9/4
Smart hurdler who doubled his tally over fences when bolting up in 19.5f Chepstow listed event on return in October. Well held both starts since, but big chance if able to bounce back here.

11/2
Progressive hurdler last term and made it 2-3 over fences when running away with a 4-runner Sedgefield (21.1f, soft) handicap. Now 9 lb higher in a tougher race, so another personal best is needed.

Did the job well making all on chase debut here in November. Valid excuses for low-key displays in graded company the last twice and he's a big player back down in trip for this handicap debut.

Well beaten on return at Aintree, but firmly back on track following a wind op when landing a competitive Warwick handicap (2½m, soft). 4 lb rise fair and still has low mileage, so couldn't out.

Looked promising when winning both completed starts over fences last term. However, this season's efforts have been underwhelming and hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces working the oracle here.

Forecasts

Kalooki (2/1), Grand Sancy (9/4), Espoir De Teillee (9/2), Mr Muldoon (11/2), Barton Knoll (13/2), Boldmere (7/1)

Verdict

This looks very competitive, despite the small field. Preference is for BARTON KNOLL, who gave way only late in the piece after attempting to make all in a higher grade C&D handicap last time. That was his first run following a 3-month break, so he's entitled to come on for it. Paul Nicholls has won this race twice in recent years and his representative Grand Sancy is next best ahead of Kalooki.

  1. BARTON KNOLL
  2. GRAND SANCY (FR)
  3. KALOOKI (GER)
