Promise on handicap debut when second at Musselburgh (19.8f) in November, though not in the same form on his next couple of starts. Back on track when runner-up at Hexham (16.2f) in June before finding it tougher at Perth next time. Major player back down in grade.

Fair form when winning handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) back in 2020 and ran to a similar level when fifth of 6 on chase debut at the same course in November 2021. However, went backwards from that effort later the same month and he now reverts to hurdling after 22 months off.

9/4
Continued his progress over hurdles when fourth of 12 at Market Rasen (20.6f) on his handicap bow in June, shaping like a stayer. Below-par effort at the same course (18.6f) next time, but could get back on the up following a wind op.

7/1
Made a winning start over hurdles at Perth (16.2f) last autumn but hasn't gone on from that effort since, including over fences. Fared no better in first-time cheekpieces when sixth in handicap hurdle at Kelso last time, so others more persuasive with blinkers now reached for.

14/1
Modest handicap hurdler who completed hat-trick in 2020/21 for Johnny Farrelly. Lightly raced since, producing best effort for his current trainer when fourth at Market Rasen (18.6f) in August. Always behind on the Flat next time, so bounce back called for returned to hurdling.

11/2
Point winner who left previous efforts under Rules behind when making a successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (18.6f) in August. Has run well both starts since, second at Worcester (2m) on her latest outing, and she's respected as she goes back up in trip.

8/1
Backed at long odds when successful at Hexham (20.1f) in November but his record is a patchy one, producing one of his better efforts in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up back at the same C&D in March. Capable if he's on a going day after 6 months off.

Fair form over hurdles on her only start in France, but hasn't progressed for her current yard. Again finished well held at Southwell (15.8f) a month ago, though shaped as if a step up in trip might help and her mark continues to fall.

Struggled for form over hurdles last season but better signs when runner-up back over fences at Perth (20.1f) in August. Has had excuses both starts since, unsuited by testing conditions at the same C&D 11 days ago, though has a bit to prove reverted to hurdling.

Forecasts

Summergrounds (9/4), Kilbrainy (3/1), Diana Prince (11/2), Our Marty (7/1), Lewa House (8/1), Asa (12/1), Sehayli (14/1), Miss Wachit (14/1), Artic Mann (18/1), A Place Apart (28/1)

Verdict

KILBRAINY ran up to his best when second at Hexham in June and, although not quite in the same form next time, he could be ready to open his account as he drops back down in grade returned to this longer trip. Diana Prince has shown improved form since switched to handicaps and is feared most, ahead of Summergrounds.
