Much improved switched to handicaps in this sphere, finishing runner-up for the fourth time in a row at Carlisle in February. Off since but just about sets the standard back in maiden company.

Placed on the third of his 3 starts between the flags last year and made second bumper run a winning one at Kelso in April. Still didn't look the finished article that day and this trip promises to suit switched to obstacles.

Forecasts

Basford (5/6), Lune De La Mer (7/4), St Patricks Bridge (4/1), Ismael (13/2), Deadlock (28/1)

Verdict

LUNE DE LA MER defied greenness when landing a bumper at Kelso a month ago, and with this trip expected to suit now hurdling, he can continue the good work. Basford and St Patricks Bridge are the obvious threats.
