Revitalised in recent months, winning 2m handicaps at Taunton and Wincanton. Shaped as if still in form last time and shouldn't be discounted.

Likely to have been placed had he not fallen at Chepstow on first start for this stable but seemed to find this test inadequate at Uttoxeter since.

Just modest in bumpers and signs of promise over hurdles. Seems a likely improver having his first try in a handicap.

Fair 10f Flat winner for Rod Millman this autumn. Changed hands for 17,000 gns and, while he's not shown that much over hurdles so far, he could improve for a switch to handicaps.

Caused a 40/1 surprise off a career-low mark when scoring over fences at Worcester (16.5f) last July. Creditable third at Southwell when last seen 8 months ago but hard to know if he'll be tuned up returning over hurdles.

Modest on Flat and similar level of form in handicaps over hurdles. Ran well back on the level recently and shouldn't be dismissed.

Fairly useful on the Flat (stays 1¼m) for Andrew Balding. Yet to offer a great deal of encouragement over hurdles, though.

Modest at best on the Flat and, while he showed something in juvenile hurdles last season, his recent efforts have been uninspiring.

Sub-par effort on reappearance and others make more appeal.

33/1
Fair ex-Irish 11f Flat winner. Hasn't shown much in a handful of runs over hurdles, though, and not seen since poor effort on the level 15 months ago. Best watched unless the market hints otherwise.

Fair form when second in a Huntingdon bumper in May but has failed to back that up since and looks up against it again from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Pride Of Hawridge (13/8), Ingennio (4/1), Mutual Respect (11/2), Boundsy Boy (6/1), Force De Frap (15/2), Dance At Night (11/1), Girandole (18/1), Trudiemadlydeeply (25/1), Simply True (33/1), Chronos (50/1), Robin Des Mana (66/1), Solid Fuel (150/1)

Verdict

PRIDE OF HAWRIDGE hasn't set the world alight over hurdles to date but a mark of 96 looks potentially lenient based on his Flat efforts, so he's preferred to fellow handicap debutant Ingennio. Force de Frap also merits consideration.
