Gained reward for consistency over hurdles when opening his account in handicap at Taunton (19f, good) last spring. However, he has yet to shine in this sphere and, though edging down the weights, others make more appeal.

9/2
Successful twice last season (including over this C&D) and, having slipped in the weights, he took a step back in the right direction when sixth (travelled smoothly) at Windsor last time. Down another 3 lb and bold show likely, provided that he again keeps the mistakes to a minimum.

Fair ex-Irish hurdler but hasn't shown much at all in 2 runs since switched to fences, including when returning from a break on debut for new yard at Plumpton in December.

7/2
Showed promise in novice hurdles prior to an improved effort on his handicap debut at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) where he was a solid third of 13. The fact that he was placed both starts between the flags augurs well ahead of his switch to the larger obstacles here. One to be interested in.

9/4
Ridden more patiently than usual when a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) on New Year's Day. Feasible excuses at Lingfield recently and will be a threat if able to build on his Exeter promise with the aid of first-time cheekpieces.

50/1
Modest hurdler got off the mark when winning an 11-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good) in April 2022. Offered little on first run since at Fontwell last month and while he's naturally entitled to come on for that, he's probably best watched on this belated chase debut.

Forecasts

Good Friday Fairy (9/4), Bertie Wooster (9/4), Thunder N Lightnin (7/2), Abingworth (9/2), Givehimthehonour (16/1), Constant Friday (50/1)

Verdict

Granted a clean round of jumping, ABINGWORTH could be the answer. The 7-y-o was a C&D scorer on his sole previous visit here last March and is now 3 lb below that winning mark. Having shown promise in a trio of novice hurdles, Thunder N Lightnin is of strong interest switched to fences for his up-and-coming yard and he rates the main danger ahead of Good Friday Fairy.
