11/4
Course winner who got back on scoreboard in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 25 days ago. Still on fair mark despite 6 lb rise and is a big player.

No impact in 3 hurdles last winter but could do better now sent handicapping and has been in good form on level.

Posted creditable third in Southwell handicap (15.8f, good) last month and return to longer trip should suit. Each-way claims. Tongue strap on first time over jumps.

Lightly-raced mare who may have been undone by heavy ground when below form at Southwell last November. However, handicap mark looks stiff enough on return to action.

Runner-up on completed start in Irish points. Offered a little more in this sphere when sixth over longer trip on return at Uttoxeter last month and should be straighter now.

Looks very limited judged on what he's shown in a bumper and 4 runs over hurdles, including on handicap bow at Newton Abbot last month. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Modest hurdler who looked badly out of sorts when last seen here in December, so hard to make a strong case for despite a sliding mark.

Well held on the Flat and generally underwhelming as a hurdler. First-time blinkers applied on return to action.

Easy winner of point in January but offered little all 3 starts in this sphere. Remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.

Hasn't won since 2016 and showed nothing on return from lengthy absence on Flat earlier this month. 2 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Nachi Falls (11/4), Fume (11/4), For Luck (8/1), Drumreagh (8/1), Incredible Dream (10/1), Ragamuffin (11/1), Telegraph Place (12/1), Peltwell (14/1), Flashdanza (28/1), Dropzone (50/1), Alcock And Brown (50/1)

Verdict

NACHI FALLS resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot last month and still looks fairly treated on his best form. He is taken to follow up. Fume and Incredible Dream look the likeliest dangers.

  1. NACHI FALLS
  2. FUME (IRE)
  3. INCREDIBLE DREAM (IRE)
