6/1
Useful novice chaser in 2021/22 but had missed 21 months after a brief stint back over hurdles the following season and it's hard to know how much ability he retains following a s low-key comeback at Ffos Las in December.

Forecasts

Newton Tornado (1/2), Histrionic (7/2), Saint Palais (6/1), Special John (16/1), Great Name That (28/1), Tommy Tucker (250/1)

Verdict

NEWTON TORNADO sets a good standard and is difficult to oppose with his latest effort supported by the timefigure. Histrionic should improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Warwick and can give the selection most to think about.

  1. Newton Tornado1/2
  2. Histrionic7/2
