Strong at the finish when landing a maiden hurdle at Ludlow over 21.3f in January. Low-key handicap debut at Sandown 10 weeks ago but looks well worth a crack at 3m.

3/1
Fairly useful bumper winner for Chris Gordon who has found just one too strong on each of his 3 completed starts over hurdles, latest on handicap debut at this track just over 3 weeks ago. Every chance he can go one better here.

Placed over hurdles/on the Flat in Ireland for Jessica Harrington last year but showed nothing in 3 starts for new connections so can only be watched.

9/2
Scored on handicap debut at Hereford last spring and doubled his tally at Newbury (24.2f, soft) last month, seeming to relish the emphasis on stamina back up in trip. Up 6 lb for that success but every chance he will be in the mix again.

7/1
Point winner who made a successful hurdles debut at Uttoxeter in November 2020. Has only had the 4 starts since, but showed he retains ability when runner-up in handicap at Huntingdon (25f) on Boxing Day. Task is now to build on that effort.

Off the mark second time up over hurdles in maiden at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to firm) back in July 2021 but not seen since. This outing likely to prove informative as to what ability remains now handicapping.

Fairly useful bumper/hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott in 2020 but has struggled badly in recent times, making no impression on both outings for his new yard. Can only be watched.

Has been rather underwhelming in his 2 handicaps to date, fifth of 13 (9/2) at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) 34 days ago. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces working the oracle.

Lightly raced since twice successful at Uttoxeter in 2019 and has offered little on both starts in recent months after 18 months off.

25/1
Point winner who offered little over fences but did go with a bit more purpose back over hurdles in a first-time visor at Fakenham (23.4f, good to soft) 3 months ago. Others look stronger, however.

Forecasts

Egbert (11/4), Hardy Fella (3/1), Ballycamus (9/2), Rockinastorm (6/1), What About Time (7/1), Your Band (9/1), Another Mystery (25/1), Oscars Fame (40/1), Guiri (40/1), Jimmy Jimmy (150/1)

Verdict

A few in with a shout but the vote goes to HARDY FELLA, who was unable to live with Norley (easy winner again over fences since) on handicap debut at this track just over 3 weeks ago but looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account over hurdles. Ballycamus won well at Newbury last month so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Egbert, who may well relish this step up to 3m.
