7/2
Dual winner in points who got off the mark over hurdles in maiden at Newton Abbot in July. Some improvement switched to fences/handicaps since (placed all 4 starts in this sphere) and live contender with conditions no problem.

18/1
Chepstow maiden hurdle winner in February 2021 but hasn't troubled the judge since, including in 3 starts in this sphere (pulled up on 2 occasions), and recent reappearance effort (over hurdles) wasn't inspiring. Frankie Faulkner appears to be the stable No 1.

9/2
Four-time winner between the flags but he's 0-13 under Rules and is opposable on the back of a poor reappearance display at Wincanton,

9/4
Made it third time lucky over fences on the back of a wind op at Warwick (25.4f, heavy) recently, responding well after the eventual runner-up eyeballed him at the second-last. 7 lb rise looks fair given that the first 2 pulled clear of the rest and he's the one to beat.

Comfortably held all 3 starts over hurdles and didn't fare any better switched to fences on return at Wincanton. Now tried in cheekpieces. Yard also saddles Bob Bank.

8/1
Found just one too good on chase debut at Uttoxeter last December but seemingly gone the wrong way since and was pulled up on return in the Warwick handicap won by Percy Veering.

Well beaten in bumpers/hurdles and similar story switched to fences the last twice, latterly tailed off in Percy Veering's race at Warwick.

Forecasts

Percy Veering (9/4), Frankie Faulkner (7/2), Concrete King (9/2), Bob Bank (6/1), Invictus Allen (8/1), Patient Owner (8/1), Champagne Rhythm (18/1), Hey Bud (22/1)

Verdict

This looks between FRANKIE FAULKNER and Percy Veering, with preference for the former who was unlucky not to prevail on heavy ground at Newton Abbot in September and conditions were probably too lively for him next time. Percy Veering displayed a good attitude when opening his chase account at Warwick and won't go down without a fight. Concrete King is on a good mark based on bits and pieces of form but he has a bit to prove at present.

  1. Frankie Faulkner7/2
  2. Percy Veering9/4
  3. Concrete King9/2
