5/6
Fairly useful bumper scorer who easily got off the mark in this sphere in 8-runner novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft, 2/13) 5 days ago. Back up in trip and can do better.

Fairly useful form shown when landing bumpers at Taunton and Fontwell in the spring and bolted up on hurdling debut at Kempton despite pulling hard. Excellent second in Newbury conditions event since. More to offer so he's a big player.

Useful bumper winner for Milton Harris but off 11 months since a well-held fifth in 2m Wincanton maiden hurdle. Needs to hit the ground running for his new handler.

Forecasts

Fire Flyer (5/6), Secret Squirrel (11/10), Moorefields (13/2), Move With The Beat (28/1), Earth Cry (50/1), Broomhill Road (80/1), Getuptheyard (200/1), Whats Cooking (200/1), Palawan Du Mazet (250/1), Iron Wings (250/1)

Verdict

Hughie Morrison's SECRET SQUIRREL found only Nicky Henderson's highly-rated Jeriko du Reponet too good at Newbury last time so is taken to regain the winning thread at the chief expense of Paul Nicholls' Wincanton scorer Fire Flyer. Exeter victor Moorefields rates the pick of the rest for place purposes.
