Built on encouraging Sandown effort in December when resuming winning ways at Doncaster (24.4f) later that month. In good heart since, third at Exeter 6 weeks ago. Can go well again.

11/2

Useful novice chaser in early 2019. Proved that he retains ability after 20 months off when fourth back over hurdles at Ayr, ultimately shaping as if the run was needed. Headgear back on.

11/2

Fair winning 3m hurdler in 2019. Arrives on back of 3 poor efforts this season but has dipped below his winning mark and yard going well. Tongue strap back on.

3/1

Chepstow winner last season but just the one decent effort this term, failing to complete last 2 starts. Switches from chase to hurdles and potentially on a good mark in this sphere.

Form: P1-25FP

Forecasts

Flemcara (15/8), Holdbacktheriver (3/1), Bannixtown Glory (9/2), Rio Quinto (11/2), Fontley House (11/2)

FONTLEY HOUSE has failed to fire this season but has dipped below his last winning mark so could be worth chancing with his yard going through a good spell. Holdbacktheriver is potentially on a good mark back over hurdles and is next best.
