Remains a maiden after 19 runs but she posted a respectable second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 20 days ago. Place claims once more.

Fair bumper winner but he's struggled to match that form consistently over hurdles, off the track since beating only one at Warwick in May. Needs to hit the ground running.

Dual chase winner around 3m last November who continued in good nick in the spring. Has gone well fresh so he's very much one to consider back hurdling off a handy-looking mark.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Reed| T: J S Goldie| OR:  97| CD
Likeable sort who gamely bagged a sixth C&D win in 6-runner handicap hurdle 17 days ago. Up 3 lb but seems sure to be on the premises once more.

Age: 5|  Weight: 11-2| J: E Walsh(3)| T: Ciaran Murphy| OR:  93
Unreliable individual. Fair sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft) 63 days ago. Difficult ask at these weights on what he's shown. Engaged 5.12 here Wednesday.

The Longest Dayp,t40
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-13| J: Roisin Leech(7)| T: Mrs S Leech| OR:  90| CD
Isn't straightforward but he finally shed his maiden tag over C&D and followed it up back here 40 days ago. Much respected in his hat-trick bid despite a 5 lb rise.

Sea Princep22
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-11| J: D R Fox| T: L Kerr| OR:  88
Has failed to complete on both his starts over fences, though he was running with credit when falling at the last at Hexham (15.6f, good) 22 days ago on his final run for Mike Smith. Not discounted back in this sphere for his new yard.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Miss L Harrison| OR:  74
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Off 10 months before fading fourth of 6 to Pammi in handicap over C&D 17 days ago. Needs to build on it from 5 lb out of the handicap though.

Forecasts

The Longest Day (11/4), Tango Theatre (7/2), Pammi (9/2), Aazza (15/2), Return Fire (15/2), Imperial B G (15/2), Sea Prince (12/1), Ivane (20/1), Solway Primrose (25/1)

Verdict

RETURN FIRE proved a consistent sort over fences last term and has run well off a break too so is worth siding with to capitalise on a lenient-looking mark back over hurdles. Pammi has a superb record round here and rates a big threat, while in-form maiden Tango Theatre ought to be in the shake-up too in an open handicap.
