No superstar, but going the right way of late and ran best race so far when runner-up at Market Rasen last time. That form gves him a big shout in this very modest event.
£800 purchase at 2017 Ascot Sales and looks to have very little ability on evidence of three starts so far. Very hard to see him figuring even at this level.
Yard in great form but beaten a long way on both hurdles starts on heavy ground of late. Only hope rests on slightly better going helping the cause but needs to really get his act together.
10-race Flat maiden for Mick Channon and out with the washing on all four starts to date over hurdles. Very hard to enthuse over and would be a shock winner.
Won 4 bumpers in France before joing current connections in December. Makes debut over here and wears a hood for the first time. Clearly has ability and market may well guide as to his chance here.
Forecasts
Absolutely Dylan (4/9), Empire De Maulde (2/1), Le Gavroche (20/1), Pc Dixon (100/1), Kennedys Field (100/1)
ABSOLUTELY DYLAN and Empire de Maulde are the two to concentrate on with narrow preference for the former following his decent effort last time. Ex-French bumper winner Empire de Maulde may well prove up to winning races and is a definite danger as he remains relatively unexposed. Of the remaining trio, La Gavroche represents a stable in form and might be the one for the tricast.
