racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle

Point winner who has looked a longer-term prospect in 4 starts to date, always behind when seventh of 16 in maiden hurdle at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) last time. Steps up in trip on handicap debut and is worth a second look in the market, especially with his yard showing slightly better signs.

Maiden Irish pointer who showed improved form when making all in a novice handicap at Kelso (22.7f) in December. Even better form in defeat both starts over C&D since and still appeals as being on a good mark.

One-time useful chaser but very much on the downgrade these days and he hasn't shown anything in 5 starts for present yard.

Ended last season with back-to-back wins and further progress when placed both starts this term, including in big-field event over C&D last time. Returns from a break and highly likely to go well again with Sean Bowen now taking over in the saddle.

Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in late 2021 but has shown little all 3 starts this season. Plenty to prove in first-time cheekpieces.

Chepstow winner in November 2020 but has shown nothing both starts back from a long absence.

Remains a maiden after 25 runs but he's going through a good spell at present and should continue in form.

Veteran who continues to ease in the weights without showing any real sign of taking advantage.

Long-standing maiden who has lost her way since the turn of the year. Others more appealing.
