Notched second win over hurdles at Punchestown last spring (also successful twice in this sphere) and good second returned to fences back from a break at Fairyhouse in October. Mistakes have proved costly since, however, including both starts for this yard.

Successful over fences either side of a heavy defeat over hurdles but could hardly have been more fortunate for latter win at Ayr (favourite fell when clear and other rival weakened markedly). Struggled off same mark at Carlisle since and has been eased 3 lb.

Winner at Hexham (2m) last spring. Seen just 3 times since but was a respectable third at Wetherby 24 days ago after 4 months off and entitled to come on for that. Stamina to prove.

10/3
Bounced back to form with a bang when 12-length winner at Newcastle last month. Remains potentially well treated and capable of holding his form once finding it (consistent last term), so good chance of following up with yard going well still.

Has developed into a Sedgefield specialist over fences, winning 4 handicaps here in 2021/22. Well held here when last seen in May but returns on a winning mark. Market should reveal expectations.

Confirmed promise of previous run when winning at Market Rasen under this rider last month but 4 lb rise leaves him vulnerable.

Made a positive start for this yard after joining from Ireland, winning over hurdles in July and making a successful debut over fences in a match race at Wetherby (21f) in October. Not so good next 2 starts but given a break since.

Won a pair of 19f Catterick handicap chases last season. Runner-up a couple of times this term and in better form over hurdles than recent form figures suggest.

Forecasts

Road Warrior (10/3), Fulgurix (4/1), Mister Bells (9/2), Marshalled (11/2), Spot On Soph (11/2), Mac Suibhne (10/1), Getaway Luv (14/1), Touch Kick (22/1), Cilluirid (50/1)

Verdict

ROAD WARRIOR capitalised on his lowest mark for 2 years at Newcastle last month and remains potentially well treated up 7 lb, so he is taken to follow up with his yard still in good form. Cilluirid has an excellent record here and reappears on a winning mark, so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Fulgurix.
