Dual hurdles winner. Achieved better form in defeat over fences, mistakes probably costing him victory on a few of occasions. Likely to be tuned up for this return, so merits respect.
|
Possible a hard-fought win on handicap hurdle debut at Aintree last December left a mark as he was pulled up on both subsequent starts last winter. Makes chase debut after 9 months off. Still plenty of time for him to get his career back on track.
|
Dual 2m4f novice hurdle winner last winter. Well held in 3m Aintree Grade 1 novice on his final start but he retains potential now chasing for a stable enjoying a good season.
|
Promising over hurdles last term, winning here in January and getting back on track when third in a strong race at Sandown on his final outing. Type to make a better chaser and is worth chancing to make a winning return.
|
Resumed progress in first-time blinkers (left off here) when making pretty much every yard of the running over 17.8f at Fontwell (good) last time. Off 175 since but 5 lb rise fair enough and may do better still.
|
Progressive over hurdles last season, recording his third win at Wincanton (21.4f, good) in April. Solid start to chasing when fifth in a handicap here recently and drop in trip might suit. Open to improvement.
|
Improved model for this yard, bagging pair of novice hurdle victories last summer and opening account over fences from 7 lb lower mark at Exeter (19.2f) in April. Sub-standard efforts both starts this season and stable isn't firing.
|
Suited by the step up in trip when scoring with something to spare at Lingfield (19.5f) in January. Failed to repeat that form on next two starts and fell 3 out (too far out to suggest outcome) at Chepstow on chasing debut. Not discounted.
|
Fairly useful ex-Irish bumper winner who made a winning handicap debut over hurdles at Plumpton in December before scoring at Ffos Las in April. Pulled up there next time but retains potential switched to chasing after 6 months off.

Forecasts
Dubrovnik Harry (7/4), Bowtogreatness (5/1), Triple Trade (7/1), Black Gerry (8/1), Neon Moon (17/2), Gustavian (10/1), Tamar Bridge (11/1), Full Of Light (14/1), Wicked West (20/1)
DUBROVNIK HARRY showed plenty over hurdles last season and appeals as the sort to do better over the larger obstacles, so he's preferred to Neon Moon, who arrives on the back of an encouraging chasing/seasonal debut at this course. Black Gerry also merits consideration in an open race.
- Neon Moon17/2
- Black Gerry8/1
