16/1
Dual Irish hurdles winner for Joseph O'Brien in 2018. Hasn't shown much in 9 starts over fences, including on debut for new yard last month, but on a potentially good mark back in this sphere.

9/1
Won a jumpers bumper at Lingfield for Gary Moore in January. Hasn't made much of an impact in various race-types since, including back hurdling over C&D recently, and others make more appeal.

Improved when doubling his tally in this sphere in good style over C&D 10 days ago. 2 lb 'well in' under a penalty and he will take plenty of stopping.

3/1
Excellent strike rate in both codes in recent times, benefiting from late fall of a strong-travelling rival for latest win at Market Rasen last month. 4 lb rise fair and should make his presence felt.

Forecasts

Chez Hans (1/2), Thahab Ifraj (3/1), Mr One More (5/1), Esprit De Somoza (9/1), Triplicate (16/1)

Verdict

Impressive over this C&D with Ben Bromley in the hot-seat 10 days ago, CHEZ HANS may have further progress in the locker and is taken to strike again. Thahab Ifraj produced his best effort yet at Market Rasen last time and is clear second choice. Esprit de Somoza, Mr One More and Triplicate all have something to prove at present, but the last-named is worth a second look back over hurdles.

  1. CHEZ HANS (GER)
  2. THAHAB IFRAJ (IRE)
  3. TRIPLICATE (IRE)
