Long-standing maiden when trained in Ireland but very much caught the eye on thrid start for Olly Murphy when second at Wincanton. Interesting now back up in trip in refitted headgear (had wind op).

Modest maiden hurdler who attracted support sent chasing at Catterick last month, though the writing was on the wall at an early stage, soon detached and fell seventh. Back hurdling now.

Fared better than of late when 16 lengths second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) in December. However, his patchy record tempers enthusiasm.

Fair maiden hurdler who is struggling for form this season, soon off the bridle on most recent outing at Newcastle in December. Break needs to have perked him up.

Modest 12f maiden on Flat who improved when a close fourth on his handicap hurdle debut at Catterick (19.3f) 24 days ago. This slightly longer trip will suit, so considered in first-time cheekpieces.

Scored twice at Sedgefield last winter but below par so far this season, including back at that venue last time. On the upside, he's back on his last winning mark.

Improved in blinkers/tongue strap combination in November, scoring twice at Sedgefield. Possibly amiss when pulled up at Catterick recently, but claims if bouncing back in first-time visor.

Forecasts

Storm Nelson (11/4), First Class Return (11/4), Silk Or Scarlet (7/1), Park Lane Dancer (15/2), Echo Express (10/1), Get Help (10/1), Border Victor (16/1), Hot Gossip (18/1), Crackdeloust (22/1), Bertie Blake (22/1), Six One Nine (28/1)

Verdict

It may be worth taking a chance on previous course winner STORM NELSON, who reappears for a new yard after 13 months with relatively few miles on the clock. First Class Return caught the eye at Wincanton and is interesting now back up in trip, with Park Lane Dancer completing the shortlist.

  1. STORM NELSON (IRE)
  2. FIRST CLASS RETURN (IRE)
  3. PARK LANE DANCER (IRE)
