8/1
Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Opening mark not overly lenient judged on that but it's still early days.

Shaped better than the result on a couple of occasions last term, including when sixth of 16 on Taunton handicap debut, but produced a laboured effort when well held over C&D on return.

Ran a moody race when fourth at Leicester (over fences) when last seen in December, but has been given a chance by the assessor on this return to hurdling.

Showed first form under a considerate ride when fourth of 8 in a course novice last month, and should have a bit more to show now handicapping up in trip. Market useful.

Heavy-ground bumper winner. Yet to match that level over hurdles but did catch eye when returning from 8 months off to finish staying-on fifth over 2m at Warwick in January. Longer trip will suit.

Mostly disappointing for Denis Hogan in Ireland and returned lame when well held at Southwell (20.4f) on yard debut 12 days ago. Looks best watched at present.

Has been out of form for a while now and ran poorly back over hurdles at Southwell last month. Others preferred.

Showed more than previously pitched into a handicap for new yard after 15 months off when third in 10-runner contest at Market Rasen (20.6f) recently. Needs to back that up now.

Handicapper taken a dim view of her eye-catching Catterick fourth in December and she again jumped none too fluently at Doncaster next time. Work to do back from 7 months off.

Now 2 lb lower than for Sedgefield success last summer and most likely needed the run on return from 5 months off at Market Rasen recently. Each-way claims.

Forecasts

Milanstorm (3/1), Cremant (9/2), Caviciana (5/1), Manor Park (15/2), Del Duque (8/1), Gris De Pron (10/1), Sweeping Rock (12/1), Land League (14/1), My Galway Girl (18/1), Zenafire (22/1), Breffniboy (33/1), Northandsouth (80/1), Smashing Lass (100/1)

Verdict

Bumper-winner MILANSTORM looks the type to improve now stepping up in trip after a break, so he makes the most appeal. Gris de Pron lurks on a dangerous mark and should do better with a recent run under his belt. Land League has been given a chance by the assessor on this return to action and completes the shortlist.

  1. MILANSTORM (IRE)
  2. GRIS DE PRON (FR)
  3. LAND LEAGUE (IRE)
