Fair 2m hurdle winner at her best but she has shown little in two runs on Flat this autumn. Back over hurdles with cheekpieces tried and plenty to prove.

Unreliable type who unseated rider fourth in 2m handicap hurdle at Doncaster when last seen out 8 months ago. Others appeal more.

2/1
18/1, improved form to open his account in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) 58 days ago. Up 7 lb but runner-up has gone in since so he's sure to make his presence felt.

Forecasts

Raymond (2/1), Gemologist (5/1), Breakfast (11/2), Lake Takapuna (11/2), Iolani (17/2), Royal Cosmic (17/2), Al Kherb (14/1), Fisher Green (16/1), Castletown (22/1)

Verdict

LAKE TAKAPUNA resumed in style after a breathing op when scoring over fences at Kelso but is just as adept over hurdles so is taken to follow up here at the chief expense of Raymond who also arrives on the back of a win at Perth. Gemologist is still without a win but appeals as a solid place prospect.

  1. LAKE TAKAPUNA (IRE)
  2. RAYMOND (IRE)
  3. GEMOLOGIST (IRE)
