Useful on his day. Operating below his best this term but latest Exeter fourth was a step back in the right direction and he's more than capable of winning off this mark.

Lost his way last season but back on track in a first-time visor when runner-up at Leicester (20.5f) in December. Prominent for a long way over 21.5f at Ascot since and treated as if still in form.

Juvenile/novice hurdle winner last spring. Not disgraced in Northumberland Vase on AW Flat at Newcastle when last seen in June and returns from a break with her yard in good form. Unexposed.

Promise in bumpers and fairly useful form over hurdles, landing a C&D maiden last February. Has taken to fences this term but may do better back hurdling. Also tongue tied first time.

Left previous efforts behind when making winning handicap debut at Newton Abbot in October. Matched that form when second over C&D the following month but a lesser run at Exeter since needs forgiving.

Forecasts

West To The Bridge (9/4), Nordano (3/1), Investment Manager (3/1), Bellatrixsa (5/1), Champagne Rhythm (15/2)

Verdict

There were better signs from WEST TO THE BRIDGE last time and he's worth a chance to build on that given he's now 11 lb below his last winning mark. The obvious danger is the unexposed Bellatrixsa on her return from a break for the in-form Venetia Williams stable.

  1. WEST TO THE BRIDGE (IRE)
  2. BELLATRIXSA (IRE)
  3. CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM (IRE)
