

Shaped well when runner-up only start in bumpers and positive start over hurdles this winter, confirming promise of Fontwell second when going one better at Sedgefield in December. Creditable fourth on handicap bow at Newbury next time and he remains open to improvement.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 69yGood to SoftHurdle4/11Sedgefield2m 178ySoftHurdle1/9Fontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/10Kempton Park2mGoodBumper2/13- 3Minella JuryJ: Brian HughesT: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies32113Age 65/14/19/2

Fairly useful effort when bagging Wexford bumper in October and, having changed hands for £80,000, he looked a good prospect when making a winning hurdling debut at Uttoxeter. Shade disappointing when third of 8 over this C&D last month but since undergone a wind op and he remains of interest.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster2m 128ySoftHurdle3/8Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yHeavy (Standing water in places)Hurdle1/11Wexford2m 100yYieldingBumper1/7Fairyhouse2mYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Bumper2/9Downpatrick2m 1f 165yYieldingBumper3/7- 4North Of RichmondJ: Bryan CarverT: Alex Hales12-134Age 66/16/111/2

£75,000 buy who was runner-up sole outing in points and went one better on Rules debut in Bangor bumper in October 2024. Also made a winning start over hurdles on return at Fakenham in October and not disgraced in novice events at Leicester and Newbury since. Worth a second look on handicap bow.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 69yGood to SoftHurdle4/11Leicester1m 7f 113ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle3/6Fakenham2m 3yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/4Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to SoftBumper2/13Bangor-on-dee2m 145ySoft (Heavy in places)Bumper1/6- 5King UlandaJ: Craig NicholT: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero33-1242Age 67/17/115/2

Betting than ever when winning impressively at Carlisle (17.2f, good to firm) on return following breathing op. Thereabouts on each of his 3 subsequent starts, most recently chasing home an in-form rival off this mark at Haydock, and he's high on the shortlist.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park1m 7f 144yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/9Huntingdon1m 7f 171yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/8Worcester2mGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/14Carlisle2m 1f 33yGoodHurdle1/7Bangor-on-dee2m 145yGoodHurdle3/6- 9As Fast As WindJ: Robert DunneT: Tristan Davidson3133662Age 67/17/115/2

Struck for first time in this sphere at Kempton in October for Daisy Hitchins. Placed on 2 of her 4 starts for present yard, finding just one too good at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) last time, and she has to enter calculations.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 7f 124yGood to SoftHurdle2/9Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGood to SoftHurdle6/15Market Rasen2m 2f 140yGood to SoftHurdle6/8Sedgefield2m 3f 188ySoftHurdle3/11Huntingdon1m 7f 171yGoodHurdle3/6- 6Light FandangoJ: Bradley HarrisT: Neil Mulholland13P-518Age 78/18/115/2

Won a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter in summer 2024 and struck in a handicap over this C&D at the end of December. Failed to reproduce form akin to that at Wincanton next time, though, and he's probably worth taking on.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWincanton2m 3f 179ySoftHurdle8/12Doncaster2m 128yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Doncaster2m 3f 88ySoftHurdle5/7Southwell2m 4f 88yGood (Good to Firm in Places)Hurdlepu/9Worcester2m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle3/8- 8KillycarnJ: Peter KavanaghT: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith93816Age 69/19/110/1

Runner-up sole completed start in Irish points and, having hinted at promise in a trio of novice hurdles, he took a step forward when striking on handicap debut at Catterick (15.7f, good) on New Year's Day. Stamina stretched upped to 21.2f at Haydock since and he's a player back down in trip here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park2m 5f 50yGood to SoftHurdle6/17Catterick Bridge1m 7f 156yGoodHurdle1/10Wetherby2mSoftHurdle8/14Sedgefield2m 178ySoftHurdle3/5Bangor-on-dee2m 145yGoodHurdle9/13- 2A Different KindJ: Theo GillardT: Donald McCain/80-853Age 912/112/111/1

Useful hurdler/chaser earlier in career. Proved that a good chunk of his ability remains when third in an 8-runner Haydock handicap (15.6f, good to soft) last time (since undergone another wind op) and will be a threat granted a strong pace to aim at.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park1m 7f 144yGood to SoftHurdle3/8Haydock Park2m 2f 191yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/9Carlisle2m 1fSoftHurdle8/8Uttoxeter1m 7f 214yGood to SoftChase13/13Bangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yGood to SoftChase8/11- 1ParramountJ: Daire McConvilleT: Charlie LongsdonP0/7-26Age 1014/114/116/1

Shaped well (having first jumps start for 13 months) when runner-up under a positive ride over this C&D in November. Respectable sixth of 15 in a warm race at Ascot next time but he's failed to beat a rival home on the Flat both starts since the turn of the year.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton1m 5f 219yStandardFlat9/9Chelmsford City1m 5f 66yStandardFlat7/7Ascot1m 7f 157ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/15Doncaster2m 128ySoftHurdle2/7Wolverhampton1m 5f 219yStandardFlat7/10
