Fair maiden handicap hurdler who shaped as if better for the run both starts this season. Has the size to make a chaser and potentially on a nice mark so not taken lightly now switched to fences.

Ridden positively and took full advantage of a drop in the weights when landing 9-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (20f) in March. Yet to fire this season, however.

Tricky customer who bounced back to capitalise on a handy mark in 8-runner contest at Newcastle but merely underlined his inconsistency at Wetherby next time.

Didn't trouble the judge in a trio of runs over hurdles for Barry Murtagh but he's a point winner and has upped his form since switched to chasing, opening his account with something in hand at Hexham before following up under a penalty at Uttoxeter. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Maiden hurdler who made an encouraging start over fences, fifth of 14 in 2m3f handicap chase at Catterick. Hasn't built on that since but back down in class here and longer trip may help.

Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Got off the mark for his new yard in handicap chase at Hexham 20 months ago. Well held on belated return there in November but stepped up appreciably on that when fourth at Carlisle and entitled to come on again.

Best effort when runner-up in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy, 12/1) on debut over fences 26 days ago, doing her best work late on. Failed to match that next time but return to further should suit.

Got off the mark over fences at Hexham in April and good placed efforts last 3 starts, third of 6 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, heavy, 16/5) 35 days ago. Respected.

Modest winner at 25f over hurdles. Similar form over fences, fourth of 11 at Catterick (25.2f, soft, 20/1) 25 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Offered little in a handful of runs over hurdles but made much more of an impact in 2 runs over fences, clear when unseated rider 2 out in 3m Hexham handicap chase in May. Well held back over hurdles at Newcastle on return but worth another chance back in this sphere.

Poor maiden hurdler for Philip Hobbs & Johnson White and failed to land a blow in a couple of handicap chases for this yard. Took little interest back over hurdles next time.

Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. Runner-up last 2 starts but those came in very weak events and he's 6 lb out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Breeze Of Wind (1/1), Five Dollar Fine (17/2), Our Friend Mo (17/2), Nights In Venice (10/1), Wavelength (12/1), Don Brocco (12/1), Robert d'Ores (16/1), Uptown Harry (20/1), Gibberwell (25/1), Old Page (25/1), Aire Valley Lad (28/1), Dark Duomo (33/1)

Verdict

BREEZE OF WIND is improving fast so a further 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. The lightly-raced Robert d'Ores is worth another chance back in this sphere so is next best ahead of Nights In Venice, who has the size to make a chaser.
