11/2
Winning pointer who has looked progressive over hurdles and completed a double in a handicap at Aintree 141 days ago, so solid claims if he's ready for this return.

12/1
Dual bumper winner who shaped promisingly in all 3 hurdle runs in 2019/20. Ran poorly back in a bumper after 13 months off at Newcastle in January. Not seen since.

5/1
Ex-pointer who improved on previous Rules efforts when landing a Newton Abbot handicap 20 days ago, albeit rather fortunate to do so (left in front 2 out). Only up 3 lb, so respected.

13/2
Bumper winner who left previous hurdling efforts behind when scoring comfortably in a handicap at Southwell 6 months ago. That form hasn't worked out, though, and this drop in trip might not be ideal.

4/1
Runner-up on the second of 2 starts in bumpers and promise when fourth on both outings in bumpers. Form of latest effort at Ffos Las 7 months ago looks solid, and yard should have him tuned up.

25/1
Landed Taunton handicap in March but in-and-out form since, throwing in a lacklustre display when last seen at Uttoxeter 153 days ago. Others make more appeal.

9/2
Fair form when twice placed in maiden hurdles, and returned with a creditable third at Fontwell on handicap debut. This is a slightly better race, but he's worthy of respect all the same.

Doubled her tally for the season when scoring comfortably in a Fontwell handicap for Graeme McPherson in September and backed it up with a good second at Hereford. Another bold showing on the cards.

Forecasts

Josie Abbing (4/1), Not Sure (4/1), Nashville Nipper (9/2), Grangeclare Glory (5/1), My Bobby Dazzler (11/2), Go Chique (13/2), Lossiemouth (12/1), Cheng Gong (25/1)

Verdict

MY BOBBY DAZZLER was on the up when last seen and, while fitness isn't assured, he's worth chancing to complete the hat-trick back from 141 days off. Josie Abbing arrives at the top of her game and is an obvious danger, while recent Newton Abbot scorer Grangeclare Glory can't be dismissed.
