9/1
Good-looking Irish point/bumper winner who has made up into a fairly useful novice hurdler this term. Stiff task when well held in Haydock Grade 2 last time, but opening mark looks on the high side.

15/8
Dual bumper winner who opened his hurdle account in Uttoxeter maiden (19.9f) in December. Let down by his jumping at Ascot prior to stiff task in Haydock Grade 2. Cheekpieces on 1st time/had wind op.

5/1
Progressive since switched to handicaps, wide-margin winner at Southwell and Stratford in August. Improved further in finding only one too good both subsequent starts and remains of interest.

9/4
Improved further to open his account over 23f at Kelso (heavy) in December. Could run to only a similar level here 8 weeks later, but retains potential now venturing into handicaps back up in trip.

6/1
Found some improvement over a much longer trip when winning 6-runner maiden hurdle (5/2) at Uttoxeter (23.3f, heavy) 27 days ago. That was a thin race, but his opening mark looks a fair one.

50/1
Clear signs of ability in maiden/novice events and, although he didn't get home upped in trip on his Catterick handicap debut, he still needs to find some improvement to defy his current mark.

Forecasts

Tupelo Mississippi (15/8), Deluxe Range (9/4), Bushypark (9/4), No Regrets (5/1), Happy Hollow (6/1), Le Cheval Noir (9/1), Leostar (33/1), Skipness (50/1)

Verdict

NO REGRETS boasts a progressive profile and arrives here fresh following a mid-season break, so he receives the narrow vote. Busypark completed the 5-timer over hurdles at Haydock last month and may not have finished improving yet, with Deluxe Range clear pick of the handicap debutants.

  1. NO REGRETS (IRE)
  2. BUSHYPARK (IRE)
  3. DELUXE RANGE (IRE)
