Better effort in novice hurdles around 19.5f last spring when 10 lengths fourth at Wetherby in March. Potential for better again, although drop back to 2m not certain to play to his strengths.

Forecasts

Blazing Port (1/4), Lanty Slea (7/4), Morozov Cocktail (13/2), Lady Villanelle (17/2), Nyoufsea (14/1), Euro Fou (22/1), Otello Moor (25/1), Paddy The Panda (33/1), Clattering Ford (125/1), Mr Jv (250/1), Penny Hill (250/1)

Verdict

There was plenty to like about BLAZING PORT's C&D hurdle debut second last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Morozov Cocktail is a possible danger in a race lacking depth.

  1. BLAZING PORT (IRE)
  2. MOROZOV COCKTAIL (IRE)
  3. LADY VILLANELLE (IRE)
