Crystello
This looks open but CRYSTELLO looks just the type to take a leap forward now handicapping up in distance, so he receives the tentative vote. Wearelongterm and Lelantos are a couple of viable alternatives.

Bought for £30,000 after finishing runner-up on completed start in Irish points and looks to be being brought along gradually over hurdles, again not knocked about at Taunton fitted with a tongue tie in December (19f). Likely improver now allotted a mark and upped in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 3f 1yGoodHurdle5/13Lingfield Park2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/7Fontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood to SoftHurdle6/14- 6Bollin MatildaJ: Theo GillardT: Donald Whillans/6-P734Age 83/13/110/3

Much more like it when landing a pair of 3m handicaps in spring 2024. Stood little racing since but a brace of in-frame efforts in recent months confirm she's back in good order. Tongue strap on for the first time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby3m 26ySoftHurdle4/7Musselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/13Ayr3m 70yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle7/10Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/10Ayr3m 70ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/13- 1Artic MannJ: Dominic HislopT: N.

Veteran has returned from his summer break in good heart, not seen to best effect when fifth at Kelso (20.9f) and ran well back up in trip when third in a 7-runner C&D handicap in December. May not have been 100% back here in New Year's Day but below last winning mark if all is well.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle8/8Musselburgh2m 7f 180ySoftHurdle3/7Kelso2m 4f 189yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle5/14Perth2m 7f 207yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/7Perth2m 7f 207yGoodHurdle2/8- 5WearelongtermJ: Peter KavanaghT: Dianne Sayer34F3263Age 98/18/115/2

Long-standing maiden under Rules but placed on 3 of last 4 starts (twice over fences), most recently when a keeping-on third over C&D on New Year's Day.

Quickly returned to hurdles following another unsuccessful attempt over fences during the summer and made it 5-25 in this sphere when landing an 8-runner handicap at Huntingdon (25f, soft) in November. Wasn't seen to best effect at Fakenham 4 weeks ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFakenham2m 7f 95yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/4Huntingdon3m 1f 10yGood to SoftHurdle1/8Huntingdon3m 1f 10yGoodHurdle6/16Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to SoftHurdle2/8Newton Abbot3m 2f 105yGoodHurdle3/10- 7Rebel IntentionsJ: Nathan MoscropT: Annabelle Sowray467P32PAge 916/116/114/1

Placed twice at Catterick around the turn of the year. Soft ground perhaps an issue when failing badly to continue the good work at that track 16 days ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge3m 1f 71ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdlepu/8Catterick Bridge3m 1f 71yGoodHurdle2/13Catterick Bridge3m 1f 71yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/12Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/10Wetherby3m 26yGoodHurdle7/11- 4Wee AlkiJ: Conor RabbittT: Susan Corbett22041P5Age 718/118/116/1

Out-and-out stayer who went close twice at Kelso at the start of the season and wasn't winning out of turn when seeing off 9 rivals at Hexham in November. Well-backed but never travelling back there a month later and again didn't go with much zest at Wetherby.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWetherby3m 26ySoftHurdle5/7Hexham2m 7f 63yHeavyHurdlepu/9Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/10Hexham2m 7f 63yGood to SoftHurdle4/8Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle10/15
