5/6
Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat and left previous hurdling efforts behind when running out a comfortable winner at this track a month ago. Should follow up if he gets the longer trip.

Took a step back in right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Ludlow in December but not in same form since. Back over hurdles but others are more persuasive.

Bumper winner who has shaped with encouragement over hurdles. Bit disappointing at Bangor last time but returns from a break in cheekpieces with his stable going well.

Offered very little in 5 starts thus far, latest latest in a handicap at Worcester 3 weeks ago, and is hard to recommend.

Made an encouraging start to her career when second at Fontwell in September. More miss than hit since but this step up in trip could help.

Unreliable type who was pulled up at this course last time. Hard to make a solid case for.

Lightly raced and has shaped better than the result on his last 2 starts, tiring after making a big move into contention at Newton Abbot last time. Considered.

Little impact over hurdles so far and looks up against it once more.

Forecasts

He's A Latchico (5/6), Miss Fedora (11/2), Walk In The Storm (6/1), Testflight (13/2), Bolberry Down (11/1), Guguss Collonges (14/1), Solid Fuel (33/1), Luminaries (33/1)

Verdict

HE'S A LATCHICO opened his account over hurdles last time and his Flat form would suggest that he's still well treated, so he gets the nod ahead of Walk In The Storm, who is back from a break and represents an in-form yard. Testflight is also of interest.
