7/1
Has been noted as having some quirks but hard to crab his recent career best efforts with a win at Uttoxeter and a second over further at Aintree in May. Up 6lb but proving progressive and very likely to be involved again.

9/2
Useful sort over hurdles who was strong in the market for her handicap debut at Fontwell (2m2f, heavy), travelled well. Given a stiff test last time (shaped better than final finishing position) but yet to convince she needs this far.

6/1
Fair hurdler for Paul Nicholls (130-rated) but well below that level in three starts for current yard. Best form has come at shorter than this and others look more convincing.

5/2
Won, and placed twice in three bumper's in the summer. Off the mark on debut over hurdles and a decent second at Warwick subsequently. Improved and won with any amount in hand up in trip at Huntingdon. On an attractive mark for handicap debut.

9/2
Irish raider, given a break following a run of consistent efforts came to an end in a Leopardstown novice handicap hurdle in December and again disappointed on May reappearance. Others preferred.

9/2
Well tried at Plumpton on reappearance and a good third at Warwick subsequently. Up significantly in trip off a 1lb higher mark and didn't seem to see it out on his previous try. Has the form but stamina questions to answer.

Forecasts

Full Bore (5/2), The Sweeney (10/3), Mister Universum (9/2), Duhallow Gesture (9/2), Court Tycoon (9/2), Zubayr (6/1), Forecast (7/1)

Verdict

FULL BORE has a very progressive profile and has a lot more to offer at this trip on handicap debut. The Sweeney rates as the main danger and is also on an upward curve following a comprehensive win. There's little between the pair while Forecast is another moving in the right direction and heads here very much in form.
