3/1
Bumper winner who bagged Plumpton novices on 2 of his final 3 starts of last season. Failed to fully fire on return/handicap bow at Lingfield (19.5f) and he'll need to settle better this time.

Fairly useful hurdler in France and opened British account over C&D in February. Not seen to best effect on final start of last term and open to improvement now handicapping/on back of wind op.

Dual bumper/hurdles winner for Willie Mullins, but he hasn't shown much spark, albeit in far stronger company than this, in 2 starts for new yard since returning from a lengthy absence.

Hit the target 3 times as a juvenile last season and right back to form when third in a 9-runner Doncaster handicap (16.6f) 15 days ago. 1 lb lower now and he is certainly one to consider.

20/1
Losing run stretches back to November 2018 and while the handicapper continues to relent, this 10-y-o is not the force of old judged on his exploits earlier this year. Returns from a break now.

9/2
Sole hurdles success was gained in a Limerick maiden for Gordon Elliott back in April 2018. However, he has shown enough on these shores to suggest that there's a race in him off this sort of mark.

Dual French Flat winner and placed 3 times in maiden hurdles for Gary Moore last term. Pulled up in handicap chase on return/debut for new yard following a wind op, but bounce back not ruled out here.

Forecasts

Royaume Uni (7/4), Pyramid Place (2/1), Smurphy Enki (3/1), Hystery Bere (9/2), Kuraka (9/2), Touchthesoul (12/1), Vive Le Roi (20/1), Dorrells Pierji (20/1)

Verdict

Twice a winner as a juvenile last season, HYSTERY BERE wasn't seen to best effect when third in a novice event on his final start at Huntingdon in February. Arriving here on the back of a wind op, he rates the type to do better again now handicapping and could be worth siding with. Royaume Uni and Pyramid Place are others fancied to feature.

  1. HYSTERY BERE (FR)
  2. ROYAUME UNI (IRE)
  3. PYRAMID PLACE (IRE)
