Eleven runs since last win in 2021 and has been folding worrying tamely in handicaps recently, though this is a much weaker race than he normally contests so no surprise to see him make more of an impact.

Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler No Hiding Place. Unplaced both completed starts in Irish points. Doesn't make much appeal on Rules debut.

Form of his 100/1-second at Chepstow in April very much rates a standout amongst an otherwise underwhelming profile. Pulled up on handicap debut there on return.

From a top family but went with little promise on debut for Jessica Bedi last month and looks opposable having been sold cheaply. Tongue tie goes on.

Winless over hurdles since 2019 but ran well when runner-up at Worcester this summer. Lost chance with bad mistake on latest hurdles start but looks the one to beat on peak form.

38-race maiden was grossly flattered by his proximity to the exciting Lallygag when second in 3-runner novice at Exeter last time. More needed.

Second at Fakenham on most recent completed hurdles start (fell when odds-on in similar selling event next outing). Showed nothing on Flat returning from 11-month break last time but still of interest in this company on last year's form.

Runner-up in selling handicap at Newton Abbot in September but ran poorly last time and others looks much better treated on these terms.

Still a maiden and little impact in 5 runs for this yard. No better for breathing-op at Worcester last time. Cheekpieces now applied.

Forecasts

True Romance (5/6), Iron Heart (10/3), Vision Clear (9/1), Yaazaain (10/1), Vanderbilt (10/1), Offaly Star (20/1), Lord Bill (25/1), Octavius Sabini (28/1), No Reaction (66/1), Bert Saxby (80/1)

Verdict

TRUE ROMANCE wasn't completely disgraced on the Flat last time and sets the standard back over obstacles in a thin seller. Iron Heart and Vision Clear look the biggest threats.
