Dual hurdle winner last term and back on song after 4 months off when second in 3m handicap at Uttoxeter. Goes chasing now so respected for yard among the winners.

9/4
Prolific winning hurdler around 20f in 2018. Off course 14 months before remote fourth of 7 on chasing bow at Stratford last month when jumped hesitantly. In good hands but big step forward needed.

Dual 20f hurdle winner last spring who wasn't disgraced after 6 months off when fading fourth in Southwell handicap chase. That was only his second run over fences but he's 4 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

The Vollan (5/4), Irish Prophecy (2/1), Oscar Nomination (9/4), Haul Away (9/4), Dead Right (6/1)

Verdict

Most of these come with risks attached but that can't be levelled at IRISH PROPHECY who arrives at the top of his game so he looks the most solid option. Oscar Nomination should have more to offer after an encouraging fourth on only his second chasing start so is much respected, despite being out of the handicap, while The Vollan has the potential to have a say too.

  1. IRISH PROPHECY (IRE)
  2. OSCAR NOMINATION (IRE)
  3. THE VOLLAN (IRE)
