Back a horse by clicking their odds below.

MARBUZET (2.47 Catterick, nap)

He comes here in fine form thanks to a battling win at Ayr last time. He’s been nudged up just 1lb for that excellent effort where he stayed well. He was beaten in a photo for this race 12 months ago so we know the trip and track suit.

STRICTLY TANGO (4.40 Southwell, nb)

He took a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in October and went close on handicap debut at Carlisle. He didn’t enjoy dropping back in trip at Uttoxeter last time and this test should be ideal.

HONOUR YOUR DREAMS (5.00 Windsor, treble)

He went down in a tight finish at Doncaster last time and relishes this trip on quick ground. A repeat in this similar grade can do the trick.

MISS WILLOWS (1.47 Catterick) completes the Lucky 15.

She had almost five lengths in hand when winning here last time and is best over this specialists’ trip.
