Will appreciate the drop back to 2m after appearing not to get home over further at Fakenham last time, back on a winning mark now and a right-handed track/good ground suit, so chances in a weak event.

Showed his Southwell form all wrong when second in a similar event at Market Rasen latest, the tongue -tie seemingly helping. Visor added today and under conditions that should suit, holds every chance.

Third in a Plumpton maiden hurdle is the highlight of his last five starts and having been tailed off in two runs in November, is hard to make much of a case for at present.

7/2
No win in 15 starts but effort behind the useful Euxton Lane at Fontwell last season wasn't a disaster. Has potential for improvement on this better ground and on that alone, has to be of some interest.

4/1
Came good from a 2lb lower mark at Market Rasen in August but a couple of moderate efforts since, then, including when a well beaten favourite at Wincanton last time. Drop back in trip may help, but risky at present.

5/1
Pretty much a tale of woe over hurdles so far and was beaten out of sight in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow latest, 200-1 price tag suggesting little was expected. Hard to fancy.

One win in 41 starts rather tells it's own story, although on occasions he's not been beaten far and has threatened to double the score. Starts out life in a new yard but from 5lb out of the handicap, faces another uphill battle.

Forecasts

Stonecoldsoba (3/1), Theredballoon (3/1), Booborowie (7/2), Haasab (7/2), Helf (4/1), Artiste Du Gouet (5/1), Kilcaragh Boy (14/1), Venetian Proposal (33/1)

Verdict

HASAAB looks the upwardly mobile one and after a good effort at Market Rasen last time, looks ready to get back on the scoresheet. He can take this at theexpense of Theredballoon, another to refind some form at Southwell last time but no certainty to back it up away from his "home" track. Booborowie is a potential improver and can't be ruled out.
  1. Haasab
  2. Theredballoon
  3. Booborowie
