7/1
Fairly useful at best on Flat (stays 10.5f). No real impact over hurdles yet but this just his second handicap start and he arrives fit from the level.

16/5
Modest maiden on Flat and over hurdles but posted another good effort when second with a tongue tie added over this C&D a month ago. Up 4 lb for that but can make presence felt again.

3/1
Point winner who offered minor encouragement in a trio of runs over hurdles but might well prove a different proposition on his handicap debut after a wind op. Market will be revealing.

Fair form at best over hurdles but off the track since July 2016 so well-being completely taken on trust starting out for a new yard.

5/1
Fair bumper winner back in 2016 but has never really got going over hurdles. Did quite well to finish fourth at Chepstow in October given how keen he was. Off since.

Runner-up in a bumper an easily best effort over hurdles when occupying same spot in a Stratford handicap 15 days ago, closing all the way to the line. Big player up 1 lb.

Modest Flat handicapper for David Thompson who offered little back over hurdles for new yard last summer and was beaten a long way back on the level 10 days ago.

Forecasts

Dylan's Sea Song (11/4), De Barley Basket (3/1), Vanderbilt (16/5), Pokari (5/1), Zlatan (7/1), Azari (40/1), London Glory (66/1), Neck Or Nothing (80/1)

Verdict

If there's a well-treated runner in the field it's surely DE BARLEY BASKET, with this winning pointer expected to take a big jump forward on handicap debut having undergone a breathing operation. Dylan's Sea Song and Vanderbilt are solid rivals.

  1. DE BARLEY BASKET (IRE)
  2. DYLAN'S SEA SONG
  3. VANDERBILT (IRE)
