1/10

This sort of trip and quickish ground suited him fine over hurdles, has won one of his four chase starts to date but was already coming under the pump when falling at Cheltenham latest. However, this is much easier and he should take advantage.

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: J M Quinlan| T: R Dickin

11/1

Placed in a couple of point-to-points but has shown only the merest glimmer of ability over hurdles to date, and holds little realistic chance of beating Azzerti today.

Moderate handicap hurdler making her chase debut after a near two year absence here. Not hard to look elsewhere for the winner.

Forecasts

Azzerti (1/10), Mr Palmtree (11/1), Highland Life (12/1)

This has fallen apart from the original entries and given none of his three opponents have shown any worthwhile form, it looks something of a penalty kick for AZZERTI, who has faced much stiffer opposition and can get back to winning ways barring any accidents. Mr Palmtree might be best of the remainder.
