Fair hurdler/staying chaser yet to win over jumps and prone to mistakes. Finished respectable second of 6 in handicap chase on back of 5 months off at Huntingdon (23.6f, good) 19 days ago and he may well sharpen up for that here.
|
Responded well to cheekpieces when off the mark in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.3f) in February. Hit hard by the assessor and may have paid price for racing clear with one from an early stage over C&D in April. Not out of things on return.
|
Eased in weights and confirmed more positive signs to end losing run at Worcester (23f) 17 days ago. Remains with handicapping scope on his old form and he's worth a second look with a repeat.
|
Had been struggling for form over hurdles but stopped the slide with a trio of in-the-frame efforts over fences, 4¼ lengths third of 9 to Boagrius at Worcester (23f) 17 days ago. Can give another good account in this groove.
|
Fair form over fences in France in 2020 and twice runner-up over hurdles for Ed de Giles last year. Not been at best in 2 chase tries 7 months apart for this yard but possible he'll come on for his return 20 days ago.
|
Bumper winner on debut back in spring 2019 who is winless over hurdles and failed to complete on chasing/bow following lengthy absence at Worcester (23f) 17 days ago. Midfield back over hurdles at that venue on Wednesday but not the easiest to weigh up now. Blinkers go on.
|
Landed back-to-back 2m course handicap contests 8 months apart in 2020. Encouraging return over C&D last winter and whilst he couldn't build on that thereafter, fresh could be the time to catch him from a much-reduced mark.
|
Left hurdles form behind when making all for a narrow success over 22.6f at Stratford in June. Not in anything like the same form in 2 starts at that venue subsequently and bounce back called for.
|
Poor maiden but he wasn't disgraced equipped with first-time cheekpieces when fourth in a C&D handicap hurdle earlier this month. Still, probably best to look elsewhere now attentions are switched to chasing.
|
Small step forward when third of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (23.6f) in March but failed to meet expectations at Exeter (3m) the following month. Operating from 5 lb out of the weights on return.

Forecasts
Jean Genie (5/2), Faitque De L'Isle (5/1), Mouseinthehouse (13/2), Mr Katanga (7/1), King Orry (9/1), Boagrius (11/1), Cubao (11/1), Corrany (12/1), Meechlands Magic (14/1), Ahead Of Schedule (28/1)
This looks wide open and it could pay to side with MR KATANGA. Successful at Chepstow in February, he was seemingly undone by racing clear from an early stage over C&D in April and could be worth chancing to come out on top on return. Jean Genie and Boagrius are others to consider.
- Mr Katanga7/1
- Jean Genie5/2
