6/1
Promise in bumpers and returned from a lengthy absence with a professional performance to make a winning hurdling debut at Exeter (18.5f) in October. Not built on that in 2 subsequent starts but faced a stiff task tackling Grade 2 company latterly. This rates more suitable.

5/2
Fair form when placed in pair of maiden hurdles late last year and left handicap debut effort in his wake (in first-time cheekpieces) when readily opening his account at Southwell (3m) 26 days ago, well served by longest trip he's tackled. Of firm interest again from 8 lb higher mark.

9/2
Fair hurdler who took a step firmly back in the right direction when making all in convincing fashion at Ludlow last spring. Pulled up at Warwick (21f) in September and now returns from another absence for new stable. Market should guide with yard also saddling Catch Him Derry.

33/1
Fair bumper performer and similar form on 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles without tasting success during 2021/22 season. Lengthy absence to overcome (also had wind op) and another for whom the betting may help point the way.

16/1
Bumper/hurdle winner who recorded a career best when making a successful reappearance in handicap company at Warwick (2m, soft) in November 2022. Respectable third on his Sandown reappearance but disappointing both starts since. Others preferred.

11/8
Definite signs of ability in pair of course novice events during second half of last year and justified good support to make a successful handicap debut at Southwell (24.2f) 6 weeks ago, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner. Expected to be bang there up 6 lb.

Forecasts

Catch Him Derry (11/8), Globe Player (5/2), Gwennie May Boy (9/2), Big Fish (6/1), Iontach Cheval (16/1), Phil De Pail (33/1)

Verdict

CATCH HIM DERRY and Globe Player both arrive on the back of victories and may well be the pair to focus on, the former, who pulled clear with a next-time-out winner, edging the vote. Big Fish will find this less taxing than his latest assignment and may do best of the others.
