11/8

Signed off last term with hurdles win and better form switched to fences, runner-up twice before completing a simple task at Chepstow in January. Blinkers now tried having stopped quickly last time.

8/13

Useful winning hurdler who flopped on handicap debut but got back on track under forceful ride when third at Wetherby last time, paying price for trying to keep tabs on winner. Obvious claims.

Forecasts

Champagnesuperover (8/13), Ask A Honey Bee (11/8), Upton Road (5/1)

All 3 in with a shout but the vote goes to CHAMPAGNESUPEROVER, who quickly got back on track under a forceful ride when fourth at Wetherby 3 weeks ago and this represents a good opportunity for Olly Murphy's charge to open his account over the larger obstacles. Ask A Honey Bee stopped quickly last time but he can get back on track here sporting first-time blinkers.
