11/4
Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good, 4/1) 67 days ago, kept up to work. Bumper form gives him scope for better still and he should take all the beating in this thin race.

5/1
Gives his running more often than not and shaped like the run may have been needed when seventh back from a break at Cartmel 20 days ago. On a fair mark and drops in grade, so worthy of consideration.

Off the mark in this sphere at the second attempt in a 7-runner Fontwell juvenile in August. Failed to match that in two subsequent outings last season and hasn't been in form on the Flat lately.

Just modest form over hurdles in Ireland. Performed respectably on Flat upon joining present yard but disappointing of late in this sphere. Something to prove.

25/1
Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (25.4f, good to soft, 66/1) 18 days ago, no response. Very hard to make a case for based on what he's done this season.

9/1
Fair winning hurdler in September 2021 but hasn't fired since and returned from a lengthy absence with a tame display at Southwell 44 days ago. Hard to know if he retains any ability.

4/1
Remains a maiden and arrives on the back of a disappointing showing at Southwell, so needs cheekpieces to perk him up if he's to feature.

11/2
Poor hurdler/chaser who shaped a bit better than the result (made a late error) over the larger obstacles at Fakenham last time. Worth a market check.

Limited impact in bumpers/novice hurdles for Paul Webber and fared no better on debut for this stable 13 months ago. Unlikely to make an impact.

Forecasts

Zucayan (11/4), Gone In Sixty (4/1), Graffiti (4/1), Zamond (5/1), Pittsburg (11/2), G'day Aussie (9/1), Wee Jerry (25/1), Pepsiwithacap (66/1), Tika Moon (100/1)

Verdict

ZUCAYAN improved further to score at Ludlow a couple of months ago and he boasts a positive profile over hurdles, so he's an obvious choice in a weak race. Zamond is the obvious danger down in grade.

  1. Zucayan11/4
  2. Zamond5/1
