Still a maiden on the Flat but plenty of promising runs to his name including one at this course. Been running okay over hurdles recently and should remain competitive in this sphere off a fair mark.

9/1
Four time course winner who has struggled over hurdles of late. Performed well returned to the Flat here last time and has a chance of going one better.

Disappointing on debut for this yard last time in a claimer, breaking slowly and failing to get competitive despite the fast pace on. Not sure to truly stay this distance and handicap mark looks on the high side for now.

25/1
Unplaced on last ten starts but has won at this course on five starts including one over C&D. Should get competitive off this kind of mark sooner or later but hard to fancy in current form.

9/2
C&D winner who was a little unlucky to get headed when looking like the winner last time out. Only up 1lb for that and he's a consistent sort so likely to give it his best shot once again.

1/1
Just pipped Eurato last time on stable debut for this yard and 3lb rise seems fair enough as the front three finished well clear of the rest of the field. Possible that line of form will play a big part in this race.

Age: 4|  Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward(3)| T: I Mohammed| OR:  73
3/1
Previous course winner but not placed on any other occasion and the handicapper isn't giving much back so looks opposable once again.

Forecasts

Start Seven (1/1), Ban Shoof (3/1), Eurato (9/2), Uncle Bernie (9/1), Obboorr (10/1), Gabrial The Terror (25/1), Perspicace (33/1)

Verdict

Start Seven and EURATO hold what looks like a strong form line and with a slight swing in the weights, the latter may be able to reverse the form here. Uncle Bernie proved he still retains all his ability with a good second after a significant absence last time and should remain competitive. 1. Eurato 2. Start Seven 3. Uncle Bernie
