Returns from a break having delivered a very mixed bag over hurdles so far. Poor when last seen over hurdles in December his win only win over hurdles was a fairly fortunate one and he lacks motivation overall.

Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind although his opening mark is a stiff one on the evidence so far. Chance that this better ground will suit but task looks a hard one.

Could well have needed the run last time out but it did stop the regressive nature of his previous runs. Has to now prove that he can build on this having been inconsistent in the past.

Still unexposed but not seen for a while after showing some ability in bumpers (winner on debut in that sphere). Her form over hurdles so far is only modest including on handicap debut and she needs to improve.

Remains a maiden over hurdles but often gives the impression that he's capable of winning a race travelling well through them but rarely finding much at the finish. Split two next time out winners last time so not written off if putting it all in.

Showed little or no form since leaving Warren Greatrex despite being tried at various trips. Hard to make a case for him here.

10/1
Has run well twice since coming back from a break but the losing run is starting to grow and he remains above his last winning mark. Would need other to run below-par to take this.

Scored twice for this yard (once on debut) at Newton Abbot in the early part of last year, the second win coming off a 3lb lower mark. Looked as though he needed the run after nine months off last time; could build on that.

Won in impressive style at Bangor late last year when given an aggressive ride and some of the principals ran below-par. Profile since has been very inconsistent and not sure to stay this trip.

Made all when getting off the mark at Fontwell in January showing a better attitude than usual although remains one to be wary of. Ran a poor race last time out but on balance he's hard to trust to run a race.

Offered little when he was trained in Ireland attracted support on his first run for this yard when tried over fences at Bangor. Showed nothing there and now tried over hurdles after a break; worth noting a market move for a shrewd yard.

In the process of running a big race when departing late on at Doncaster over 2m having looked very threatening. Still unexposed if that fall hasn't knocked his confidence and has a low-grade handicap like this in him off this mark.

0/20 in the jumping game and isn't one to trust although he did shape quite well when last seen in a handicap chase (ran too freely). Has now had some wind surgery but others make more appeal given his profile.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-8| J: R Patrick| T: J Candlish| OR:  82

There is still a glimmer of ability there but probably not enough to take this as he switches from fences to hurdles. Dropped 5lb from his last handicap foray he would have a place chance at best.

Yet to show any ability in four hurdles starts having been pulled-up twice and well beaten on the other two outings. Hopes pinned on a lowly mark going handicapping for the first time for an in-form yard.

With a good yard but has disappointed twice on the Flat of late and he's not shown much more over hurdles either and easily passed over here.

Verdict

A big field but there are plenty that will be pushed even at this lowly level although it’s hard to be confident about any of these. Be Daring ought to be able to win a race of this nature but his finishing effort is often questionable and he might be placed again. Clearly Capable is one who could be heading back in the right direction along with CHATELIER as long as he’s not feeling the effects of his mishap last time out; he still features off a very workable mark given the promise he showed there. Bring Back Charlie has posted some solid efforts in the past while both Ballyegan Warrior and Red Tortue are worth watching in the market.
