Still to get his head in front but arrives in good nick, seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 41 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again.

Brought along steadily before getting off the mark on his handicap debut in 8-runner event at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 28 days ago, forging clear. Holds good claims off a 7 lb higher mark with more progress on the cards.

Yet to score but he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when third of nine in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 17 days ago. Needs to follow it up now.

Forecasts

How And Ever (11/4), Bitsnbuckles (3/1), Sangiovese (9/2), Bobalot (6/1), Rollo's Kingdom (13/2), Talimar Pearl (13/2), Journey West (50/1)

Verdict

Gary Moore's SANGIOVESE appeals as the sort to keep on improving now sent into handicaps and can make light of 7 lb rise for his emphatic Southwell success. Olly Murphy's Huntingdon victor Bitsnbuckles also has better days ahead of him and rates the obvious threat with C&D winner Bobalot and handicap debutant How And Ever in the mix too in an intriguing contest.

  1. Sangiovese9/2
  2. Bitsnbuckles3/1
  3. Bobalot6/1
