11/2
Well beaten 29L 13th in a big field handicap hurdle at Kempton (2m5f, good-to-soft) in March. This looks less competitive and he is one to note upped in trip having run well off this mark at Worcester (2m4f, good-to-soft) last October.

13/2
Contested some hot handicap chases and hurdles last season including when 37L 17th at Kempton (2m5f, good-to-soft) in a handicap hurdle in March. Interesting to see how he performs on his return from a break.

Beaten 9L when finishing runner-up in a three runner 3m chase at Kempton (good) in November 2018. Probably best watched on first start since finishing well beaten over hurdles at Doncaster (good) the following month.

14/1
C&D winner put a couple of below par efforts behind him when finishing 15½L third in a 3m handicap hurdle at Newbury (good) in February. Well handicapped on his old form and market support would be notable in this contest.

10/3
Victorious four times last year including three times over this C&D. Pulled up in a Grade 3 handicap hurdle over an extended 3m at Haydock (good-to-soft) in November and is interesting racing off a mark 6lb higher than for his latest success.

Winner of two races over hurdles including a handicap event over an extended 3m1f at Hereford (good) in October last year. Raised 4lb for that triumph and is a notable runner on his return to action.

Pulled up twice over fences prior to finishing 37L seventh of eight in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m3f at Catterick (soft) in January. Probably best watched stepping back up in trip.

Recorded some decent efforts in defeat last autumn including when 15½L last of five in first time blinkers over an extended 2m at Taunton (good) last October. Blinkers return having been left off for last months Flat return.

Jimmy Rabbitte294
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Dr R D P Newland| OR:  121| BF
7/1
Victorious in four of his 15 hurdles starts to date including at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in July last year. Well beaten on two of his three subsequent starts and races off a mark 8lb higher than for that most recent victory.

Forecasts

Sirobbie (10/3), That's A Given (7/2), The Vollan (11/2), Shantou Village (13/2), Enniscoffey Oscar (13/2), Jimmy Rabbitte (7/1), Dell' Arca (14/1), Mister Universum (16/1), Serosevsky (20/1)

Verdict

THAT'S A GIVEN has won two of his eight hurdles starts to date and he can register a third triumph over obstacles by taking this staying handicap hurdle. The selection should have no issues with the drop back in trip and he can defy a 4lb rise in the weights to get the better of Sirobbie who is dropping in grade having contested a Grade 3 event on his most recent start. Third place can go to top weight The Vollan who is stepping up in distance and has run well off this mark in the past.
  1. That's A Given
  2. Sirobbie
  3. The Vollan
