7/1
Grade 2 winner over hurdles/fences, landing Dipper at Cheltenham last term, and ran another cracker there when gutsy second of 17 in Caspian Caviar Gold Cup. Back hurdling but not taken lightly.

18/5
Useful hurdler/chaser who posted good fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Ascot (21f, soft) 25 days ago. Remains low mileage so no forlorn hope back hurdling.

Back on the up returned to hurdles this season, decisive winner of handicaps here and Haydock (19f, heavy). Up another 8 lb but clearly thriving and a player.

Let down by his jumping over fences last term and back in fine form hurdling this season, edged out on line in 20f Hereford handicap in December. On long losing run but weighted to go close again.

Scored at Carlisle in November but well below par last two outings, remote fourth of 6 at Chepstow latest. C&D winner but needs to bounce back.

Three-time winner last term who got back on track when second of 7 in handicap over C&D (heavy) 36 days ago. Not discounted off same mark here.

66/1
C&D winner who shaped as if in need of run after 10 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap at Haydock (18.9f, 25/1) 60 days ago. Should strip fitter now so not totally dismissed.

Made it 2-2 this season for new yard with stylish handicap victory at Chepstow (2m3f) last month. Up 5 b but still lightly raced and very much the sort to win more handicaps.

Turned in one of his better efforts when runner-up in handicap at Doncaster (16.6f) 50 days ago, though very much had run of race there so others are still preferred.

Forecasts

Nightboattoclyro (3/1), Good Boy Bobby (18/5), Albert's Back (4/1), Miah Grace (13/2), Midnight Shadow (7/1), West To The Bridge (15/2), No Comment (12/1), En Meme Temps (22/1), Secrete Stream (66/1)

Verdict

A cracking handicap but it would be madness to side against NIGHTBOATTOCLYRO who remains unbeaten for Sam Drinkwater and had a fair bit left in the tank when a ready scorer at Chepstow last month. No Comment is without a win since 2017 but went down by the narrowest of margins at Hereford and is weighted to have a big say again. Hat-trick seeking Albert's Back is not ruled out easily either.

  1. NIGHTBOATTOCLYRO
  2. NO COMMENT
  3. ALBERT'S BACK
