4/1
Bounced back from a couple of below-par displays when belatedly opening account in 17.2f handicap at Carlisle in October. Nothing wrong with subsequent second at Musselburgh but he's up further 4 lb.

8/1
Bumper winner who produces his most encouraging effort yet over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces when third at Limerick on handicap debut in May. Of interest on return to action.

5/2
Bumper winner who looks a work in progress over hurdles but he is progressive, tongue tied when third over this C&D 3 weeks ago. Opening mark could be lenient.

11/4
Laid a solid platform for handicaps with a brace of fourth-place finishes at this venue in recent weeks. Opening mark looks fair.

7/2
Fair form in bumpers in 2018/19 and returned (after a wind op) with a career best effort over hurdles when third at Carlisle in October. 2 lb rise very fair if he's in the same form.

Forecasts

Douglas Talking (5/2), Fame Valley (11/4), Cellar Vie (7/2), Universal Folly (4/1), Well Planted (7/1), Kinnegad Lad (8/1)

Verdict

A sextet to view positively on the whole with the vote going to DOUGLAS TALKING, who displayed progressive form in his qualifying runs and he has been allotted a very fair opening mark. Cellar Vie has to be of interest on the back of his Carlisle run, while Kinnegad Lad is open to plenty of improvement.

  1. DOUGLAS TALKING (IRE)
  2. CELLAR VIE
  3. KINNEGAD LAD (IRE)
