16/5

Fair maiden hurdler, twice runner-up at Dieppe in 2018/19. Off 29 months before remote third in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (20f) on UK debut 43 days ago. Tongue strap on now and should step forward.

Useful bumper winner here before failing to land odds after 10 months off when third in novice at Fontwell (17.7f) on hurdles bow 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip and has more to offer. Player.

Forecasts

Wiseguy (10/11), Dash Full Of Cash (5/2), Amenon (16/5), City Limits (13/2), Ernie Bilko (33/1)

WISEGUY is fancied to take a step forward from his hurding debut third now stepped up in trip so this useful bumper winner gets the nod. Amenon should also strip sharper for his Ffos Las third after a long absence and rates the chief threat ahead of debutant Dash Full Of Cash.
