One-time useful handicap hurdler/chaser but has shown little this season following a 19-month absence, including back over hurdles in a first-time visor at Wetherby latest. Lots to prove.

Made all at Market Rasen in November and has shown similar form in finishing third on both handicaps starts since, latterly at Sandown (19.8f). Should go well again.

Aided by an uncontested lead when landing a Southwell maiden in ready fashion in December. Unsuited by how the race developed when only seventh of 10 on handicap debut at Doncaster subsequently, so shouldn't be judged too harshly on that. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

2/1
Fairly useful form when runner-up all 3 starts in bumpers and yet to finish outside placings on all completed starts over hurdles, albeit no match for the winner at Doncaster (19.4f, good) on most recent outing. Jumping remains a concern but should be in the thick of the action once again.

9/2
Fair winner on Flat in German who bolted up on his Wetherby hurdle debut when trained by the Dan Skelton. Has dropped in the weights for current yard and confirmed return to form when second in 12-runner handicap at Warwick (2m) last month. Should remain competitive if keeping mistakes to a minimum.

Forecasts

Typhoon Flyer (13/8), Diamond Koda (2/1), Hecouldbetheone (11/4), Kourosh (9/2), Land Of Moon (6/1), Caramelo Rapido (10/1), Miss Maverick (12/1), Herbiers (14/1)

Verdict

HECOULDBETHEONE didn't see his race out at Taunton when last seen in November, but had run well behind an unexposed youngster on his previous start, so is well worth another chance back from a break in a first-time visor. Kourosh and the reliable Diamond Koda head up the opposition.
