Fair 7f Flat winner and has translated most of that ability to hurdles. This lot less competitive than Cheltenham handicap he ran in last time. Cheekpieces on first time with a tongue strap refitted.

Half-brother to couple of fairly useful hurdle winners. Only finisher when gaining his point win and well held in Aintree bumper (for Peter Fahey) in May 2919. Off since ahead of return for new yard.

Modest winning stayer on Flat but well held in 2 runs over hurdles at Ffos Las last month. Drops in grade now but still likely best to look elsewhere.

Musselburgh bumper winner for Nicky Richards. No show in maiden/novice hurdles for this yard but offered a bit more when sixth of 10 in Wincanton in handicap 13 days ago. Needs to build on that.

Displayed as much temperament as ability in a trio of bumpers and jumped poorly and always behind on recent Wincanton hurdle bow. Visored first time.

Modest Flat winner and stepped up on her first 2 efforts over hurdles when 25 lengths third in 19.5f Bangor novice 3 weeks ago. Repeat of that form unlikely to see her far away here.

Forecasts

Falberto (6/5), Guildhall (11/2), Elios D'Or (13/2), Para Queen (8/1), Raven's Raft (12/1), Gamalou D'alene (12/1), Bagan (14/1), Bbob Alula (25/1), Tom O'Roughley (25/1), Earthly (40/1), Perfect Percy (40/1), Lazarina (50/1), Mr Peanut (150/1)

Verdict

The Leicester seller FALBERTO was second in last month has actually thrown up a couple of winners and a repeat of that form may be enough for him to get off the mark here. Raven's Raft gets plenty of weight from the selection and will be a threat if backing up her Bangor run. Guildhall will find this easier than the Cheltenham handicap he ran in last time and is also on the shortlist.

  1. FALBERTO (FR)
  2. RAVEN'S RAFT (IRE)
  3. GUILDHALL
