Fair winner on Flat and successful in handicap hurdles at Uttoxeter and Plumpton last year. Went down fighting at Wincanton but turned in a rare poor effort at Taunton last time. Given a break since.

4/7

Successful in his only point and left his hurdling debut effort well behind when scoring in good style at Kelso. Completed a simple task when following up over C&D and remains capable of better.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Aidan Coleman| T: O Murphy| OR: 127| D

2/1

€200,000 half-brother to smart hurdler/useful chaser Vision des Flos. Opened account in 2m Uttoxeter maiden in December and then was beaten only a neck in a similar event at Leicester. More to come.

150/1

Schiaparelli gelding who is half-brother to 5 winners, but made an underwhelming start to his career when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last week.

Form: 9

Military Tactic¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Best| T: B Pauling

66/1

Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat for Saeed bin Suroor in 2019. Shaped better than the result when well held on Warwick hurdle debut 17 days ago, but will need to settle better if he's to progress.

Form: 8

Storming Carlos

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: R T Dunne| T: S Drinkwater

50/1

€5,000 3-y-o, Carlotamix gelding. Dam unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 3¼m) The Tourard Man. Best watched on debut unless betting speaks in his favour.

NO RISK DES FLOS ran well attempting to concede the best part of a stone to a promising mare at Leicester in January and should have more to come back from a break, so he's narrowly preferred to Rockstar Ronnie, who has looked good in winning his last two starts.
