4/1
Likeable sort who had another good campaign last season, winning twice. Well supported when making a successful debut over fences at Wetherby on return. Followed up in Grade 2 at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago though was fortunate to do so, held when left in front at last. Much respected back in a handicap.

2/1
Hasn't always looked the most fluent over hurdles but clearly possesses plenty of ability, winning 3 times and excuses when well held in a couple of Grade 1s last season. Not an obvious chasing type on pedigree but has the size to take to this sphere and opening mark looks a fair one.

6/1
Brother to very smart chaser Lalor. Proved a useful novice hurdler last season, winning on 3 occasions. Shaped as if needing the run at Cheltenham on return and seemed a bit caught out by the drop to 2m on chase bow at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Trip a concern again.

6/4
Useful form over hurdles last season, winning here on debut. Positive start over fences when runner-up at Newbury on handicap bow/return 3 weeks ago. Likely to improve and well capable of going one better.

Forecasts

Persian Time (6/4), Authorised Speed (2/1), Homme Public (4/1), Lallygag (6/1)

Verdict

Lightly-raced hurdler PERSIAN TIME shaped encouragingly with his attentions turned to chasing when runner-up at Newbury on his handicap bow/return and can put that experience to good use. Homme Public was undoubtedly fortunate to win a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time but still rates the main threat bidding for the hat-trick.
