4/1

Bagged 2 handicap chases at Worcester and Kelso last autumn. Showed nothing after 6 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ayr but step back in the right direction back over fences when fifth at Hexham. This return to further will suit.

4/1

Winning pointer but form in a trio of novice hurdles in 2020/21 was only modest. Did at least offer something to work on when fifth on chase debut at Perth after 15 months off.

Form: 25356/5

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 101

4/1

Made it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Carlisle 6 weeks ago, albeit suited by the way things went with the leaders going off too quickly. Still must be respected in current mood.

Forecasts

Exit To Where (13/8), Brotherly Company (11/4), Flamboyant Joyaux (4/1), Ashjan (4/1), Passnotalegend (4/1), Canelo (13/2), Doktor Glaz (9/1)

EXIT TO WHERE was beaten by only an unexposed Irish raider at Ayr last time and is clearly back on a mark he can exploit. Last-time-out winners Brotherly Company and Ashjan are the obvious threats.
