Fetched £85,000 after finishing runner-up on sole point start last spring and bolted up on third run under Rules in an Exeter maiden hurdle (21.6f, heavy) in January. Presented with a simple task when following up in a 3-runner affair at Wincanton since and he remains with potential.

Went off the rails over fences but went with much more zest after the refitting of a visor and a return to hurdling before taking a late fall at Doncaster in February. Likely to have won there if staying up there, so is respected again provided that hasn't left a mark.

22/1
Lightly raced since landing a trio of maiden/novice events in 2021/22. Proved he retains some ability before falling late at Wetherby on Boxing Day but followed that up with another poor effort at Ascot and he's got something to prove now.

Possesses a good strike rate but her profile is becoming very much all-or-nothing, following up December's Catterick success with a tame effort at Market Rasen in February. Capable of getting involved if putting her best foot forward.

Yet to score in 8 starts over fences but probably should have won when beaten only a nose on return from 8 months off at Ffos Las (21.5f) in December. Excuses on her next 2 outings and market can prove guide back over hurdles.

Lightly-raced 7-y-o who shaped well on first run since leaving Tom George when second in a 7-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft, 9/4) in January. Pulled up on handicap debut at Newbury (24.2f, heavy) last month but conditions may have been against and he could be worth another chance

Winless since landing a brace of handicaps in autumn 2021 and merely underlined inconsistency when pulled up at Doncaster last time. Others easier to fancy.

11/2
Took advantage of a drop in the weights to score over C&D on return and reached the podium on his next 2 outings over hurdles. Again held back by jumping having another crack over fences last time but he's not discounted racing from a light weight back over the smaller obstacles.

Forecasts

Largy Poet (2/1), G A Henty (2/1), Chris Cool (11/2), Gazette Bourgeoise (9/1), Blue Bikini (12/1), Bridge North (14/1), Time To Tinker (20/1), Fair Frontieres (22/1)

Verdict

LARGY POET looks a young staying hurdler to keep on the right side of and he's fancied to complete the hat-trick stepping into handicap company. Bridge North would likely have won if not for a late fall at Doncaster last time and he rates as the main threat provided headgear has the same effect second time around, with Chris Cool taken to complete the placings.
