Finished runner-up on his last three appearances including over 2m on good ground at Uttoxeter last week. Raised 3lb for that effort and is one to note in this contest.

Bidding to complete a hat-trick when falling in a 2m4f handicap hurdle on soft ground here in December. given a break since and both previous successes have come at this venue, including over this distance.

Improved on two previous hurdles starts for this yard when 22L third in a small field event at Doncaster (good) last time out. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day retained for handicap debut.

Fair fifth in a competitive handicap hurdle over an extended 2m at Musselburgh (good) a fortnight ago. Likely more needed with blinkers replacing the cheekpieces worn of late.

Returning from a break when winning by a nose in a 2m handicap hurdle at Plumpton (good-to-soft) last month. Has to defy a 4lb rise in the weights if he is to follow-up in this event.

Pulled up on both handicap starts so far most recently at Musselburgh (2m4f, good-to-soft) last month. Hopes appear to rest with a drop in distance suiting.

Well beaten in two starts since returning from wind surgery and handicap mark is falling as a result. Interesting to see how he fares with blinkers tried for the first time.

Broke his maiden at the 43rd attempt when winning a handicap hurdle over 2m at Wetherby (good) in February. Well held on only subsequent completed start and others hold stronger claims.

Improved on two previous efforts since returning from a short break when 26L fourth in a selling handicap at Catterick (good-to-soft) a month ago. Further improvement needed to take this contest.

20 race maiden ran a fair race in finishing fifth over 2m at Wetherby (good) in February. Held by First Of Never on that form and visor tried for the first time.

Forecasts

Collodi (2/1), Enforcement (7/2), Mac Cennetig (4/1), Millie The Minx (5/1), Weapon Of Choice (12/1), Newstart (14/1), King's Coinage (16/1), First Of Never (22/1), Aza Run (25/1), Country Delights (125/1)

Verdict

COLLODI was a winner last time out and looks capable of defying top weight to claim the opening handicap hurdle. Millie The Minx fell last time out but had won her two previous starts and she can take second place ahead of Enforcement who was a winner at Plumpton last time.
  1. Collodi
  2. Millie The Minx
  3. Enforcement
