8/13
Useful Flat handicapper who landed his first couple of starts over hurdles before bumping into Barrichello in a listed event at Haydock a couple of months ago. Can get back to winning ways.

Scorpion gelding who landed a bumper at Catterick before following up in a 5-runner novice at Musselburgh, well on top at the finish. Bold showing on the cards in hat-trick bid.

66/1
Was fairly useful in bumpers but hasn't offered much over hurdles as yet. He's likely more of a handicap type.

14/1
From a good family and made winning start in Fakenham bumper before a creditable second at Perth 9 months ago. Not seen since, but should take to hurdling. Worth a market check.

8/1
Irish point winner at third attempt who ran to a fair level when third on 2m4f Carlisle hurdle bow in October. Ran out at Newcastle 48 days ago but he's worth forgiving that for the time being.

Forecasts

It's Good To Laugh (8/13), River Walk (7/2), Paddy The Horse (8/1), Harry Du Berlais (12/1), Dom Perry (14/1), Post No Bills (50/1), Adelphi Sprite (66/1)

Verdict

IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH is the clear form pick and is fancied to make it 3 from 4 over hurdles back down in grade having contested a listed event when last seen. River Walk is an obvious danger bidding to defend his unbeaten record and Paddy The Horse is still one to be positive about despite running out early on his latest appearance.

  1. IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH (IRE)
  2. RIVER WALK (IRE)
  3. PADDY THE HORSE (IRE)
