5/4
Shaped well sole start in bumpers and built on encouraging hurdles debut when second of 12 upped to 21f in a Warwick maiden last month. Remains open to improvement and he's a leading player.

£80,000 4-y-o. Successful sole run between the flags in February 2023 and, though absent since, he needs a close look on Rules debut for his in-form new yard.

Fairly useful at best on the Flat for Mick Appleby and has shown some promise in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles at Southwell and Huntingdon for his new handler. No forlorn hope.

Fair form shown in bumpers for Joe Ponting, third of 8 at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Much respected on his hurdles debut for excellent new yard.

Fair 7f winner on Flat for Aidan O'Brien. Much better effort in this sphere when second of 9 in novice hurdle here (16f, soft) 18 days ago. Not ruled out back up in trip.

80/1, never-dangerous fourteenth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft) on debut last May for John Hanlon. Lots more is required.

Little impact in a couple of bumpers and needs a big step forward now going hurdling.

Forecasts

Escapologist (5/4), Aviation (5/4), Mohawk Chief (6/1), Dwight K Schrute (9/1), Educator (18/1), Wingmann (200/1), Walk The Plank (300/1), Suzy Wood (300/1)

Verdict

AVIATION holds the best form on offer so is taken to build on his Warwick second and get off the mark in this sphere. Hurdling newcomers Dwight K Schrute and Escapologist are both in good hands and need considering too, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
