Point winner who built on a pormising chase debut third when scoring easily in a small-field handicap at Ayr (2m, heavy) last month. A 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him with further improvement on the cards.
|
Dual hurdle winner who returned to finish a creditable third in 2m handicap hurdles at Wetherby and Ffos Las in recent months. Fell early on chase debut last winter. Stable has good record in this race but Brian Hughes has seemingly been let off to partner Escapeandevade.
|
Scored on chase debut at Hexham (2m) in November. Creditable third at Ayr (20.5f) and Kelso (2¾m) on his 2 completed starts since. Drops back in trip now.
|
Landed 2¾m Cartmel maiden hurdle in May 2021. Very lightly raced since but he returned from another 14 months off to go close on his 21f Sedgefield chase debut 24 days ago. Open to improvement but this much shorter trip asks a difference question.

Forecasts
Escapeandevade (5/4), One Fine Man (11/4), Captain Quint (10/3), Word Has It (7/1)
ESCAPEANDEVADE had plenty in hand at Ayr and can dominate another small-field affair. Captain Quint might be the one to follow him home.
