Left previous form trailing in his wake when making a winning handicap debut in ready fashion at Ayr last month. 7 lb rise looks fair enough and possibilities with capable apprentice Dylan Johnston again in the hot-seat.

5/2
Shaped encouragingly when runner-up in a Carlisle bumper on Rules debut and did the same sent hurdling when fourth at Aintree. However, has failed to build on that since and pulled up on recent handicap bow at Sandown. Now tried in cheekpieces.

Steady progress in a trio of Irish bumpers for previous connections and went close on hurdles debut/first run for Rebecca Menzies at Wetherby in October. Has failed to build on that since, though, and needs to raise his game starting out for another new yard here.

Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland but has proved rather hit-and-miss since switched to hurdles, safely held upped to 25.3f at Catterick last time.

Point winner who hasn't made much of an impact in a trio of maiden hurdles to date, and sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap.

Forecasts

White Rhino (1/1), Snowy Evening (5/2), Shir I Dont Know (11/4), Ballyporeen (4/1), Sanosuke (4/1), Lights Are Green (11/2), Bella Union (6/1)

Verdict

It's hard to look beyond WHITE RHINO, who completed the hat-trick at Southwell on Monday and there could be even better to come from this unexposed 7-y-o. Shir I Dont Know did the job well when opening his account at Ayr and merits respect, but Irish-raider Bella Union, who shaped better than the bare result at Fairyhouse last time, could be the one to follow the selection home.
