5/4
Fairly useful bumper winner made a successful transition to hurdles at Huntingdon last January. Chased home a progressive Irish raider on return at Wincanton last time and he appeals as the type to improve further over this longer trip.

13/2
Bumper winner who made a bright start to his hurdle career in the spring, winning 3 maiden/novices. Possibly unsuited by softer ground when a remote third on his handicap debut on his return at Hereford a couple of months ago.

Looked useful prospect when winning 2½m maiden/novice hurdles at Uttoxeter in July/September 2021. Absent since, so market may act as best guide towards expectations on return.

7/4
Showed ability in a hot maiden hurdle at Chepstow on Rules debut and made the most of a good opportunity at Uttoxeter next time. Ran at least as well in defeat under penalty at Leicester last time and enters handicaps from a workable-looking mark.

Bumper/hurdles winner in France in 2021 but has truggled on both outings in the UK for this yard and is hard to fancy on that evidence.

Successful at Southwell in May but form has dipped since, finishing in his own time when second of 7 in selling hurdle at Leicester (20.5f) 32 days ago. Others appeal more.

Forecasts

Shallow River (5/4), Clonakilty (7/4), Fountains Chief (13/2), Marajman (12/1), Doctor Dex (12/1), Clay Rogers (18/1), Heros (18/1), Benny's Oscar (20/1)

Verdict

SHALLOW RIVER bumped into a progressive rival at Wincanton last time and Fergal O'Brien's seven-year-old is given another chance to progress here. The unexposed handicap debutant Clonakilty appeals as the main danger, with Fountains Chief best of the remainder.
