Fairly useful jumper at up to 23f in France, but pulled up both starts for new connections this season. Tongue strap applied.

Notched second hurdles success over C&D in January. Subsequently went close in a mares' handicap at Exeter and another bold show anticipated.

Ex-pointer who made every post a winning one in a novice at Chepstow last term. No impact in 2 runs this time round, but it's still early days and the handicapper has been quick to show mercy.

Winning pointer who opened hurdles account at Hereford in November. Poor effort next time, but put that behind him when fourth of 12 at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) since and he's not discounted.

Fairly useful on Flat and made winning debut over hurdles at Wetherby in January 2019. Well held for new yard back from a 25-month absence at Ludlow, but that spin will have blown away the cobwebs.

Fitting of blinkers/switch to positive tactics did the trick when opening hurdles account in a Taunton seller 16 days ago. More needed back in handicap company for new connections.

Juvenile hurdle winner here in December 2018. Well beaten first 2 starts for this yard, but back on track with creditable efforts at Warwick and Plumpton the last twice and since undergone a wind op.

Both wins have been registered here, the latest in the 2019 renewal of this race. Runner-up on first 2 starts of the current campaign, but form has dipped since and needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Lily The Pink (5/4), Mustang Alpha (7/2), Potters Venture (13/2), Westbrook Bertie (17/2), Coal Stock (12/1), Hier Encore (12/1), Lisheen Castle (14/1), Pinson Du Rheu (50/1)

Verdict

POTTERS VENTURE has hardly covered himself in glory in his 2 starts since returning to action in January, but the promise he showed when landing a Chepstow maiden last season remains fresh in the memory and he is of interest off a reduced mark. Lily The Pink merits serious consideration in current form and Lisheen Castle is one to note in the betting. However, Westbrook Bertie is feared most.
