9/1
Veteran who was in fine form over fences in 2019, winning 3 times. Underwhelming thereafter and a well-held fourth in a point recently leaves him with plenty of questions to answer.

Successful twice in points and also made the frame last month, but little to get excited about under Rules for some time.

Clearly isn't the force of old, taking keen hold and not always fluent on first go in hunters at Musselburgh. No impact in Foxhunters' Chase at Aintree last time but this is far easier.

Dual handicap-chase winner in spring of 2019. No impact when last of 2 finishers on hunter debut at Wincanton but he should be able to build on that. Tongue tie removed.

Multiple winner in points who landed a course maiden hunter in 2018. Hard to draw many positives from last month's run at Perth.

Not the force of old but, having moved yards again, he shaped as if retaining some ability when fifth in handicap hurdle at Southwell in March. Now in the care of Lawney Hill and he's interesting.

Attitude main reason for long losing sequence under Rules and failed to land a meaningful blow in a point last month.

Forecasts

Reikers Island (2/1), Looking Well (85/40), Minella Daddy (10/3), Dressedforsuccess (8/1), Anteros (9/1), Knockaderry Flyer (16/1), Refusal (22/1), Sheer Poetry (28/1), O'Grady's Boy (33/1), Numbercruncher (66/1), Shantou Tiger (80/1)

Verdict

REIKERS ISLAND proved that he retains a fair level of ability when fifth in a handicap hurdle in March on his sole outing for Dr Richard Newland. He's joined another very capable yard and he could be the answer on second hunter start. Looking Well and Minella Dandy are the obvious threats.

  1. REIKERS ISLAND (IRE)
  2. LOOKING WELL (IRE)
  3. MINELLA DADDY (IRE)
