Fairly useful Flat winner for Alice Haynes. Only modest form when fourth in maiden/novice hurdles on first 2 outings for this yard and beaten when falling 4 out on Wincanton handicap debut in January. Improvement needed back from a break.

Improved effort for his top yard when second of 10 on 2m Ludlow handicap debut 10 days ago. Obvious chance off the same mark.

Fairly useful winner at 7f on Flat in Ireland. Better effort in maiden hurdles for leading new stable when fourth of 9 at Worcester 16 days ago. Potential for better again now making a quick switch to handicaps. Respected.

First past the post in 21.5f Wincanton handicap in March but demoted for hanging left and hampering the runner-up. Respectable fifth of 14 at Taunton (2m) last month. Probably vulnerable to some of the less-exposed sorts in this line-up.

Came good for new yard when 21-length winner of 2m Newton Abbot handicap last month and scored in equally emphatic fashion on the Flat at Bath 13 days later. 13 lb higher than at Newton Abbot but this thriving sort could still make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Fair maiden on the Flat. Stepped up on initial efforts over hurdles when third on handicap debut in this sphere at Wincanton (2m, good to soft) in November but well below that level in 2 outings in February. Freshened up since. First-time cheekpieces replace the visor worn last time.

Little encouragement in bumpers/novice hurdles. More chance now handicapping from a basement mark but still hard to make a case for. Tongue tied first time.

Forecasts

Pak Army (2/1), Him Malaya (5/2), Allihies (9/2), Escobedo (13/2), Noble Savage (13/2), Afta Party (16/1), Russies Dream (28/1)

Verdict

The Paul Nicholls-trained HIM MALAYA took a step forward when runner-up on his recent Ludlow handicap debut and is taken to build on that and open his account now. Dan Skelton handicap newcomer Allihies and Pak Army, who has found a new lease of life since refitted with blinkers, are the obvious dangers.

  1. Him Malaya5/2
  2. Allihies9/2
  3. Pak Army2/1
