Won 3m handicap chase at Southwell in January but ran another moody race back there in May and again looked hard work returned to hurdling at Exeter a month ago. Shaped better when second at Warwick 24 days ago but hung left that day and flattered by proximity to winner. Chance if on a going day.

Well backed and shaped encouragingly after 5 months off when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) in September, closing all way to line. Failed to build on that promise when below par at Warwick 24 days ago. Step up to 3m could help but needs to bring out some improvement.

C&D winner. Thrived towards the end of last season, winning three times at up to 3m. Shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off when fourth at Hexham (23.3f in October, prior to slipping up a circuit out at Newcastle (23.7f). Well held at Kelso 35 days ago and plenty to prove now.

C&D winner who built on comeback run when fourth of 8 at Ascot over 3m three weeks ago. Possibly not the force of old but well-treated if rediscovering her best form.

Interesting contender with a standout effort over hurdles (beat smart sort from Alan King Yard at Plumpton in December over 2m 4 furlongs). Possible excuses last twice and remains unexposed now stepped up in trip.

Has developed into a consistent sort, hitting the frame on last 4 runs, Ran over C&D latest and posted another respectable effort. Should go well again.

5/2
Winless last term but proved consistent and deservedly opened his hurdles account on return at Ayr. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested from 4 lb higher (fortunate not to hit the deck after 2 out) at Carlisle (24.6f, good to soft) last month so fancied to be in the mix.

Forecasts

Adveram (5/2), Jeteye (3/1), Ernest Gray (11/2), Midnightreflection (6/1), Cloud Dancer (15/2), Fierce Warrior (8/1), Velasco (16/1)

Verdict

A trappy event in which a few have decent claims. A chance is taken on FIERCE WARRIOR who posted a standout effort at Plumpton in December, and with possible excuses the last twice, he remains of interest now upped in trip. Adveram was unlucky not to finish closer last time and he should go well again. The consistent Jeteye should also be in the mix.

  1. Fierce Warrior8/1
  2. Adveram5/2
  3. Jeteye3/1
