7/4
Quickly made up into useful hurdler last term and produced an encouraging chasing debut when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on reappearance. Off a further 116 days since but mark looks reasonable.

5/2
Nicely bred and was progressing well at this track when last seen, showing a good attitude to win a couple of novices. 13-month absence to overcome on hurdling debut, however.

Fairly useful jumper in France, winning completing 4-timer in Cagnes-Sur-Mer listed chase. Returns to hurdling having run out early in handicap chase at Musselburgh on debut for this yard.

6/1
Useful hurdler who hasn't been in great form this term but went off too hard at Sandown 52 days ago. Mark is edging back down, so not a forlorn hope if he gets his own way in front.

20/1
Winning pointer who made up into a fairly useful hurdler last term but hasn't made any great impact over fences this term. Needs to improve back in this discipline.

11/1
Has some temperament but he did manage a win at Wincanton in December and was quickly back to form when second in a handicap there a month ago. One to consider.

Fairly useful jumper at up to 23f in France but jumped poorly when pulled up on British/stable debut, so no surprise to see him back over hurdles.

Forecasts

King Roland (7/4), Masters Legacy (5/2), Totterdown (6/1), Rockadenn (17/2), Pic D'Orhy (9/1), River Bray (11/1), Getaway Fred (20/1), Pinson Du Rheu (125/1)

Verdict

KING ROLAND made a positive return when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on chasing debut and remains with potential in this sphere, so he's fancied to improve past a mark of 140 up against, in the main, more exposed types. Masters Legacy is progressive but has a lengthy absence to overcome, so last year's Betfair Hurdle winner Pic d'Orhy could pose the main threat to the selection.

  1. KING ROLAND (IRE)
  2. PIC D'ORHY (FR)
  3. MASTERS LEGACY (IRE)
