Runner-up in a bumper at Carlisle a year ago. Minor promise only in his qualifying runs but now goes handicapping up in trip for a respected yard. Not ruled out.

3/1
Bumper winner who has proved only modest over hurdles but respectable efforts the last twice and seems likely to be on the premises down in trip.

Poor form shown thus far and only tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f, good) 142 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

9/4, much improved when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Up 5 lb but has more to offer and another bold show is on the cards.

10/1
Dual Flat winner who ran well when placed in handicaps at Carlisle/Hexham on first 2 starts of present campaign. However, not so good since (including on the level recently), so needs to bounce back.

Veteran who bagged pair of small-field events on AW Flat early last year. Modest form belatedly returned to hurdles, creditable fifth of 16 in handicap at Huntingdon (19.6f) 65 days ago. Enters calculations off a 3 lb lower mark here though.

Poor maiden who has been pulled up at Hexham and Catterick last two starts. Needs to leave that form behind now fitted with tongue tie.

Forecasts

Imperial Alex (7/4), Blazing Port (3/1), Eden Mill (5/1), Lopes Dancer (17/2), Strike Of Lighting (10/1), Monticello (10/1), Coniston Clouds (11/1), Noble Affair (80/1)

Verdict

IMPERIAL ALEX took a big step forward when getting off the mark at Warwick and a 5 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Veteran Lopes Dancer is weighted to have a say and next on the list ahead of the consistent Blazing Port.

  1. Imperial Alex7/4
  2. Lopes Dancer17/2
  3. Blazing Port3/1
