Capitalised on a falling mark to win 4-runner handicap at Stratford in July. Respectable third there 11 days later. Given a break since.

Won a 3m Southwell handicap last winter and runner-up on next 2 outings. Run of good form came to a halt when well-held fifth at Worcester in May but capable of bouncing back after a break.

Bumper winner in 2019 and finally off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in September. Creditable third of 8 at Fontwell since. Likely to be in the mix again.

Second career success when landing a big-field handicap at Taunton (3m) when last seen in March. Claims if returning from an 8-month lay-off in similar form.

Has shown a fair level of ability over hurdles but weak finishes on his last 2 outings raise a few doubts. Cheekpieces go on for the first time now.

Maiden in Ireland but it didn't take her long to come good for new yard, winning a Uttoxeter handicap and Cartmel novice in midsummer. Not at her best in 2 outings this autumn, though.

Landed back-to-back handicaps in the spring and also successful here last month. Even better form when runner-up over C&D 15 days ago. Another bold show likely.

28/1
Bumper winner on debut back in spring 2019 but has struggled over hurdles/fences, producing a laboured effort in a Ffos Las chase latest. First-time tongue tie and refitted cheekpieces combination needs to make a big difference.

9/4
Has been unable to kick on from an eye-catching hurdling debut, polling up in 2 outings at the start of the season and well beaten back from a break last month. Has come down a long way in the weights as a result but needs first-time cheekpieces to spark a revival.

Forecasts

Braganza Bay (9/4), Pottlerath (11/4), Colonel Manderson (4/1), Paris Dixie (5/1), My Last Oscar (6/1), Cubao (28/1), Bright Sunbird (40/1), The Bold Thady (50/1), Ennistown (50/1)

Verdict

POTTLERATH has been in good form at this venue in recent weeks and might be up to landing another win. Paris Dixie is another who arrives in good nick and is feared most ahead of the reappearing My Last Oscar.
