Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in last of 4 on his yard debut in 10f Lingfield novice on the Flat last time. Lots more is needed on his handicap hurdle debut.

20/1
In excellent form when bagging 2m handicaps at Fakenham and Plumpton but he was pulled up in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (17.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Sort to bounce back though.

5/2
A fairly useful bumper performer but he's yet to match that in this sphere, cheekpieces on when just a respectable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Needs to step forward.

5/1
Fair on the Flat, sixth in 12f Lingfield handicap in January. Has also shown some promise over hurdles, last seen in this sphere when sixth at Fakenham in October 2022. Worth a market check back hurdling.

7/1
A fairly useful bumper winner in France. Off 20 months before never dangerous in a trio of maiden hurdles, a running-on seventh in 2m Plumpton novice last time out. Sort to do better in handicaps.

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in last of 9 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) 64 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

Forecasts

Cawthorne Banker (5/2), Freddie Fleetfoot (16/5), Albert Park (9/2), Pride Of Nepal (5/1), Inigo (7/1), Ronaldoreturns (12/1), Mi Sueno (20/1), Haafback (80/1), Phil The Sock (150/1)

Verdict

Both ALBERT PARK and Inigo appeal as likely improvers now stepping into handicap company for the first time and can fight this out with narrow preference for Nigel Hawke's fairly useful ex-Irish Flat maiden over Gary Moore's French bumper scorer. Pride of Nepal appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours now returned to hurdles.
