7/1
Bumper form was poor and the hurdles form so far has hardly been any better although he does have one standout effort on his CV. That came at Fontwell in February over 2m2f and may flatter him as he goes into handicaps off a stiff enough mark.

11/8
Maiden hurdler who has flattered only to deceive on several occasions now and did so when favourite last time out at Wetherby when travelling typically strongly. Looks capable of winning a race off this mark if finishing his races in more resolute fashion and faces an easy opportunity here.

Won a maiden hurdle (2m4f) in testing conditions here early last year but has not really shown that sort of form in four starts since then. Comes back from a break here off a career low mark and would have a chance on previous form.

2/1
Won back-to-back handicap hurdles in October/November with the first coming here over shorter and the second at Fontwell Park over (3m2f). He was blinkered in both of those wins (first-time for Plumpton win) and that aid goes back on here after he looked as though he was back to form when unseating rider two out over C&D last time out. He is a quirky sort but capable and can't be ignored from this stable around this course.

7/1
Showed his best form when winning a Lingfield amateur riders handicap hurdle in January off a 4lb lower mark in testing conditions. Has run a reasonable race before over C&D but needs to bounce back from a poor run last time out.

Forecasts

Song Of The Night (11/8), Yukon Delta (2/1), Mab Dab (7/1), Up Four It (7/1), Saucysioux (17/2)

Verdict

Just a small field go to post for the finale and it gives Song Of The Night a chance of a win but his finishing effort has looked rather weak and that may allow the Gary Moore trained YUKON DELTA to take advantage. The other three look unlikely to trouble these two with Up Four It the pick of that trio.
  1. Yukon Delta
  2. Song Of The Night
  3. Up Four It
