Decent efforts when fourth in a couple of handicap hurdles in August but well held on chase debut subsequently. Drop in trip should suit.

3/1

Good second in a 2m1f handicap chase at Stratford (good-to-soft) last time out. Races off a 2lb higher mark and is of interest once more.

Forecasts

Cillian's Well (3/1), Stormbay Bomber (3/1), Deise Vu (3/1), Two Hoots (11/2), Alys Rock (7/1), Centreofexcellence (10/1), L'Es Fremantle (66/1)

STORMBAY BOMBER has won off a higher mark in the past and he can build on a promising effort last time out with victory in the opening racing on the card. Deise Vu ran well when placed at Stratford on his most recent start and can finish runner-up ahead of top weight Cillian's Well who should have improved for his chase debut last time.
