Useful hurdler who chased home Edwardstone on chase debut back in November. Mixed bag since but looked set to get back on track when falling 2 out at Southwell 25 days ago (race at his mercy). Expected to make a bold bid.
|
Progressive Irish hurdler who is built for chasing and was in process of running well when unseating first 2 starts over fences. However, he's been some way below best both starts since, latterly when last of 3 at Huntingdon. Visor goes on now.
|
Successful twice during 2020/21 campaign but not been operating at best despite a sliding mark this year, fifth of 7 over timber at Wincanton (21.3f) 3 weeks ago. Still, not entirely ruled out now chasing with tongue tie added to blinkers.
|
Twice went agonisingly close in 2m handicaps at Warwick/Southwell this time last year. Form tailed off thereafter but he boasts a solid record fresh and no surprise to see a better effort on return despite operating from out of the weights.

Forecasts
Stepney Causeway (1/1), Ecco (5/2), Statuario (4/1), Barnaviddaun (17/2)
STEPNEY CAUSEWAY was all set to get back on track and had the race at his mercy when coming to grief 2 out at Southwell recently and he can defy a 7 lb higher mark and gain deserved compensation. The time to catch Statuario could well be fresh and he may pose the chief threat.
