Irish challenger who matched the pick of his hurdle form when fourth of 9 on his 20.5f Ayr handicap debut 34 days ago. May do better.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: N W Alexander| OR: 108| CD

13/8

Has taken very well to fences, winning handicaps at Kelso and over C&D in recent months. Another 7 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick with further improvement on cards.

Broadway Joe (13/8), Just Call Me Al (11/4), Away At Dawn (4/1), The Blame Game (8/1), Presenting Dylan (17/2), Idilico (22/1)

BRAODWAY JOE looked far from all out when scoring over C&D last month and can show he's still a step ahead of the handicapper. Theo Gillard takes a handy 5 lb off the back of the consistent Away At Dawn and he's feared most ahead of last week's Carlisle second Just Call Me Al.
