6/1
Has shown some fair form over hurdles with a solid performance coming on his handicap debut (amateur ridden) at Doncaster over 2m. Failed to follow-up that run with a disappointing effort over further at Taunton off the same mark. Dropped 2lb here but probably needs his mark to ease further.

Not been in much form since winning twice last season at Ffos Las over 2m5f off a 3lb lower mark. Back from a break last time out and back to form here although the trip (same today) appeared a little on the short side.

Off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt when scoring at Ludlow last time out showing improved form in a narrow win. Makes his handicap debut here but the initial mark (128) looks a tough one.

11/4
Finally scored over hurdles on his sixth attempt in handicaps (beaten in novice company before also) at Taunton last time out. Despite winning he looked an awkward ride and it remains to be seen if he can back this up off a 7lb higher mark.

Won over hurdles in France in claiming company in 2015 and only had two runs in same year for his current yard. Both of those starts were on the Flat and remains to be seen how he fares back over hurdles.

15/8
Scored on his handicap debut despite drifting badly in the betting when winning at Lingfield in December over 2m. Up in trip and off an 8lb higher mark last time out he still acquitted himself well when beaten by another unexposed sort in Bennys King and still looks the sort to make progress.

Forecasts

Pure Vision (15/8), Another Frontier (11/4), Town Parks (9/2), Sleep Easy (6/1), Driftwood Haze (7/1), Instagram (40/1)

Verdict

Both Town Parks and Another Frontier won last time out but may well have a little more to do here off their new marks and giving weight to an improver like PURE VISION. He still looks to be one who could have a little more to offer off his current mark especially as he was beaten by another unexposed one last time out. Driftwood Haze could possibly do with a little further after his good recent effort over C&D while Sleep Easy has a seemingly tough mark to overcome. 1. Pure Vision 2. Driftwood Haze 3. Town Parks
