Found good run over hurdles coming to a halt at Bangor last month. Down in class on chase debut though winning doesn't come easy to him.

Modest form over hurdles, again let down by jumping on handicap debut at Wincanton when last seen in December. Still early days, though, and may have more respect for fences.

Thrice-raced maiden who wasn't disgraced when fourth on handicap debut at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Irish-point winner so should make a chaser.

Prolific between the flags and landed a novice hurdle at Southwell in 2017. Largely disappointing in this sphere, though, and offered little after a year off at Newton Abbot last month.

Taken well to fences since the restart, scoring over 3m at Southwell before good third there under 7 lb penalty. Unlucky to unseat at the first at Newton Abbot since and remains of interest.

Poor form over hurdles for W. J. Burke in Ireland back in 2015 and offered little on first outing since at Uttoxeter last month. Makes chase debut (runner-up sole start in Irish point).

Poor maiden jumper. Her mark has tumbled but has stamina to prove among other things.

Forecasts

Glengar (9/4), Seaside Girl (7/2), Favori De Sivola (9/2), Ballyknock Cloud (7/1), Hattaab (15/2), Mogestic (10/1), Snowbird (18/1), Rivers End (25/1), Westerberry (33/1), Alka Step (66/1)

Verdict

GLENGAR has made a positive start over fences and this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Hattaab is back down in class ahead of his chase bow and is feared most ahead of Seaside Girl and Favori de Sivola.

  1. GLENGAR (IRE)
  2. HATTAAB
  3. SEASIDE GIRL (IRE)
