Maiden after 11 starts including when unseating rider over fences at Ludlow (good-to-soft) last November. Looks up against it in this race.

Lightly raced in recent years and wore cheekpieces for the first time when finishing 26L fifth at Worcester (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Handicap mark falling and is an interesting runner in this.

Well held in three hurdles since joining this yard from Ireland. Most recent of those came on handicap debut at Carlisle earlier this month. Top jockey booked to rider however and worth a check in the market today.

Beaten over 100L in each of his two starts so far in 2017 including in first time cheekpieces last time out. Handicap mark is falling as a result and returns to hurdles today.

4/1
26 race maiden but one of his better efforts when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m4f at Plumpton (good-to-firm) last month and has been raised 2lb for that effort. Likely to run well again here if handling the step up in trip.

Forecasts

Rockchasebullett (6/4), Cosmic Statesman (4/1), Etheridge Annie (4/1), Thepremierbroker (11/2), Mister Dick (11/2), Bored Or Bad (8/1), Mrsrobin (12/1), Holy Cross (25/1)

Verdict

ROCKCHASEBULLET returned to hurdles when finishing a well beaten fifth in first time cheekpieces at Worcester last time out. Trainer Fergal O'Brien is in good form at present and he can take advantage of his sliding handicap mark to get the better of long-standing maiden Cosmic Statesman who steps up in trip here while Mister Dick won off a higher mark over fences less than a year ago and can return to form by finishing third.
  1. Rockchasebullett
  2. Cosmic Statesman
  3. Mister Dick
