7/1
Fair maiden hurdler in 2019 but hasn't been seen since pulling up in handicap hurdle at Bangor over 2 years ago. Fitness clearly a big concern on his comeback run.

2/9
Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland who posted a good third in 2m maiden at Fakenham in January. Disappointing at Carlisle next time but still has to be considered the one to beat returning after a break.

Showed fair form when making the frame in the last 2 of his 3 outings in bumpers, but offered little tried hurdling at Hexham in December. Hooded for 1st time.

Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 24). Well backed but only fifth of 9 in a bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) on Rules debut last week.

Bumper winner on debut for Stuart Crawford, but seemed amiss at Sedgefield 15 months later and then considerately handled on Wetherby hurdling debut last time. Has had a wind op. Also tongue tied.

Forecasts

I'm So Busy (2/9), Swedishhorsemafia (13/2), Helford River (7/1), Snow Stoppin Him (12/1), Storm Arcadio (22/1), Teasing Georgia (28/1), Can't Say No (40/1), Miss Blah Blah (250/1)

Verdict

I'M SO BUSY disappointed at Carlisle when last seen in February, but that form has worked out better than anticipated, so he has to be worth one more chance in a weak race back from a break. Swedishhorsemafia retains potential and is fancied to provide the chief threat.
