Looked a useful recruit when making a winning hurdles debut at Kempton last January but he's been a touch disappointing since, including well held in 2 handicaps this winter. Blinkers need to help.

Useful on Flat and similar standard over hurdles, winning twice. Yet to fire this season, but he has come down 13 lb in 3 runs so he is well treated if staging a revival.

Dual 2m Musselburgh winner for Keith Dalgleish last winter but hasn't fired on AW Flat for current yard this winter ahead of this return to hurdles.

Back to something like his smart Flat form when hacking up in 2m Plumpton handicap hurdle last March. Disappointing since, but edging down the weights and his yard is in form. Hood added.

Made good start over hurdles (won 2m maiden in April) but he's found life tougher in handicaps lately, albeit he may have needed it after a break latest. Cheekpieces go on.

Runner-up on a couple of occasions over hurdles last term. Also second in chase at Wincanton in December but has run 2 lesser races there since. Back hurdling now. Headgear on first time over jumps.

7/2
Seeking a C&D hat-trick after a pair of wins last month. Had a bit in hand last time so a further 5 lb rise is unlikely to prevent her making a bold bid.

Dual Flat winner last spring who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in a 2m Chepstow novice over Christmas. Only sixth in 18.5f Exeter handicap since but drop back in trip could help.

Scored at Perth (2m, heavy) last spring. Shaped encouragingly after 6 months off when fourth of 18 in deep 2m handicap at Cheltenham. Hasn't built on that twice since but there were excuses latest.

Fairly useful Flat winner won has made a promising start over hurdles, second at Newbury before readily going one better at Ludlow. Opening mark of 115 could underestimate him.

Forecasts

Dr T J Eckleburg (7/4), Amelia's Dance (7/2), Sofia's Rock (6/1), Natural History (13/2), Seventeen O Four (9/1), Sage Advice (12/1), City Derby (14/1), Iron Mike (22/1), Pawpaw (33/1), Breguet Boy (100/1)

Verdict

There's surely more to come from DR T J ECKLEBURG who can make light of an opening mark of 115. The C&D hat-trick seeking Amelia's Dance is next best ahead of Seventeen O Four, who may benefit from this drop back in distance.
