12/1
Useful handicap hurdler and similar form over fences, again running well when second of 4 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, good to soft) when last seen 19 months ago. Has long lay-off to overcome but is likeable and reliable.

17/2
Front runner who scored at Carlisle in February and quickly back on the up when landing a 6-runner event at Newcastle the following month. Unable to dominate and ran poorly on final outing at Perth in April. Cheekpieces refitted on this return to action.

10/1
Fairly useful hurdler who didn't need to be anywhere near that level to land the odds in 4-runner seller at Plumpton (15.9f, good) 9 days ago. Faces a stiffer task back in handicap company under 7-lb penalty, however.

85/40
Fairly useful in bumpers and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles in 2022/23 season, successful twice in novice company at up to 19.5f. Failed to meet expectations on handicap debut at Aintree 13 months ago but returns from another absence with stable in red-hot form.

7/2
Consistent and likeable hurdler who looked and shaped as though in need of the run in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle 24 days ago. Likely to be much closer to form this time and needs considering.

5/2
Progressive in bumpers and won a pair of novices at up to 19.6f on first 2 starts over hurdles. Matched rather than improved on previous form switched to a handicap when third of 8 at Uttoxeter on final outing in April. Remains unexposed.

Forecasts

Hourvari (85/40), Mr Bramley (5/2), Fingal's Hill (7/2), Rafferty's Return (17/2), Matchless (10/1), Herbiers (12/1)

Verdict

FINGAL'S HILL is a most likeable and consistent type who seems sure to be all the better for his reappearance, so he's fancied to notch a sixth career win over hurdles. Hourvari has a 13-month absence to overcome but reappears with his stable in red-hot form, with Herbiers another returner to keep an eye on in the betting.

  3. Herbiers12/1
