Eventful^t1⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J & S Best| OR: 67

Fair form on the Flat for Mick Quinn last year but no real impact over hurdles since joining this yard. Tongue tie added. Perhaps best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.

7/2

13/2, career best when winning 8-runner novice at Nottingham (1m, good) 15 days ago, keeping on well. Should be capable of going close from a mark in low 70s on that evidence. Big player under Buick.

Forecasts

Cuban Cigar (7/2), Sienna Breeze (7/2), Atavique (4/1), Contingency Fee (9/2), Hotspur Harry (13/2), Arthur's Angel (15/2), Classy Dame (17/2), Torbellino (9/1), My Target (12/1), Catch My Breath (16/1), Eventful (33/1)

SIENNA BREEZE showed improved form to win a novice at Nottingham last time and looks well treated off a mark of 71 now back in a handicap with William Buick doing the steering. The thriving Contingency Fee looks next best ahead of last month's C&D scorer Atavique.
