9/4

Fair in bumpers and showed aptitude for hurdling after 8 months off (had breathing op) fitted with a tongue strap when fourth in 12-runner maiden at Warwick (21f) in December. Upped to this trip and matched that form at Uttoxeter 5 weeks ago (behind Newton Tornado). Retains potential.

Form: 1/375-43

1/2

£85,000 buy after winning an Irish point in May and placed all 4 starts over hurdles, failing to land the odds when second at Uttoxeter last month (ahead of Histrionic). Drying ground may help and the one to beat.

Forecasts

Newton Tornado (1/2), Histrionic (9/4), Gaelic Rambler (8/1), Minneigh Mozze (100/1)

With drying ground likely to help NEWTON TORNADO see this out, he can get it right at the fifth time of asking. Histrionic finished behind the selection last time and may chase him home again unless Gaelic Rambler is an above-average point recruit.
