Winner nine times in a 43 race career. Well beaten third in a selling hurdle at Stratford (good) on final start for previous yard. Having his first start for nearly nine months and first for this yard here.

Victorious in a maiden hurdle at Stratford last October but well beaten on handicap debut at Doncaster upped to an extended 2m3f subsequently. Drops back in trip here on debut for a new yard.

9/2
Best effort over hurdles came when finishing runner-up over 2m at Worcester (good) in October. Beaten odds-on favourite the following month and looks to have a decent chance her despite disappointing on handicap debut at Doncaster in a first time hood (left off here) in December.

Put in a career best effort when finishing 6L runner-up over an extended 2m at Doncaster in November. Yard in good form at present (11/45) and interesting runner on handicap debut returning from a break today.

Fairly useful performer on the Flat in France but failed to win in four outings so far over hurdles. Finished runner-up on good-to-soft ground at Hereford last time out and makes his handicap debut in this.

3/1
Successful three times so far including in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton a year ago. Well held at Leicester on his seasonal debut but shaped much better when beaten in a photo at Huntingdon over 2m last month. Disappointed in a 16 runner field at Taunton subsequently and tried in cheekpieces here.

Keppel Isle170
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-4| J: Harry Teal(5)| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR:  94
7/1
Winner of a chase here over 2m2f in May 2016 but well beaten twice in that sphere subsequently. Races off the same mark as for that victory today and reverts to hurdles on his first outing since October.

Well beaten in all four outings to date including in novice hurdle events here the last twice. Plenty to prove on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Zante (3/1), Focaccia (7/2), Passmore (9/2), Fixed Rate (5/1), Kalaskadesemilley (11/2), Keppel Isle (7/1), Canadian Diamond (12/1), Marju's Quest (25/1), Miss Joans (100/1)

Verdict

FIXED RATE ran well when finishing second at Hereford last time out and can make a winning handicap debut in this. The selection won twice on the Flat in France and can get the better of fellow handicap debutant Focaccia who hails from the in form Dan Skelton stable with Zante, who wears cheekpieces for the first time today following a disappointing effort last time out taken to finish third.
