2/5

Has plenty of scope and ran to a fair level first time up when third in 12-runner Ascot bumper (15.7f) in October, keeping on inside final 1f. Improved a little on that form when runner-up at Hereford 5 months later and of strong interest on hurdle debut.

Fair form in bumpers and has shown a similar level of form over hurdles, including after 14 months off when second in Catterick maiden (15.7f) in March 2021. Not seen since but sets the clear standard.

Forecasts

Soldierofthestorm (2/5), Designer Destiny (9/2), Jet Of Dreams (6/1), Indelible Spin (20/1), Specialagent Mcgee (20/1), Jimmy Boum (25/1), Allez Allez Dancer (33/1), Rockette (50/1), Look Out To Sea (150/1)

A likely match between SOLDIEROFTHESTORM and Designer Destiny. The former has shown plenty in a brace of bumpers 5 months apart and has the scope to do well over jumps, so he's narrowly preferred to the latter, who has a long absence to overcome.
