11/4
Front-runner who struggled last season but has been revitalised of late, going away at the finish when making all over C&D recently. Another bold bid is expected.

Ran well on his final outing last term and can have his reappearance easily excused, so not completely ruled out on a fair mark with Brian Hughes on board.

14/1
Fairly useful hurdler for John Halley in Ireland who has joined a yard that do tremendously well with new recruits. With that in mind, he's one to consider for all his mark demands improvement.

17/2
Fairly useful under both codes, fifth on the Flat at Pontefract recently, and given a chance by the handicapper since last seen over hurdles, so hard to rule out with Johnson booked.

3/1
Fair 12f winner on Flat who confirmed previous encouragement when scoring comfortably in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last month. More to come, so definite player.

16/1
Fairly useful hurdler who was back in form when third in a handicap at Wincanton in December and shaped better than the bare result at Windsor on Flat return. Not ruled out.

Gelboe De Chanay20
Age: 4|  Weight: 11-4| J: Alain Cawley| T: B Haslam| OR:  123
125/1
Listed hurdle winner at Auteuil in April 2019. Failed to reproduce that level in 3 runs for Philip Hobbs last term and tailed off over C&D on debut for new stable.

14/1
Matched his fairly useful Flat form over hurdles last season and wasn't totally disgraced when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on reappearance. Needs visor to bring improvement, though.

Dual 2m hurdle winner who went backwards from an encouraging start over fences but returns to hurdling on a reasonable mark with cheekpieces applied.

Fairly useful winning hurdler in Ireland but has yet to make a serious impact for his current stable, well beaten in a C&D handicap hurdle 20 days ago.

Not seen over hurdles in over 2 years and ran poorly on the Flat recently, so hard to make a serious case for.

Arrives out of sorts, last of 12 at Uttoxeter a month ago, so easy to look elsewhere.

4/1
Fairly useful on the Flat (unable to sustain effort when fifth at Goodwood 15 days ago) and, while he's yet to match that form over hurdles, switch to handicaps could bring about improvement.

Forecasts

Brandon Castle (11/4), Get Back Get Back (3/1), Hats Off To Larry (4/1), Ingleby Hollow (17/2), Escapability (14/1), Diamond Gait (14/1), Foreign Secretary (14/1), Capone (16/1), Innocent Touch (28/1), Lucky Icon (66/1), Level Of Intensity (100/1), Gelboe De Chanay (125/1), Laskadine (125/1)

Verdict

BRANDON CASTLE is still fairly treated on old form and had enough in hand when scoring over C&D last time to think he can defy a rise. Easy Uttoxeter winner Get Back Get Back looks the main danger unless Ingleby Hollow can mount a revival back in this discipline.

  1. BRANDON CASTLE
  2. GET BACK GET BACK (IRE)
  3. INGLEBY HOLLOW
