16/1
Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers and some promise to glean from his exploits in novice hurdles for Alex Hales early in 2022. Lengthy absence to overcome but no big surprise to see him hit the ground running now handicapping on debut for new yard.

12/1
Successful on his sole outing in points and has shaped with promise on the first 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months. Longer trips may suit ideally but worth noting if the market speaks in his favour on this switch to a handicap.

Modest maiden who posted creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) 27 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Every chance with a repeat.

Third on bumper debut in March 2021. Has failed to better modest form in a trio of hurdle starts after a long absence but he's the type to do better now handicapping.

Largely consistent performer but didn't go about things in a straightforward manner when finishing third at Plumpton (15.9f) 23 days ago.

Poor maiden who failed to complete for the third time from 5 starts in this sphere when unseating rider early on in a Ffos Las handicap a year ago (had breathing op prior). Absent since and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Has failed to trouble the judge in a trio of novice hurdles but this former point winner may well be seen in a better light now handicapping at a low level.

No great shakes in bumpers and has offered little in a trio of hurdle outings in recent months. Needs to show much more now sent handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

From the family of useful chaser Storm Control and has shown some promise on both completed starts in junior hurdles. Into handicaps now armed with healthy 4-y-o allowance and could improve.

Poor maiden who ran one of his better races when third of 13 in handicap at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 48 days ago. Back down in trip.

Forecasts

Lady Balko (2/1), Robber's Bridge (10/3), Billytherealbigred (11/2), Ingennio (15/2), Embolden (17/2), Tara Iti (10/1), One Eye On Vegas (12/1), Letthedustsettle (12/1), Racy Lacey (12/1), Hara Kiri (16/1), James Baie (80/1), Milton Boy (100/1), Howdy Partner (125/1), Invincible Wish (150/1)

Verdict

HARA KIRI has a long absence to overcome but he's joined a yard whose runners rarely lack for fitness and, having shown promise in a trio of novice hurdles for Alex Hales he makes plenty of appeal from a modest opening mark. Billytherealbigred is another interesting handicap debutant, with Ingennio likely to be on the premises if reproducing his latest effort.
