33/1

Course chase/hurdle winner on heavy last autumn. Could be sharper for a run at Perth last month and the more rain the better for him.

12/1

16/1, remote fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (25.8f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Will need to step up on that to get heavily involved here.

15/2

In the frame in handicap hurdle for Dan Skelton in first half of last season. Left that yard after a poor run on chase debut in December. Betting best guide for new yard after 140 days off.

Skipthescales (4/1), The Ogle Gogle Man (9/2), Sidi Ismael (9/2), Ask Henry (6/1), Aptly Put (13/2), Roses Poses (15/2), Manetti (10/1), Skiddaw Tara (12/1), Rivabodiva (20/1), Scoop The Pot (20/1), Calivigny (33/1), Bialco (33/1), Final Reminder (50/1), See Double You (50/1)

ASK HENRY's latest Warwick second looks solid form so he might be worth siding with to go one better off only 1 lb higher. Manetti and The Ogle Gogle Man were second and fourth in the same C&D handicap at the Scottish National meeting and head the dangers along with Kelso-scorer Sidi Ismael.
