66/1
28/1, first run since leaving Gavin Cromwell when modest third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, soft) 37 days ago. Back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted but others appeal more.

Winless since 2019, and below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) 79 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with something to prove.

Still to register a victory, and only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Hexham (20.1f, good) 26 days ago. Has work to do.

Caught the eye when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle over C&D 25 days ago. Eased 1 lb now and can make his presence felt in bid for a first win.

Still to get his head in front but he recorded good fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 21 days ago, faring best of those held up. Bold showing is on the cards now up in trip.

Modest maiden who offered little on yard debut when pulled up in Uttoxeter handicap last month. Visored now but easy to look elsewhere.

Below form ninth of 20 in 3m handicap hurdle at Cork in 2017 for Andrew Lynch. Since scored in points but has plenty to prove on his comeback run.

10/3
Posted his best effort when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, good) 26 days ago, doing too much too soon. Cheekpieces go on and well worth considering with Brian Hughes now up.

25/1, modest seventh of 9 in 2m novice hurdle here 12 days ago. Goes into handicaps over much longer trip but lot more is required.

Unreliable type who remains a maiden after 16 runs. Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D 12 days ago but others remain more persuasive.

Poor hurdler who is still without a win after ten starts in this sphere. Cheekpieces go on but easy to look elsewhere from 6 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Scullys Forge (11/4), Special Brute (3/1), Luca Brasi's Boy (10/3), Gripper (6/1), Pasley (8/1), Golden Chancer (18/1), Frankies Fire (22/1), Taking Flight (25/1), Tara Kay (28/1), Steel Yard (33/1), Flutter Down (40/1), Captain Courageous (66/1), Doldrum Bay (80/1), An Siltean (100/1)

Verdict

LUCA BRASI'S BOY shaped well when third at Hexham last month and with Brian Huges now in the saddle he looks the one to take care of business. Special Brute is also searching for his first win but arrives in good nick and rates the main danger ahead of Scullys Forge.

  1. LUCA BRASI'S BOY (IRE)
  2. SPECIAL BRUTE (GER)
  3. SCULLYS FORGE (IRE)
