Fair 1m6f Flat winner who doubled hurdles tally on back of wind op at Doncaster (2m) last month. Yet to be asked for effort when falling 4 out at Ludlow 27 days ago and not dismissed.

Landed C&D handicap in March and posted another good effort when second back here 13 days ago. Has bit to find but still not ruled out.

Fair 1m6f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott in 2019. Off 19 months before tenderly-handled third of 14 in 2m novice here on hurdling debut 29 days ago. Sure to do better, and looks the one to beat.

Well held in a bumper in 2019 for Richard Bandey and on hurdling bow at Hereford in November. Very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Mon Frere (10/11), Cheng Gong (6/4), Templepark (6/4), Ginistrelli (6/1), Smartmandarcy (125/1)

Verdict

Paul Nicholls' MON FRERE should take a big step forward from his recent hurdling bow when considerately handled after an absence and looks hard to beat here. Olly Murphy's Ginistrelli appeals as the one to chase him home, although Cheng Gong goes really well round here and is respected too.

  1. MON FRERE (IRE)
  2. GINISTRELLI (IRE)
  3. CHENG GONG
