Showed a little promise in four starts for Nicky Henderson without scoring. Joined current yard in November and hasn't done enough to suggest he's up to winning this event off current mark.

Won Irish maiden point on debut last April and joined current connections for £42,000 soon after. Hasn't shown so far in novice hurdles but may do a little better now going handicapping. Worth a market check.

25/1
Irish raider who has yet to reach a place in 19 attempts under both codes. Hasn't threatened to get involved in a finish at any point this season and would be s surprise winner unless market suggest improvement is on the cards.

Chance on second of 17 in Pucnchestown handicap hurdle for JP Dempsey in February. Joined current yard after that but not seen for 11 months prior to fifth at Ayr in January wher raced well for much of the trip. Place prospects if building on that.

Only win in 18 starts came in Newcastle h'cap hurdle in December 2016. Very lightly raced since but not disgraced last time in January on first start for 614 days. Should strip fitter and has eased 4lb in weights.

9/4
Gained due reward for some decent efforts this season when winning over C&D last time staying on well to scramble home off 3lb lower. Another bold show more than likely if in similar mood.

Forecasts

Calliope (9/4), Crack Du Ninian (5/2), Oishin (4/1), Cool Country (4/1), Longtimesincejaspr (11/2), Alph (17/2), Dandy Sue (25/1)

Verdict

CALLIOPE is nominated as she has at least shown herself capable of winning and did it bravely over C&D last time off just 3lb lower. Top weight Cool Country has shown signs of ability and you wouldn't rule out a good display on handicap bow, and both Longtimesincejaspr and Oishin ran creditably for a long way last time, both returning from legthy absences. Irish raider Dandy Sue has little real form but her shrewd handler is worth noting on these northern forays
  1. Calliope
  2. Longtimesincejaspr
  3. Cool Country
