6/1
Rangy gelding who showed promise in bumpers and left his hurdling debut form well behind to open his account in 10-runner novice at Taunton (19f) in December, quickening clear flat having jumped/travelled well. Found it tougher under a penalty at Ascot and opening mark looks on the high side.

10/3
Runner-up on Auteuil in October 2023 and left behind a considerate first 2 runs for the stable when landing 7-runner handicap hurdle (11/1) at Kempton (16f, soft) 22 days ago, forging clear. Has to be taken seriously in follow-up bid.

5/1
Three-time winner on the level and has shown plenty in 2m maiden hurdles at Kempton and Huntingdon, latterly pulling clear of the rest when making a real race of it with an odds-on shot from the Nicky Henderson yard. Respected making a quick switch to handicaps.

9/4
Fair form in bumpers and of a similar level over hurdles, making the frame on his first 4 starts and not doing badly considering he was way too free in first-time cheekpieces (left off here) at Sandown on most recent outing. Not written off.

11/2
Showed improved form to get off the mark in his second handicap at Sandown (2m, soft) in December, showing a willing attitude. However, in nothing like the same form at Chepstow since, so bounce back needed returning from a 2-month break.

8/1
Fair in bumpers and belatedly showed similar form over hurdles when making a winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter (19,9f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, doing so with plenty in hand. In a better race from a 5 lb higher mark but further progress very possible.

Forecasts

Authentic Legacy (9/4), Epinephrine (10/3), Nap Hand (5/1), Razzle Dazzle Boy (11/2), U Cant Be Serious (6/1), Tarbuck (8/1)

Verdict

EPINEPHRINE left behind a considerate first 2 runs for the stable when forging away in a well-run race at Kempton just over 3 weeks earlier and a 9 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Tarbuck won a much weaker handicap at Uttoxeter recently but had plenty in hand nonetheless and warrants respect in his follow-up bid, while the useful-looking Authentic Legacy shouldn't be written off.
