William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Handicap Hurdle

Course winner who progressed well last term, scoring 3 times. Acquitted himself well in both starts this season, latest when seventh of 15 in valuable handicap at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft, 11/1) last month and sights lowered now.

Likeable type who found a bit more improvement to land a Bangor handicap in March and shaped as if better for the run when fifth at Carlisle (20f, soft) on reappearance last month. Should be straighter now.

Three-time winner over hurdles in 2021/22 but clearly had his issues since and shaped as if amiss sent chasing after long absence at Huntingdon last month. Potentially well handicapped if return to hurdling sparks a revival.

Won a Leopardstown handicap (20f) for Gordon Elliott this time last year and shaped as if better for run for new yard when respectable fourth of 10 at this course (19.7f, heavy) 38 days ago. Blinkers (worn for victory) now reapplied and looks an interesting contender.

Found some improvement when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) 94 days ago. Since joined Olly Murphy and may be capable of better yet.

Fairly useful handicap chaser at best and showed he retains some ability, after lengthy absence, when fourth in handicap hurdle at this course last month. Ran badly back over the larger obstacles at Doncaster since, however.
