Has won three of ten hurdles starts, but two efforts over timber this year have been laboured, including debut for this yard at Uttoxeter last month over 2m. Sports a new hood now.

Fair sort, has won three (from 15) over timber, more than capable on his day but not the most fluent jumper. Well beaten off last month at Stratford.

Perfectly entitled to win Stratford seller last time over the trip. That should have boosted confidence but must up his game to add to the tally here.

Back-to-back wins at Ludlow in April/May over this trip when last out, this looks tougher but certainly not one to overlook.

Progressive over hurdles last season, winning four times over this trip. Not looked anything like the same in two runs so far this term and has questions to answer currently.

Well backed on stable debut last week and made all the running to oblige over longer trip at this course. Had a bit in hand there, so penalty is not certain to stop him.

5/1
Lightly-raced 8yo, scored here off a mark of 108 late last month, a touch fortunate on that occasion and may struggle to follow up.

Forecasts

Coeur Tantre (8/13), Free Stone Hill (3/1), Treasure The Ridge (5/1), Barman (13/2), St Saviour (11/1), Peruvien Bleu (16/1), Holly Bush Henry (25/1), Milrow (33/1)

Verdict

FREE STONE HILL has been progressing nicely this season and could easily be coming here on a five-time bar a couple of head-bobbers going against him last month. He's up another 4lb but may still have more to offer and can get back to winning ways. Coeur Tantre was backed to win on stable debut here recently and didn't disappoint with an all-the-way success, he should again go well under his penalty. Peruvien Bleu and Treasure The Ridge make most appear from the remainder.
  1. Free Stone Hill
  2. Coeur Tantre
  3. Peruvien Bleu
