Made it 2-2 over hurdles in 13-runner novice (17/2) at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Good form claims despite conceding weight all round.

Kayf Tara gelding. Closely related to useful hurdler Baltimore Bucko. Showed promise both hurdling starts to end 2022 but he could be one for the longer term in handicaps.

Showed a bit more than previously in a first-time hood in a novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f) 52 days ago. Still, he'll be of more interest in low-grade handicaps.

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and being brought along steadily in this sphere, seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 26 days ago. Can build on that effort now.

Runner-up in Irish point and made all in taking fashion on hurdles bow at Hereford in November. Pulled up before last having made most in Challow Hurdle at Newbury 23 days ago but she has to be taken seriously back in much calmer waters here.

Poor hurdler. First run since leaving Ross O'Sullivan when eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, 150/1) 34 days ago. Lots more is needed.

Forecasts

Vicki Vale (8/15), Endless Escape (5/2), Thunderclap (7/1), Madaket (9/1), King Of Brazil (33/1), Lelant (50/1), Ito Ditto (66/1), State Of Honor (80/1), Western Baron (125/1), Modern Monarch (150/1), Pencil (150/1), Nordy Lordy (150/1), Coal Fire (200/1), Twp Stori (250/1), Mix Master (250/1)

Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Dan Skelton's VICKI VALE is taken to edge out form-rival Endless Escape now she has her sights lowered having found Newbury's Challow Hurdle a step too far last time out. Ben Clarke's mare is still much respected though in her hat-trick bid with Thunderclap appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
