5/6

Ended his time in Ireland with 2m Tramore maiden hurdle win in July 2021. Off the mark for present yard back from a break on recent chase debut at Fontwell (17.8f, soft) and needs considering returned to hurdles off just a 2 lb higher mark.

2/1

Opened his account at the third attempt in bumpers here last spring and followed up on C&D hurdles debut (heavy) on return in November. Nothing wrong with latest third in an Ayr novice (less headstrong than he was at Catterick previously) and major claims back here on handicap bow.

Form: 321-133

Benito⁷⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 98

15/2

Doubled tally over hurdles at Cartmel (2¾m) last summer prior to finishing runner-up next 2 starts. Needs to bounce back following a couple of poor efforts, though, and whether this drop back in trip will be what he wants remains to be seen.

11/1

Successful twice for James Ewart in summer of 2021 but he's yet to fully fire in 5 runs for his current yard this term.

Forecasts

Wewillgowithplanb (5/6), Bingoo (2/1), Benito (15/2), For Three (11/1)

BINGOO made it 2-2 here when landing a C&D novice on his seasonal reappearance and, on the back of a solid effort in defeat at Ayr last month, the 7-y-o is taken to mainatin his 100% record at this course now handicapping off whart appeals as a fair mark. Benito and For Three both have questions to answer at present, which leaves Wewillgowithplanb as the main danger. He did the job well on his recent chase debut and looks a big threat back in this sphere off just a 2 lb higher mark.
