Course bumper winner. In excellent form at Wetherby this term, scoring twice over 19.7f. Not in same form both starts since though, only seventh of 11 over C&D before a rare poor effort last time.

Irish point winner who won 2 of his 4 starts over hurdles last season. Failed to kick on after runner-up effort on chase bow but back on track reverted to hurdling over C&D last time. Major player.

Successful on handicap hurdle debut at Haydock (18.9f) in December and solid efforts in defeat next 2 starts. Best not judged too harshly on below-par run in Imperial Cup. Back up in trip.

18/1
C&D winner. Smart hurdler/chaser in 2019/20 but has struggled for form since, showing little on his last 4 starts. Blinkers need to spark a revival.

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who doubled his tally for the campaign in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f) in January. Has remained in form since, not seen to best effect over C&D last time. Respected.

Arrives in good nick having placed on his last 3 starts, beaten only by one who has followed up since in handicap hurdle at Exeter (18.5f) 22 days ago. Can go well again back up in trip.

Useful form over hurdles last season and made positive start over fences when making all in maiden at Cartmel in May. Pulled up both starts since but interesting back over hurdles following a wind op.

Forecasts

Jay Bee Why (11/4), Dorking Boy (3/1), Up For Parol (3/1), Stormy Flight (9/2), Fugitives Drift (16/1), Valleres (16/1), Reserve Tank (18/1), Haafapiece (22/1)

Verdict

An open-looking contest with preference for JAY BEE WHY, who had shown useful form as a novice over hurdles prior to going chasing without success this campaign. However, the 7-y-o ran well back hurdling over C&D 25 days ago and he remains lightly raced. Dorking Boy finished a place behind the selection here last time and can give his running again, while Stormy Flight could find extra back up in trip having been placed on his last 3 starts.

  1. Jay Bee Why11/4
