Age: 6| Weight: 12-1| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 112

2/1

Fair winning hurdler who ended last season below form in handicaps. Built for chasing and offered something to work on when fifth in a Newton Abbot handicap (21f) last month. Open to improvement.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Quinlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Katy Price| OR: 99| BF| D

9/2

Dual winner at up to 25f in 2018 who was more miss than hit during a winless 2019/20 campaign. Handicapper has relinquished his grip ahead of return but he's often needed a run to bring him on.

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 98| D

18/1

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: Benjamin Poste| T: Katy Price| OR: 97| D

25/1

Thrived on joining Tom Lacey in spring 2018, racking up a 4-timer at Warwick. Not at same level upon joining present yard last term, though he did catch the eye on occasions. Not dismissed totally.

Forecasts

Peur De Rien (7/4), Who Shot Jr (2/1), Minella Examiner (11/4), Clondaw Rigger (9/2), Robin Of Sherwood (5/1), Trumps Benefit (6/1), Still Believing (11/1), Sutter's Mill (18/1), Alberto's Dream (25/1)

PEUR DE RIEN never fulfilled his potential over hurdles, yet he's built for chasing and was impressive in making a winning debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago, forging clear. That ought not prove his limit and he can do better again. Minella Examiner and Trumps Benefit are others to consider, along with Who Shot Jr.
