Fair hurdler who shaped as if need of run after 9 months off when seventh in Stratford handicap last month. Sent chasing now with cheekpieces fitted so needs to hit the ground running.

Matched best of hurdling form when second in handicap here (15.8f) on debut over fences but fell fifth in Southwell handicap last time. Can make his presence felt if none the worse for that mishap.

Made a winning start over hurdles at Huntingdon last November but proved a disappointment subsequently. Now goes chasing having left John Ryan so no surprise to see him step forward.

Fairly useful winning hurdler back in 2017 for Nicky Henderson. Off 28 months before fading tenth of 12 in Fakenham handicap in March but in excellent hands so respected on chasing bow now.

Back-to-back winner of 2m handicap hurdles last winter but lost his way for Keith Dalgleish at end of campaign and has fared little better in 3 chase for new connections recently.

Surprise 50/1 winner of novice hurdle last Feburary but his form rather tailed off after. Back from 6 months off/wind op for his chasing debut and not ruled out for good yard.

Fair 2m winning hurdler who got back on song when fifth in 12f Wolverhampton handicap on Flat last month. Straight into handicaps over fences now and not dismissed lightly for leading yard.

Forecasts

Catch The Cuban (9/4), Thibault (9/2), Admiral's Sunset (6/1), Youracert (7/1), Book Of Invasions (15/2), Havana Hermano (11/1), Barman (11/1), Mint Gold (12/1), Absolute Jaffa (12/1), Statuario (16/1), Goldencard (28/1)

Verdict

BARMAN is worth siding with to make a winning start to life over fences for the excellent Amy Murphy as he was a fairly useful winner over hurdles and should be all the better for his Fakenham March run after a long absence. Admiral's Sunset is yet to win over fences but arrives in good form so is sure to be in the mix, while Absolute Jaffa is another chasing newcomer to consider in an open race.

  2. ADMIRAL'S SUNSET
  3. ABSOLUTE JAFFA
