2/1
Useful 3-time 2m novice hurdle winner this season. Failed to meet expectations in jumpers bumper last time, but well respected now back over hurdles with assistance of promising 7-lb claimer.

Progressing nicely over hurdles before the turn of the year, winning a brace of novices either side of a good second on Ascot handicap debut. Arrives here fresh and the one to beat.

Plenty of experience in points and opened bumper account in determined style at Wincanton. Showed a good attitude to follow up on Fakenham hurdle debut prior to good second at Huntingdon 13 days ago.

Fair winner on Flat for M. F. Weissmeier in Germany, stays 1¾m, unplaced in claimer last time. Should have a future over hurdles but probably best watched here.

Well-bred French Flat winner who showed promise in a pair of juvenile hurdles prior to winning AW bumper/handicap on Flat in good style. Back over timber now and not ruled out.

Fair Flat winner (stays 1¼m) who is the in the right hands to make it as a hurdler, but this is a tough starting point.

Forecasts

Straw Fan Jack (2/1), Flic Ou Voyou (2/1), Royaume Uni (3/1), Pasvolsky (6/1), Legal Rights (33/1), Voice Of Calm (50/1)

Verdict

STRAW FAN JACK and Flic Ou Voyou have achieved a similar level of form, but slight preference is for the former, who arrives here fresh and with fewer miles on the clock.

  1. STRAW FAN JACK
  2. FLIC OU VOYOU (FR)
  3. PASVOLSKY (IRE)
