5/1
Ex-French Flat/hurdle winner. Good second in Huntingdon handicap hurdle in January and entitled to do better over fences following his first crack over them here 3 weeks ago (Beaufort West in third).

13/8
Lightly-raced 2m hurdles winner. Showed plenty of ability remains on second start back over fences after long absence when a running-on third at Chepstow recently. Can progress further if all is well.

15/8
Dual hurdles winner for Colin Tizzard (including at this track). Been in the doldrums over fences although latest run here in first-time cheekpieces was a tad more promising. On a very good mark.

9/2
Good record at Plumpton (won for third time there in January). Fell short off this mark here 5 weeks ago and this is a bit tougher still back up in distance.

Forecasts

Black Gerry (13/8), Beaufort West (15/8), En Coeur (9/2), For Langy (5/1)

Verdict

BLACK GERRY is the potential improver if all is well and if he can build on his promising Chepstow run then he's sure to go close. Beaufort West lurks on a very dangerous mark (23 lb lower than when starting out for yard with a good effort at Sandown) and a revival could be on the way.

  1. Black Gerry13/8
  2. Beaufort West15/8
  3. For Langy5/1
