Made a winning start in Sedgefield bumper and has shown promise when twice placed over 19f at Catterick since, taking second late on in maiden hurdle on latter occasion. Goes handicapping with more to offer at this longer trip. Interesting.

33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, returned to form from out of the blue to open his account in 15-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (22f, soft) 17 days ago. Needs to back it up now from a 5 lb higher mark.

18/1
Bumper winner who has hinted at promise in three runs over hurdles, staying-on sixth of 12 in novice at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. This longer trip should unlock some improvement so she needs considering on her first go in handicap company.

Successful in Irish points but has failed to show much in four outings over hurdles, well-held sixth on his handicap debut here (2m0 last month. This return to a longer trip needs to spark major improvement.

Maiden Irish pointer who has performed with credit in handicaps around 2m4f at Ayr and Wetherby on his last two starts. Not ruled out with his stamina drawn out more here.

Forecasts

Lock Down Luke (7/2), Five Dollar Fine (9/2), Curley Finger (11/2), Fortcanyon (6/1), Tiger Jet (6/1), Swallows Song (13/2), Shantou Moon (8/1), Pipers Cross (18/1), Bolt Man (33/1), Goodoldbill (50/1), How Much (80/1)

Verdict

A few of these offer potential, not least fairly useful bumper winner SWALLOWS SONG who promises to be well suited by this extended 2m6f trip now he steps into handicap company. Point-scorer Pipers Cross is another handicap debutante who can take a step forward now her stamina is drawn out more and she rates the chief threat to Iain Jardine's Kayf Tara gelding. Lock Down Luke completes the shortlist in an intriguing handicap.
