7/2

Point winner who has finished runner-up on all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles around 2½m, including at Worcester on reappearance. Shaped like a non-stayer on handicap debut at Aintree since. Back down in trip now and type to make a better chaser.

Form: 1222-26

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 116| D

6/1

Fair hurdler who made a positive start in this sphere towards the end of last season. Likely to have needed both his runs this term and better expected now.

Form: 1832-76

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Alex Edwards| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 111| CD

7/4

Did very well in his first season chasing last term, winning twice over this C&D. Good second upped in class at Wetherby on his return and strong chance of going one better.

Forecasts

Tom Creen (6/4), William Cody (7/4), Maclaine (5/2), Mylesfromwicklow (7/2), Zestful Hope (6/1), Family Business (12/1), Generous Day (14/1)

WILLIAM CODY is set for another good season judged on his fine second at Wetherby on his comeback 3 weeks ago and can enhance his excellent record around here. The thriving Tom Creen is the obvious threat, while Mylesfromwicklow is an interesting chasing debutant back down in trip.
