Is going from strength to strength and belied market weakness after a 5-month break to make it 2 from 2 over fences with ease at this course (19.3f, heavy) last week. Able to race from same mark back over hurdles, so highly respected.

Winless since December 2020 but went close back up in trip in 7-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f) on final outing last season. Good chance if returning in similar form.

14/1
Dual C&D scorer early in 2022 who resumed from 8 months off with a good third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, heavy). Ran badly when pulled up over C&D 16 days later, however.

Fairly useful hurdler for Charlie Longsdon earlier in his career but bled on his final start in 2020/21 and not seen out since. Can only be watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

Course winner who stepped up on his stable debut back over fences when sixth in 10-runner event at Ayr (20.5f, good) 12 days ago. Needs more quickly returned to hurdling, though.

7/4
Capitalised on the drop in grade returned to hurdling with victory in 10-runner handicap at this course (16.8f, soft, 13/2) 7 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Escapes a penalty for that and has to be taken seriously in his follow-up bid up in trip.

17/2
Fair winning hurdler who ran well on return/handicap debut when third at Hexham (2m) last November. Failed to reproduce that form in 3 subsequent starts but bounced back to something like her best when runner-up at Pontefract on her most recent Flat outing. Not dismissed.

Aided by first-time cheekpieces when decisively taking 13-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, heavy) in March. Ran at least as well in defeat from 8 lb higher at Hereford next time and will be suited by this return to further on reappearance.

Forecasts

Special Rate (5/4), Horn Cape (7/4), Bonne Vitesse (17/2), Punxsutawney Phil (12/1), Hajey (14/1), Chti Balko (16/1), Play By The Rules (25/1), Diger Daudaie (40/1)

Verdict

HORN CAPE showed a determined attitude to register a second course success here last week and, with the longer trip likely to be within range, he's taken to follow up off the same mark. Bonne Vitesse ran up to her best on her most recent Flat outing and has been given a chance by the assessor back over hurdles, with the fast-improving Special Rate also feared.
