3/1
Fairly useful hurdles winner who was easily excused his return/chase debut run (saddle slipped) and he jumped accurately when seeing off sole rival at Kempton (18f) in November. Useful form despite finishing last of 4 in Grade 2 back there since and claims now handicapping in this sphere.

7/1
Point/bumper winner who won 3 of his 6 starts over hurdles last season. Sound start when hitting frame first 2 starts over fences and best excused latest run when tailed-off at Hereford in December (reportedly bled). Type to bounce back.

11/4
Bumper/hurdles winner in France who has hit the ground running over fences this winter, landing back-to-back Taunton handicaps at 18f. Didn't see things out back up at 20f when third at Aintree on Boxing Day but revised mark doesn't look insurmountable if he can leave that behind.

15/8
Likeable, three-time hurdles winner who is steadily progressive over fences, off the mark over C&D in November prior to a good second back here 24 days ago, no extra late on having made up plenty of ground. Should continue to hold his own.

15/2
Quickly made up into a fairly useful winner over hurdles last term. Has the physique for chasing but produced a lacklustre display following wind surgery/equipped with a tongue strap when well-beaten fourth on debut over fences at Chepstow (2m) in November. Too soon to write off, however.

Forecasts

Pilsdon Pen (15/8), Heros (11/4), Bourbali (3/1), Western Zephyr (7/1), Romancero Le Dun (15/2)

Verdict

A winner of a match on his penultimate outing, BOURBALI acquitted himself with plenty of credit despite finishing last of 4 in Grade 2 company back at Kempton over Christmas and, now handicapping in this sphere, he earns the vote to resume winning ways. C&D winner Pilsdon Pen is a likeable type and should give another good account, whilst Heros is also a threat if shrugging off a lesser run at Aintree on Boxing Day.
