Didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 7-runner maiden hurdle at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago. More required back in handicap company under a penalty.

Got back on track reverting to hurdling when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good, 18/1) in November. Bred to stay well so worthy of respect in follow-bid over this longer trip.

Staged a full-scale revival from somewhat out of the blue when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) last week, easily. Big chance if turning up in similar form under a penalty.

Showed useful winning form in bumpers but yet to hit those heights sent hurdling and was pulled up on his handicap debut here on most recent outing. Steps up in trip and fitted with a first-time tongue strap.

Produced a career best to double his career tally at Hereford (25.5f) in December. Ran too badly to be true at Wincanton subsequently. Worth another chance.

Eleven runs since last win in 2021 but took a step back in the right direction when seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 27 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time.

Forecasts

Jubilant (2/1), Gustoso (5/2), Punxsutawney Phil (4/1), Aquila Sky (17/2), Tigerbythetail (9/1), Playtogetaway (10/1)

Verdict

PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL quickened right away in the straight at Newcastle last week and will surely be hard to beat if turning up in similar form under a penalty. Playtogetaway is feared most ahead of Gustoso.
