Consistent sort who's finished in the first three in five of his last six outings (including four second place finishes). Beaten 12L behind a previous winner in a military race at Sandown a fortnight ago and likely to run well once more.

Winner of a 3m2f handicap hurdle off a 15lb lower mark at Warwick 12 months ago but disappointed twice since including over 2m5f on chasing debut in December on first start for eight months.

5/1
Returned to form when finishing third over 2m3f at Exeter in January on first outing since pulled up at the same venue 12 months ago. .Lightly raced in recent years but rated 1lb lower than when successful at Chepstow in December 2014 and an interesting contender.

9/4
Sent off favourite when pulled up at Ludlow in January having finished well beaten in two previous outings since returning from a break. Now rated 7lb lower than when placed at Uttoxeter in June 2016 though predicted ground is likely softer than ideal.

Forecasts

Butlergrove King (9/4), Renard (11/4), Ceann Sibheal (10/3), Tolkeins Tango (5/1), Alberobello (7/1)

Verdict

RENARD has been running well recently and returns to handicaps company here following a couple of outings in military riders events. The selection finished runner-up off a 2lb higher mark at Exeter 12 months ago and can get the better of Ceann Sibheal who is seeking a third career win on ground that should suit. Of the remainder Alberobello makes his debut for a new yard here and ran well off this mark when last seen in action nearly 12 months ago.
  1. Renard
  2. Ceann Sibheal
  3. Alberobello
