8/1
Building up a good record over hurdles, his speed again in evidence when making all in a Kempton listed and Wincanton Grade 2 this autumn. Lost nothing in defeat to Constitution Hill in the Christmas Hurdle at former track last time and another bold showing is likely.

12/1
Very useful winning hurdler who was farm from disgraced when third to Constitution Hill in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton a month ago. Rubaud seemingly has the beating of him, though.

18/1
Developed into a smart and likeable hurdler in 2022. Has been off the track almost two years, however and, even if retaining all of his ability, he has a bit to find.

4/7
Was the pick of the juvenile's last season, landing the Triumph here and the Champion Juvenile at Punchestown when last seen 9 months ago. More to come and likely to make a successful return.

4/1
Very smart hurdler who looked decidedly rusty when second to Not So Sleepy in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Sandown 49 days ago. Should be much sharper for that run and has the ability to trouble Lossiemouth.

Forecasts

Lossiemouth (4/7), Love Envoi (4/1), Rubaud (8/1), First Street (12/1), Guard Your Dreams (18/1)

Verdict

LOSSIEMOUTH is the class act in this field and, while she's been off the track longer than connections would have liked, she should be straight enough to make a successful reappearance. Love Envoi is an obvious danger in the expectation that she comes on for her reappearance, and Rubaud is respected having been beaten only by Constitution Hill last time.

  1. Lossiemouth4/7
  2. Love Envoi4/1
  3. Rubaud8/1
