7/4
Fine novice campaign last season, winning 4 times and was third in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr when last seen in April. Bold show likely if full tuned-up for this assignment.

Produced a career-best when notching third hurdles success at Ludlow in May. Further progress when chasing home an in-form rival at Stratford the following month and he has to enter calculations.

9/2
Useful Flat stayer who has made a fine start over hurdles, making it 4-5 in this sphere when narrowly prevailing at Cartmel last time. Needs considering up just 3 lb, for all that this is tougher.

40/1
Enhanced good strike rate over hurdles when landing a 19.8f Sedgefield handicap in March. Ran poorly pitched into listed company next time and improvement needed back from a 6-month absence.

Successful off this mark at Plumpton last October and returned to form when a clear second in a 2m handicap there 24 days ago. Forecast conditions in his favour and should be in the mix.

Verdict

Conceding weight all round in this small but select field won't be easy, but TOMMY'S OSCAR could be equal to the task. Indeed, he enjoyed a most productive novice campaign last term, culminating in a solid effort in the Scottish Champion Hurdle, and may well have more to offer this season. Constancio, Alqamar and Takeit Easy (in that order of preference) are all greatly respected.
