Winner of his first three starts for this yard last summer and a couple of decent efforts in finishing fourth the last twice. Latest of those efforts came in a 16 runner handicap hurdle at Haydock (good) last month and interesting off a 1lb lower mark here.
Completed a treble when winning over an extended 3m1f at Fontwell (good) just over a year ago but failed to complete on two of her last three starts and finished 43L fourth at Ludlow (good) on her return from nearly five months off the track in April.
Twice a winner for this yard early on in his career but well beaten in recent times. Handicap mark is falling as a result but well held 14½L on his first run since rejoining this stable over 2m4f at Ffos Las (good) in first time blinkers last month.
Finished 14L fourth of eight over C&D when last seen in action last month. Won on heavy ground off a 3lb higher mark than he races off here over 3m at Bangor in April 2016 and is likely to appreciate any overnight rain.
Beaten 12L into second in a five runner novices handicap chase at Ludlow (good) over 3m last time out. Finished a good fourth off a 10lb higher mark in an extended 2m4f handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (good-to-soft) in April 2016 on his latest hurdles start and likely to prove hard to beat with blinkers applied for the first time.
Finished runner-up in a four runner handicap chase over 2m4f at Perth (good) in September last year but held on two subsequent starts including at Huntingdon (good) the following month. Returns from an absence of eight months today.
Victorious over C&D on his penultimate outing in a seven runner contest on good ground last month and finished runner-up off a revised 4lb higher mark in a similar race a fortnight later. Has to defy a further 2lb rise here but in good form and has a leading jockey booked once more.
Winner twice over fences earlier this year including on soft ground over 2m5f at Hereford in March. Best hurdles effort in two starts since that came when ½L runner-up in a 10 runner contest over an extended 3m2f at Stratford (good-to-soft) last month. Hampered having been headed on that occasion and likely to run well once more.
Forecasts
Brian Boranha (3/1), Luccombe Down (3/1), Crown Hill (10/3), Hedley Lamarr (7/1), Oscarteea (8/1), Very Extravagant (12/1), Moidore (14/1), Tangolan (33/1)
HEDLEY LAMARR finished runner-up over fences last time out and can take advantage of his sliding handicap mark having finished a close fourth off a 10lb higher mark when last racing over the smaller obstacles in April last year. Of the selections rivals in this contest Brian Boranha, who won over C&D on his penultimate outing can finish second here while bottom weight Crown Hill can take third dropping in trip today.
