Maiden under Rules (mostly in France) but he did win a point in late-2021 and he made a sound start for this trainer when second in 17f Bangor handicap 3 weeks ago. Good shout if able to build on that.

Still winless but he couldn't have gone much closer at Wincanton when last seen in March. Contender if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Lost his way over hurdles last season and he hasn't fared much better since switching to fences. A 138-day break needs to have had a reviving effect.

Runner-up in bumper and maiden hurdle last autumn but he hasn't really built on that since, including not jumping with much fluency when last of 3 finishers at Fontwell on his chase debut/reappearance 18 days ago.

Bounced back to score at Stratford in August but has underlined his inconsistency with lacklustre efforts on his 3 outings since.

Belatedly opened Rules account when landing a 2m Huntingdon handicap chase in June. Placed on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts and entitled to respect despite being 2 lb out of the handicap.

Poor maiden hurdler. Better effort over fences when third of 5 in 2m Wincanton handicap in first-time cheekpieces/tongue tie combination (retained) when last seen in April. 6 lb out of the handicap on his return to action.

Forecasts

Majestic Merlin (9/4), Braveheart (5/2), Blueberg (10/3), Begoodtoyourself (8/1), Evron (17/2), Gaelic Thunder (16/1), The Garrison (20/1)

Verdict

EVRON is given a chance to build on a decent first outing for the Matt Sheppard yard at Bangor last month. If Majestic Merlin is primed for his reappearance then he could be the one to give the selection most to think about ahead of Begoodtoyourself.

  1. Evron17/2
  2. Majestic Merlin9/4
  3. Begoodtoyourself8/1
