11/10
Southwell debut bumper winner who bounced back from a disappointing effort when landing 10-runner maiden at this course (16.3f) 40 days ago, dictating and asserting final 1f. Ought to go well again back up in trip.

Successful both starts in bumpers and progressed to make second hurdle start a winning one over C&D in December. Easy to back and came up short up in grade at Cheltenham, but he's the one to beat now returned to calmer waters after a break.

Hinted at promise in bumpers and is going the right way over hurdles, improving on debut form when fourth over C&D 4 weeks ago. Needs further progress but that's possible.

Tongue tied but consistent rather than progressive in bumpers. Bred to do better over hurdles and ran to a fair level first time up when second in 5-runner novice at Huntingdon last month. More needed, though.

Forecasts

Pull Again Green (1/1), Kincardine (11/10), Blue Stello (2/1), Rebel Intentions (16/1), Parisienne Gold (28/1)

Verdict

PULL AGAIN GREEN came up short up in grade at Cheltenham when last seen on New Year's Day, but this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. The Nicky Henderson-trained Kincardine is clearly the main threat.
