6/4, resumed winning ways in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 6 lb rise.

7/2
Enjoyed a highly-productive spell in chases last summer and made it 5 wins from 7 starts over fences when successful at Fontwell (21.6f) in April. Below-par fourth at Plumpton returned to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces last time so more is needed.

Good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to firm, 9/2) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Up 3 lb but he's in the mix.

C&D winner. 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 49 days ago so needs to bounce back.

Out of form when last seen out for John Gallagher, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good). Off 11 months but now back with former yard off a handy-looking mark. Interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Forecasts

Shantou Express (15/8), Scarpia (5/2), Hell Red (7/2), Butler's Brief (11/2), Polish (15/2)

Verdict

POLISH returns from an absence now back with Fergal O'Brien off a good-looking mark so could be worth chancing. Scarpia is feared most on the back of his good Huntingdon second, with Stratford scorer Shantou Express also in the mix in a trappy handicap.

  1. Polish15/2
  2. Scarpia5/2
  3. Shantou Express15/8
