10/3
Winning Irish pointer/hurdler. No show in 3 starts over fences last season but fared much better (had a breathing operation and tongue tied) when second at Ffos Las on return. Entitled to come on for that so leading claims with yard remaining in fine form.

13/2
Off the mark over hurdles in 13-runner handicap at Newbury at the end of the 2021/22 season and made an encouraging belated return/chase debut when second there in January. However, ran an alarmingly wayward race when pulled up at Kempton on return so bit to prove now.

7/1
Point/hurdles winner but ended last season badly out of form. At least starts the new campaign on a nice mark with yard going well.

8/1
Better for return when capitalising on a much-reduced mark over C&D, scraping home in the end having looked in control. Seemed stretched by the longer trip at Hereford since. In the mix.

11/10
No great shakes over hurdles/on the Flat in Ireland but has upped his game for new yard, runner-up all 3 starts, going close switched to fences last twice. Should go well again stepping up in trip.

Forecasts

Superbolt (11/10), Phantom Getaway (10/3), Blairgowrie (13/2), Lagonda (7/1), Current Mood (8/1)

Verdict

PHANTOM GETAWAY got his career back on track fitted with a tongue strap (also had a breathing operation) when runner-up at Ffos Las on return and should make a bold bid to go one place better. Superbolt has taken well to fences for this yard and rates the main threat.
