5/6
Inconsistent performer but bounced back to form to make a winning start for this yard in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last week. Able to race off same mark here back over fences so obvious claims.

Yet to score over fences though he went close at Kelso (17f) in November. Most disappointing both starts since, however, tried in headgear last time.

Ex-pointer who is winless under Rules but again ran with credit despite a couple of untimely errors when third at Catterick 2 weeks ago. More needed to get his head in front.

Hinted at ability on bumper debut and made the frame in a Carlisle novice (19.3f) on first start over hurdles. However, has gone backwards from that effort since, shaping as if amiss on handicap/chase debut 12 days ago.

Placed in a couple of maiden hurdles last season and left chasing debut effort behind when fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh. However, added to patchy record when stuffed there 6 weeks ago.

12/1
A dual 17f chase winner last term and showed he still has plenty to offer when beating a pair of subsequent winners at Catterick 6 weeks ago. Technically only 3 lb higher here so must be considered down in class.

Took thirty-seven attempts to get off the mark before recording back-to-back wins at Market Rasen in the spring. Showed nothing both starts this season, however.

Forecasts

Demoiselle Kap (5/6), Flash Du Pistolet (4/1), Six One Nine (9/1), Valleyview Tommy (10/1), Fia Fuinidh (10/1), Ensel Du Perche (12/1), Diamond Mix (22/1), Kuma Beach (40/1), Brickadank (40/1), Ritson (50/1)

Verdict

DEMOISELLE KAP is far from reliable but she's hard to ignore having won off this mark in good style over hurdles at Sedgefield last week. In-form rivals are thin on the ground so Ensel du Perche is a clear next best having beat a pair of subsequent winners at Catterick last time.
