Failed to score in 4 starts last season but has progressed well this term, winning a brace of handicaps before creditable fourth in River Don at Doncaster. Unseated rider second at Haydock last time.

Useful in bumpers and easily landed the odds on Warwick hurdle debut, jumping fluently throughout. Not quite in same form in a stronger event at Newbury but is still the one to beat up in trip here.

Promise on the first of 2 starts in bumpers in spring 2019, but was well held making hurdling debut back from 22 months off at Ffos Las.

Shaped like a stayer making a belated Rules debut in an Exeter bumper in December. This longer trip will therefore suit better now hurdling, but unlikely to be of interest this side of handicaps.

Forecasts

Bothwell Bridge (8/15), Henry Gondoff (6/4), Exploiteur (7/4), Anax (16/1), Lisnagoorneen (125/1), Sam Haze (125/1), Gilwen Reacher (150/1)

Verdict

BOTHWELL BRIDGE was put in his place at Newbury in December, but that form has been well advertised since, so he's fancied to resume winning ways now moving up to a distance that should be within range. Henry Gondoff is open to more progress over this longer trip and is preferred to Exploiteur for forecast purposes.
