10/11
Won a bumper this time last year but it has proved tricky to find a race for him over hurdles. Placed in several from 2m-2m4f, he was well beaten in a similar race to this at Ascot last time from 2lb higher, but this looks easier.

6/1
Tailed off third on his debut for this yard over 2m4f here last month from 5lb higher. Since swerved an intended engagement at Uttoxeter. Career best effort came over this trip in April when trained in Ireland and not ruled out after pipe-opener.

Placed in five of her 11 races without getting her nose in front. Placed from 1lb lower at Stratford over this sort of trip last month and not disgraced from same mark as today at Ludlow last time, but does need to find a bit more to win.

25/1
0-15 so far and was racing at around 2m4f last year, having made the frame here over that trip two starts ago. 7lb lower than that now after a 45L defeat last time and with fitness to prove after a 13-month absence he looks best watched this time.

Forecasts

Bardd (10/11), Chilli Romance (15/8), Mullaghboy (6/1), Cocker (25/1)

Verdict

Mullaghboy was well beaten over further here last time, but the drop in trip plus that run to blow off any cobwebs could see him do much better this time. Nonetheless, this looks a good opportunity for BARDD to win his first hurdle after a succession of frustratingly close runs for his supporters. Chilli Romance is also in reasonable form, but looks in need a a few pounds of improvement to break her duck.
