A fair hurdler who comes here on the back of success in 2m Flat handicap at Lingfield 12 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current mood off a reduced mark.

Runner-up on 6 of his first 7 starts over hurdles but well below best both runs this term at Exeter and Ascot. Needs to take a big step forward.

Successful twice on the Flat in summer and also landed a 2m1f Fontwell handicap hurdle in September. Recorded a solid third of 6 back there last time so needs considering.

Fair form when reaching the frame on his first 2 outings over hurdles for Lucinda Russell but came in a well-held seventh in 2m3f Taunton handicap on yard debut last month. Has a bit to prove.

French Flat winner who is improving over hurdles, just failing in his hat-trick bid in 2m3f Chepstow handicap last month having lost ground with error 2 out. Up 7 lb but he can gain compensation.

It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2023 and he had a wind op before posting a below-form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Others appeal more.

Still a maiden and tried in cheekpieces when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (24.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Not an easy ride.

Forecasts

Loverdose (9/4), Old Time Chaser (9/2), Fourtowns (11/2), Onewaywest (15/2), Poncho (9/1), Blue Hop (11/1), Douglas Dc (16/1), Rubies Or Gold (18/1), Calshot Spit (22/1), King Of The Lake (25/1), Walkinthewoods (33/1), Kolisi (33/1), Reforme (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout but it's still hard to side against Robert Walford's progressive LOVERDOSE who is fancied to gain compenastion for his excellent Chepstow second last time out when scuppered by a late error. Both Fourtowns and Poncho are weighted to have a say and must enter calculations, while others to consider include Onewaywest, Douglas DC and Calshot Spit.

  1. Loverdose9/4
  2. Fourtowns11/2
  3. Poncho9/1
