Scored on good ground at Uttoxeter last spring and arrives on back of creditable fourth in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, heavy) 28 days ago. Likely contender.

Belatedly off the mark when taking 16-runner novice hurdle (11/4) at Punchestown (16.2f, good) 12 months ago. Not seen since, though, and market should prove best guide to claims on return/yard debut.

Won sole start in France but showed nothing in 2 starts for this yard, pulled up when last seen at Taunton in December. Plenty to prove.

Made hard work of adding another small-field success to his tally in a Taunton seller in November 2021 and back from long absence when well held on Flat 9 days ago. Others more appealing.

Opened his hurdles account over C&D last June and wasn't disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap here (20f) in February. However, refused to race at Fontwell latest and tried in cheekpieces now.

5/4
Dual bumper scorer who made a winning hurdling debut in straightforward style at Worcester (2m) in October. Not at same level since but step in trip looks a good move and must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Letterston Lady (5/4), Watergrange Jack (11/4), Whatsupwithyou (11/4), Stony Man (12/1), Celestial Force (14/1), Showbusiness (16/1), Invictus Smart (33/1)

Verdict

WHATSUPWITHYOU has been in good form this year and looks the safest option in a tricky-looking contest. Letterston Lady and Showbusiness are feared most.
