15/2

Won on second hurdles start in 2019/20 but struggled for form until final 2 outings following season. After 8 months off, possibly needed run both starts at end of 2021. Tongue tie on after further 4 months off (had wind op). Respected off decent mark.

An open-looking contest with preference for OLYMPIC HONOUR, who could step up on his recent run and is now 1 lb below his last winning mark. The 6-y-o had been off for 6 months prior to his Chepstow outing 33 days ago so could make more of an impact this time. Rootless Tree is another who is well handicapped on old form, while Simply Red remains unexposed as she makes her stable debut for Donald McCain.
