15/8
Nothing if not consistent and in the frame on all six starts to date. Found a couple of classy sorts too good at Newbury last time but this is easier, and with likely conditions ideal, may prove hard to catch if allowed too much rope on the front end.

4/7
Won a bumper at Sandown in November but arguably isn't progressing as he should be and found disappointingly little off the bridle at Uttoxeter last time after looking the likely winner. Return to likely quicker conditions may help, but a bit to prove now.

100/1
Of little account on the flat and beaten out of sight when last seen. No realistic chance on hurdles debut today.

9/1
Did find a bit of form on the flat last summer and gained reward for some consistent efforts with a victory in a little handicap at Bath, but may have stamina issues over hurdles and can only be watched on hurdles debut today.

50/1
Glimmers of ability in two of her three starts in bumpers but didn't show anywhere near enough on her hurdles debut at Plumpton in March to make her of interest here.

Tailed off and pulled up in two starts so far and can't be considered as a likely winner barring misfortunes to the others.

Forecasts

Bardd (4/7), Adrrastos (15/8), Zephyros (9/1), Dusky Raider (20/1), Bit Spicy (50/1), Spice Boat (100/1), Inch Wing (100/1)

Verdict

Bardd has been found another decent opportunity to try and get on the scoresheet but there are worries as to what he will find when push comes to shove, and it could be that ADDRASTOS will try and break him by going from the front again. He deserves to get his head in front after a series of consistent efforts and with the likely quick conditions ideal here, is taken to win at the seventh attempt. The rest are much of a muchness, with Dusky Raider just preferred for the bronze medal.
  1. Adrrastos
