7/2
Fairly useful hurdler who didn't need to be at his best to land the odds in maiden company at Warwick in April. Bred for the Flat but in good hands as he now goes chasing.

Successful pointer/dual hurdles winner who shaped well when fourth on chase debut at Ascot a year ago. Not quite as good at Exeter a month later and off since but he retains potential.

16/1
Dual hurdles winner who was perked up by a yard switch to score over fences at Uttoxeter (20f, blinkered) in March. However, merely added to patchy record since and he's temperamental.

Off the mark over fences in good style at Huntingdon (19.8f) in February 2020. Ended last season in disappointing fashion bit since had a wind op and given a chance by the assessor. Headgear off.

Maiden/novice winner in 2020 but ran poorly in Sandown listed handicap when last seen. No real surprise he has had wind surgery on the back of that and now goes chasing for new yard.

Point winner who improved on previous Rules form when runner-up in Southwell novice hurdle on debut for this yard in February. Not at that level both starts since but did jump okay on chase debut.

Took well to chasing, posting a career best when winning 3m Bangor handicap in the mud in January. Very disappointing both starts soon after but may have been freshened up by a break. Hood off.

Forecasts

Sopran Thor (7/2), Dhowin (9/2), Go Whatever (9/2), Voyage De Retour (13/2), Enrichissant (15/2), Jack Valentine (12/1), Rosmuc Relay (16/1), Sambezi (16/1), Echo Watt (18/1), Doitforthevillage (22/1), Demon D'Aunou (25/1), Let The Heirs Walk (33/1)

Verdict

GO WHATEVER retains potential as a chaser this term and having eased back to his last winning hurdles mark, he is definitely weighted to strike. Jack Valentine is second choice of those with form over fences, with Sambezi perhaps the pick of the chase debutants.

  1. GO WHATEVER (IRE)
  2. JACK VALENTINE (IRE)
