C&D winner but had a poor time last season and beaten 21 lengths when fourth on his C&D return from wind surgery in November. Tongue tied first time now.

Useful hurdler/chaser but off since finishing second in a 3m Grade 2 novice chase at Wetherby in February 2023. The betting should help guide to expectations.

25/1
Point winner who took well to hurdling last season, winning 3m Doncaster listed novice in March before fine fourth in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree (3m again) in April. Has taken to fences this winter but may fare better back hurdling.

17/2
Promise in maiden/novice hurdles last season and improved to make a winning handicap debut/reappearance at Haydock (19f, soft) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Likely has even more to offer so a 5 lb rise may not stop him.

Landed a pair of 3m handicap hurdle wins for Nick Alexander in 2022/23 season but not seen since finishing a below-par sixth at Carlisle 14 months ago. Possibly best watched unless the market hints otherwise.

13/2
Course novice hurdle winner back in 2022. Off 21 months, shaped as if retaining all his ability when third of 10 at Kelso (23f) 25 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.

9/2
Largely progressive hurdles, winning a 21f Kelso handicap in November. Good second (Gaillimh A Stor third) over 23f back there since. The even longer trip today should play to his strengths. Respected.

Made steady progressive over hurdles last season, landing a 23f Kelso handicap in April. Off since but he's a low-mileage sort who could easily have more to offer.

It's now 19 runs since his last win in 2021. Did run well for second at Carlisle (17f, soft) in October but not in anything like the same form at Haydock (2m) since. Significantly back up in trip now.

Off the mark in 19.5f course handicap on reappearance in October. This consistent has hit the frame on both outings since but he is 4 lb out of the handicap here.

Forecasts

Both Barrels (11/4), Adveram (3/1), Forged Well (9/2), Gaillimh A Stor (13/2), Hazy Glen (17/2), O'Toole (14/1), Wakool (14/1), Pinot Rouge (25/1), Coventry (33/1), Theme Tune (66/1)

Verdict

HAZY GLEN should have more to come so a 5 lb rise for Haydock doesn't look enough to prevent him going in again assuming his stamina holds now stepping up significantly in trip. Last-time-out Kelso 2-3 Forged Well and Gaillimh A Stor may give him most to do.
