5/4
Returned from a lengthy absence with a good win at Hereford over 2m, jumping well. Paid for trying to match a well-in winner at Aintree in the Red Rum and his jumping suffered on his latest start at Kempton. Drops in class again.

15/8
Recent efforts including on reappearance indicate he's held by the handicapper at present and 3lb drop may not be enough. Quicker ground could suit but may need another run under his belt this season.

2/1
Mixing hurdling and chasing of late to little effect and continues to finish well beaten. Yet to place in four starts over fences and remains very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Adrrastos (5/4), Baby King (7/4), I'dliketheoption (15/8), Storm Home (2/1)

Verdict

ADRRASTOS seemed to get intimidated at Kempton last time but he's proved a sound jumper previously and this drop into a weaker grade presents a very good opportunity. Baby King isn't the most reliable but represents opposition unless the ground is too fast. Maybe the most likely to succeed, should the selection fail, is I'dliketheoption who is best suited by these conditions.
  1. Adrrastos
  2. I'dliketheoption
  3. Baby King
