Has looked as good as ever since returning from a long absence, stamina seeming to ebb away late on when sixth over 3m at Cheltenham last time. Drop in trip therefore a good move.

Is a weak finisher but wasn't disgraced behind the promising Bear Ghylls on second start for this yard at Exeter (18.5f) last time.

Opened hurdles account at Taunton final run last term. Resolution when push comes to shove often missing with him though, and he hung left before falling at Newbury a month ago.

Better than ever for Tom Symonds in December, winning at Ludlow and dead-heating at Taunton (3m). Should be just as effective back down trip (strong traveller) and can go well again.

Fairly useful hurdler who again ran well on the back of a wind operation when third at Leicester (15.5f) 22 days ago, running on. First try at beyond 2m.

Won Chepstow maiden on second start for Paul Nicholls in November, but that was a muddling race and he was beaten under a penalty at Southwell last time. Into handicaps now with a bit to prove.

Taunton maiden hurdle winner and arrives at the top of his game, again ridden with restraint when runner-up at Exeter 3 weeks ago. Same mark here and he should remain competitive at the very least.

Fairly useful Flat maiden who showed fair form in this sphere in 2018/19. Stepped up on Taunton return when fourth of 11 in Fontwell handicap (17.7f) 3 weeks ago, racing on unfavoured inside.

Useful at up to 2m on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger in 2018. Bit of promise in maiden/novice hurdles for new yard this term but more needed now handicapping.

Forecasts

Stormy Flight (5/2), And The New (4/1), Broken Quest (5/1), Thor De Cerisy (6/1), Zafar (17/2), Rocheston (9/1), Nordic Combined (12/1), Mustang Alpha (14/1), Dan McGrue (40/1), Clongowes (50/1)

Verdict

STORMY FLIGHT was unlucky to bump into the unbeaten Bear Ghylls at Exeter last month and is clearly up to winning a handicap from his current mark. Zafar stepped up on his return at Fontwell 3 weeks ago and is worth extra credit considering he was the only one to race along the unfavoured inside. The thriving Broken Quest completes the shortlist.

  1. STORMY FLIGHT (IRE)
  2. ZAFAR (GER)
  3. BROKEN QUEST (IRE)
