8/1
Useful hurdler/chaser in France who shaped as if in need of the outing after a wind-op but at least showed more than on UK debut when seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) a fortnight ago. Interesting down in trip if able to step forward in first-time cheekpieces.

1/1
Represents a thriving yard and proved better than ever when landing a 9-runner C&D handicap (heavy) 26 days ago, impressing with the way in which he jumped and travelled. Leading player from 7 lb higher mark.

Winner of a novice hurdle at Sedgefield in December 2021 but not seen since pulling up at Uttoxeter on final outing that season. Best watched going chasing after 23 months off. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Made a successful debut over fences at Taunton (18f) in November before following up over that same C&D the subsequent month. Laboured effort when last seen at Wincanton (20.2f, soft, 11/4) 48 days ago and yard are quieter now, so bounce back called for.

Winless last season but he kept his form well and resumed with a solid fourth in handicap chase at Sedgefield (29f) in October. Below par both starts since, though, and he's tricky to assess despite reapplication of cheekpieces.

Bounced back to form after a wind-op when second of 6 in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, soft) 29 days ago, despite making mistakes and racing freely. Claims again from unchanged mark.

Forecasts

Eaton Collina (1/1), Will Sting (5/1), Heros (11/2), Placenet (8/1), No Word Of A Lie (17/2), Geryville (18/1)

Verdict

EATON COLLINA represents the in-form Kerry Lee team and can follow up his recent C&D success. Will Sting made life difficult for himself last time but still posted a creditable second-placed effort, with Placenet also intriguing down in trip with 2 runs for his current yard under his belt.
