11/1

C&D winner. Two wins from 44 NH runs. Respectable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 40/1) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Crack On Corrie (5/2), Presenting Point (9/2), It's Only A Number (5/1), Moyode Lady (8/1), Motcomb Street (9/1), Arvicta (10/1), See Double You (11/1), Whoyakodding (11/1), Johnnys Girl (12/1), Witness Of Fashion (16/1), Kos (16/1), Shantou Sisu (16/1), The Broom Squire (20/1), All Class (28/1)

IT'S ONLY A NUMBER shapes as if this return to a slightly longer trip will suit and gets the nod to build on a fairly encouraging comeback run at Tipperary. Crack on Corrie's very consistent record of late stands out in this line-up so he's much respected now going back over fences. Presenting Point is also on the shortlist after a good second at Thurles last time.
