Fairly useful winning hurdler in Ireland. Offered little on chase debut when last seen but could be a profitable acquisition for new connections.

Progressed well last season, winning 19.7f Wetherby handicap hurdle and second all other starts, finishing with running left in deeper event at Kelso when last seen in March. Interesting chasing prospect.

Took advantage of the favourite's underperformance to get off the mark in 23f Bangor maiden when last seen in April. Chasing could be the making of him and he's one to consider on return.

Ran well twice in the North last month but held from out of the weights at Wetherby last time and this looks tough also. Others preferred.

Couple of good runs in handicap hurdles at the turn of the year but dropped away on chase debut and out of sorts since, failing to complete over hurdles last 2 starts 4 months apart. Market move would be interesting.

Fair handicap hurdler/chaser (successful at Hexham in May 2021). Not seen since March and returns in a competitive heat, though has a promising conditional up.

Had a long time off but enjoyed a fine campaign here last season, winning handicaps over C&D and further (3-runner affair). No surprise to see him go well again on return.

Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who was looking one to avoid when last seen, well beaten here in April.

Off the mark over fences at Hexham over this trip in April under this rider and shaped well back there next time. Up in class on return but couldn't be dismissed.

Forecasts

Son Of The Somme (5/2), Dedanser (5/2), Sputnik (5/1), Destiny Is All (5/1), Excelcior (14/1), Kalaharry (18/1), Sword Of Fate (22/1), Don't Tell Allen (33/1), Castlegrange (40/1)

Verdict

A competitive heat with the two chasing debutants DEDANSER and Son of The Somme making plenty of appeal. Dedanser has few miles on the clock and is bred to come into his own over the larger obstacles so gets the vote. Destiny Is All was a consistent regular here over fences last season and is respected on his return.

  1. Dedanser5/2
