Decent effort when switched back to hurdles at Ascot earlier in the season, but wasn't able to better that over shorter last time. Drops 1lb and back up in trip. Not ruled out.

2/1
Won a moderate four-runner C&D maiden hurdle (good to soft) last time. Will do well to follow up in a handicap from this mark, but has to be respected.

7/1
Fontwell 2m1f winner (good) in October, from a 5lb lower mark. Improved on that (2m3f) next time, after going up 3lb. Well held at Wetherby latest, but can't be written off after just one poor run.

Sole win over hurdles came on soft two years ago at Market Rasen. Ran well here last March, when beaten just 1L from this mark. Can't be ruled out.

9/2
Came home in front here last time, but demoted to sedon by the stewards. Up 3lb for that, which was an improved performance. Open to more of that over this longer trip. Claims.

Lingfield AW bumper winner who may be able to improve over hurdles now stepped up in trip. Interesting.

Forecasts

Kilbrew Boy (2/1), The Very Thing (9/2), All My Love (9/2), Ceara Be (5/1), Amanto (13/2), Wind Place And Sho (7/1)

Verdict

Not easy to rule out any of this field, but THE VERY THING is taken to make amends for his disqualification here last time, now stepped up to this longer trip. Ceara Be is another who could find improvement for going further, while All My Love, Amanto and Kilbrew Boy can all have cases made.
  1. The Very Thing
  2. Ceara Be
  3. All My Love
