5/2

Veteran who landed handicaps 9 months apart in 2019 (latterly over C&D). Seen in action only 4 times since, though latest second at Haydock was a big step back in the right direction. Player.

Form: 11/3-PP2

4/1

Back-to-back juvenile hurdle winner last summer who wasn't disgraced up in class next 2 starts. Closing on winner when falling last on handicap debut at Doncaster but needs to shrug off Haydock run.

Forecasts

Blue Hawaii (9/4), Laskadine (9/4), Minella Charmer (5/2), Sacre Pierre (4/1), Serious Ego (11/2)

MINELLA CHARMER took a big step back in the right direction from a falling mark when second at Haydock and could be ready to strike. Blue Hawaii is also threatening to come good soon so is the obvious threat.
