Ended a long losing over hurdles here last summer. 0-11 over fences but he may have needed a recent comeback run at Plumpton. Has headgear combined for first time. Might be worth one final chance.

Showed promise when placed on 2 of his 3 starts in novice hurdles. Yet to translate that to fences in 2 attempts but it's clearly still early days for this close relation of Chantry House. Has first-time cheekpieces added to tongue strap.

In good form in handicap hurdles this spring, finishing third of 14 when stepped up to 23f at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Leaves impression this further step up in distance will suit now chasing. Big player if taking to it.

Losing run is mounting up but mark has eased plenty and she was in decent form when last seen towards the end of 2021. Should figure if ready to roll after a break.

Has hinted at ability in bumper/over hurdles and offered something to work on when 8 lengths fifth of 10 in 2½m Worcester handicap on last month's chase debut. Up significantly in trip.

Finally stopped the slide when 5 lengths second over 3m at Exeter 27 days ago. Is 5 lb out of the handicap on this occasion, though.

Little form of worth so far, beaten 18 lengths into sixth (Getaway Mission 10 lengths ahead in fifth) on recent 2½m Worcester chase debut. 10 lb out of handicap.

Point winner. Yet to better poor form under Rules but 2 placed efforts last winter were a bit more encouraging. Long way out of handicap on return to action so can only be watched this time.

Forecasts

Wetanwindy (10/3), My Lady Grey (9/2), Getaway Mission (9/2), Millbank Flyer (6/1), Aye Aye Charlie (7/1), Baily Gorse (15/2), Shanroe Smooch (14/1), King Of The Story (16/1)

Verdict

This is the first time that AYE AYE CHARLIE has contested a Class 5 handicap so he might be worth one final opportunity to come good over fences, particularly as the new headgear combination could give him a bit extra. Wetanwindy has been in good form over hurdles and will be a major threat if taking to fences, while Millbank Flyer still retains some potential as a chaser.
