10/3
Three-time bumper winner and also successful twice over hurdles last season, including a C&D handicap. Has disappointed with cheekpieces added on his last 2 starts but the headgear is off on this return from a 4-month break. Could bounce back.

Well held in AW listed race on the Flat last month but had been in good form with 3 hurdle wins prior to that. Still has plenty of scope in his mark over hurdles based on his very useful Flat ability. Leading claims.

Useful at one time for Willie Mullins but offered little in 4 starts for Patrick Griffin and comfortably held in 2 outings for ths yard 6 months apart (22 lengths third over C&D latterly). Plenty to prove.

Stratford bumper winner who made if fourth time lucky over hurdles in a Sedgefield novice in May. Hasn't kicked on in handicaps since, though, fading tamely into a well-held fourth at Kelso last time.

11/4
Dual scorer on the level here in 2021 and off the mark over hurdles when taking a C&D handicap in February. Fit from Flat, respectable fifth over C&D a fortnight ago, keeping on in closing stages. Interesting with Connor O'Farrell replacing a 7 lb claimer.

Forecasts

Al Zaraqaan (9/4), Smart Lass (11/4), Socialist Agenda (10/3), Scots Poet (6/1), Nietzsche (6/1), Antey (33/1)

Verdict

Although AL ZARAQAAN is 9 lb higher than when scoring at Fakenham on his latest hurdle start there's still a good chance the handicapper has yet to get on top of him in this sphere and he's taken to go in again. Smart Lass didn't run too badly here last month and could give the selection most to think about with Conor O'Farrell replacing a 7 lb claimer.
